Not exactly. You can't directly compare the wrapper area (2-dimensional) to the volume of the filler (3-dimensional). For a direct comparison, look at a cross-section of the cigar, taking into account the thickness of the wrapper.

Yeah, I just don't want this guy to get harassed. I'd be extremely surprised if our newest troll is a successful professor.

Don't jump to conclusions. Kumar is a common last name.

The Centro Fino Cortez got 5 stars in the Summer 2008 issue of ECCJ. I bought one based on that rave review, but I haven't got around to smoking it yet.

Yup, same experience here. The new website is obnoxious and tacky.

Awesome news! I asked them about the DPG lines at the Grand Re-Opening, and they said they were going to try to get them in. I'll have to head out there this week.

Not really. They certainly didn't have to rewrite the operating system; most of the code simply needed to be recompiled for the Intel architecture. I'd wager that very few of the current OS X bugs are related to the architecture transition. That's not to say there aren't any; I had to deal...

There really isn't a hardware difference these days between Macs and PCs. For the most part, they use the same commodity components. I used to work for a place that had one of the biggest installations of Mac desktops. However, our supercomputers (including several of the world's fastest) all...
