That's the first spam PM I've ever gotten from this board. That's a pretty good record in intertube-land. It will probably end up causing more good* than harm - with all the dormant people it gets to check out the board again. * Depending entirely on your definition of good. :0

Tonights episode was good again - I honestly didn't care who won, as it was smack-talker vs. smack-talker. I much preferred the first two weeks, where I had some level of empathy for all the fighters involved in the fights - whereas neither of these two impressed me much in terms of their...

Not to put words in your mouth, but I agree with you that Leebo is a big jerk and his threads are annoying confrontational claptrap. :sign: Seriously, I often don't care for those threads, but if he weren't saying some of these things, then we'd all be worse off as a rule - IMO...

I think second chances are warranted for most everything. The physical violence implications go too far, but I wouldn't post my opinion if that were it. The wife and daughter stuff just goes well beyond "most everything" so far as to make this discussion feel pointless. IMO, this infraction...

I think it can be. The aged cigars I've bought have been superior as a rule. I do think that MRN's descriptions sometimes are over the top (great reference book - but his reviews are hit and miss for me). I'm really not sure on how long different sticks need to rest - as I have no direct...

Rod: Not sure if you have any issue with that kind of image if it is linked as opposed to being embedded inline, but if so - note that I pointed out the image problem in post #371 and I can't edit my post and remove it due to the thread being locked. NA: Go look fast before Rod cleans it up...

You still in Virginia? Not to thread-jack, but if you happen to be in northern-ish VA, do you know of any good firing ranges in the area? Anyone else on the thread have any info? (I know where the ranges are according to the phone book - but am looking to save some time if anyone knows one...

Wow. Hell-of-a-thread. Three items I wanted to respond to quickly: Number 1: Stevehawk, you make a good point. Many folks are losing it a bit (me included, as my recent ranting posts will attest to). Hopefully, we'll all calm down and get back to discussing the hobby that brought us here...

That is a fair question. Yes - I will start jumping in.

Just to be clear - I didn't care who knew it on the board (lot's of people know my full name, phone #, and address - which is fine) - I just didn't want it posted in threads. From a privacy/security perspective, it is the permanent searchable record that is desirable to avoid. I figured you'd...

Purchased and tightened... :D - Oak

My name has never been in my profile. You learned it from the newbie trade we did. Again, I keep my name private as a matter of course, and the examples I gave were just that: examples to answer your question. I couldn't care less if my co-workers saw my posts, as all they'd do is give me...

I have seen the licking thing (always from older gentlemen), but always as a preface to smoking. I have had it explained to me as: "it keeps the flavor in" and "if the stick is a little dry - this lets it burn better". Never seen a full-on deep throat (in this context - :laugh: ), or...

No need... I am now holding your ass up as the new bottom of the a$$hole totem pole... :laugh: Isn't this the point where the homo-erotic jokes start flying? That is the customary way to end these threads... no? :sign:

I thought I set that straight in my last post when I said I was wrong and you were right on that. If not, I'll try this: I overstated your involvement in several events completely in my first post. My apologies. I agree with this point. I am definitely the pot calling the kettle black right...

CC: She thinks I'm joking with that reference. Did you not think I was joking? Even with the references to a murder and an army? Did that really need a bunch of emoticons around it to be clearly an attempt at humor? Why would you use that as an attack point? Why does everything have to be...

CC: "Pathetic"? Do you really see no good points in my post? I miss this place when it was a little nicer and I actually do come here because it is the nicest cigard forum, and I think you go overboard on the level of aggression. Do people deserve it? Possibly or even probably - but do they...

Ever notice that "jerry mcquire" letters are always typed out in the unforgiving wee hours of the morning? Typically after a bender (for me, that means it is a day that ends with a "y"). A few quick prefaces: 1) I don't care if we all get along. 2) Everything I write here will come off...

I typically do not, though I am trying to get into the habit. If reminded by the wife, I happily buckle up, I just usually don't remember on my own. Oddly, I got a ticket for not wearing one a month or so ago - and my insurance was raised as a result (which I did not even realize was...

Both of these are solid choices and pricing is pretty decent. My key advice is to make sure you trust the vendor (or they were references by someone you really trust who knows cubans or aged cubans), particularly when buying anything that has any age at all. The Upmann #2 is one of my...
