The statement that Fidel "will sell out to the highest bidder" is, forgive me, laughable. If Castro wanted to sellout, he could have sold out to the US decades ago, or to the Soviets. He never did. Why would he now?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Aug-20-02 AT 01:54 AM (CDT)]1.) Land: A resolution of the question of land seized after the revolution could have been affected decades ago. Instead, the US chose a policy of open hostility to the Cuban Revolution. This included support for terrorist attacks on Cuba...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jul-09-02 AT 11:58 PM (CDT)]Thank you very much for your help on bcp, PDS. I am now looking at Holt's Father's Day 2002 catalogue, and they list the Hemi Short Story at $103.75 for a box of twenty-five, plus shipping. Besides the fact that my brains lately seem to be...

I was somewhat delinquent in my previous post in failing to mention never having actually ordered from bestcigarprices. That's a little bit of an "oops," wouldn't you say? Has anyone ever thought of just suggesting that my long nose be kept out of these types of inquiries? Has anyone ever...

That's about as diplomatic a characterization as I've ever heard. Thanks.

Short answer, Dan: Remove.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jun-26-02 AT 02:25 AM (CDT)]Let's briefly deal with temperature first, because that's the easiest. Habanos SA recommends that the cigars it markets be stored, if my memory is correct, at from between 62-63 degrees Fahreheit and 67-68 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jun-22-02 AT 04:28 PM (CDT)]The short answer, JK, is no, you do not alter the relative humidity to allow for different temperatures. It should remain at sixty-five to seventy percent regardless of the temperature. For the long answer go to www.cigargroup.com and...

A 1st class review, and I'd say you got a pretty nice deal. The corona was a fine choice of size.

The above postings make good sense. On fairly rare occasions the cellophane is left on. Case in point: I still have a few RyJ Celestial Finos from MO that have been aged in cellophane since 1979. Until the flame is put to them, the cellophane should stay on, as at this point they are aging more...

Swell review on the Genuine robusto, rkt. There is also a quite favorable critique plus follow-ups of the Genuine corona at Cigar Weekly on the "Cigar Reviews" forum. Either the robusto or the corona might be just the ticket.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jun-12-02 AT 02:18 PM (CDT)]I'm going to have to disagree a bit with you on this one, rkt. A humidor that is junk can be a pain in the neck up until the time you determine it's junk. A functional, relatively inexpensive humidor is not that hard to come by. I would...
