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.

Which department are you in? I'm a grad student in the math department.

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.

There are three different brands that use the name Cohiba: 1) The original Cuban brand 2) A non-Cuban brand owned by General Cigar, which stole the name of the popular Cuban cigar and currently owns the Cohiba trademark in the US. 3) A brand of cigars sold (mostly) in the Dominican Republic...

Am I the only one here who doesn't want my wife to start smoking cigars? I like the fact that when my friends and I head out to the local cigar bar, our wives go shopping or to a chick flick.

I just noticed that gtbag.com has a $35 minimum order. Here's a site with only a $10 minimum, and 1000 2"x8" 2 mil plastic bags are $10.27+shipping: http://www.royalbag.com/2_mil_clear_zip_lock_bags.asp

Yeah, I bought 100 from him a while ago. However, these are much cheaper (1000 for $16+shipping), and they're 2x8 instead of 2x10.

PM sent. Thanks!

I'm in for 250.

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...

I was trying to avoid a Mac vs. PC debate, not start one.

This isn't a Mac vs. PC thing. I don't know the details of this incident, but when it comes to web servers being hacked or defaced, it's often a specific application that's to blame, not the OS. I'm a fan of Macs (I'm typing this from a MacBook), but IMHO Macs really aren't competitive...

I agree. We've got enough people against us as it is. Antagonizing non-smokers only helps the anti-tobacco folks get the support for even more restrictive legislation. Talk to your neighbors and try find a compromise. Tell them a little bit about what you smoke and why you enjoy it, and...

A lot of hacking now uses automated scripts to search for vulnerabilities. Vulnerable computers might be looted of valuable data (credit card numbers, etc.), or used to send spam email or host "phishing" sites, or to perpetrate denial-of-service attacks, etc. There's a lot of money at stake...

Yeah, it was great. I picked up the LFD sample bag (Coronado, Premium Line, Double Ligero) plus a free Ligero, as well as a couple of Oliva Serie V Lanceros. The new place looks great. I won a bottle of pricey Italian wine in the raffle, and it turned out to be my wife's favorite wine...
