When I last left you, experiment #1 was a success and figured things wouldn't be a lost cause and I could continue. I then had a mini-fridge that can both heat and freeze - I turned the heat on and left some cigars in for over 2 weeks. It was too hot, though, (fridge box says it gets to 120...

that was me - still working on things, but results so far have been positive.

The best description I have heard for the difference is that mold is 3d, bloom is a film. Also, mold will stain the wrapper and is harder to get off than bloom - try gently wiping it off. If it comes off fine then it is bloom. If it takes a little effort and leaves a dark spot behind then it...

I've gotten this free cigar - takes quite a while for them to get it out but it does arrive eventually. I haven't received any catalogs either - it might truely be just for sending you a cigar and that's it.

Hope she gets better. I don't know what I would do if my gf got sick - I think I'd be in worse shape worrying about her than she would be. It's good she has you, though.

Wow - that is really too bad, but really nice of the jewelry store to give you a discount. If I lived down by you I know where I'd be buying jewelry from now on.

I don't understand why they don't try at all...I've only seen the third episode where they have to work at a fast food joint and they purposely just cause trouble. The manager tells them not to do this certain thing and they make it a point to do it. It all just seems way too set up to me like...

Hey - welcome! You'll enjoy it here.

Box split anyone? :p :sign:

OUCH. I'm sorry for you Shuji. I do think that the dog is probably learning his lesson if he actually ingested more than a few scraps of cigar - yuck. If I were you I'd pretend that the dog died - hide him somewhere and tell your wife that the dog died from eating cigars because she left it...

Welcome Four Aces! Watch out, though - your cigar purchasing will increase 10-fold shortly after joining!

My girlfriend's parents just got back from a trip to Key West and brought me back a variety of 6 "Conch Republic" cigars for Christmas. Their price list seems a little on the spendy side so I'm hoping they aren't dog rockets, but I can't seem to find any reviews anywhere. Searching on here...

If I know anything, 3 in a row sends you to jail! Congrats Captain!

That really sucks. Look on the bright side, though - the problems are mostly on the outside of the relationship. While the external factors can always be trying as long as you guys have a strong relationship inside you should be able to make it through. In 4 years you've been through worse...

It wouldn't surprise me. CAO prices always seemed a little odd...

will get the lotto winnings out tomorrow Capt'n B!

December 27, 3:00 pm!

I'd be interested if I only had to throw extra sticks into my package already being sent, but I'm in group A and you are in B, so I'd have to send out 2 packages every lottery.

Count me in!

AZ doesn't update their lotto website until 7:00 or so in the morning. I assume alllotto pulls their info off of there.
