i'm back... had a bit of a serious injury that took me out of comission for about a year or so. had a nasty injury to my leg while overseas and got a serious infection of the wound. i'm back and i want to apologize to all my botls for being out of touch for so long without a word -it was a...

well written and researched. may i add some criticism (constructive i hope): I felt that the demographic information was glossed over a bit. Also you framed the strategic issues (global warming, political issues) in a nice context but you sidestepped geopolitics with the cuba issue and...

I've become really fond of the davidoff millenium blend. It 's a really nice stick. And the 100th anni is excellent!

I've thorougly enjoyed the ESG. A really nice stick, pricey but nice.

Try out the factory press. I've had great enjoyment of that big boy. It's a long smoke and definately a full smoke, but i don't think it's quite a bold as a PSD4.

Ok, so let me play devils advocate for a second... Isn't this the essence of democracy though? If a majority of the people wants smoking banned shouldn't they be allowed to do so in a democratic society? Why should polygamy be banned but not smoking in public? Smoking affects others health and...

Hi there, i can probably make a trip to the city on sunday if wifey allows it. Billy owns hemingway on university ave in palo alto. A very nice store. fairly high prices until you know billy and you get the friends and family discounts... :)

Okay, The Jungle has spoken and all out it is. Tonight i'm looking at smoking one of my sacred 98 RyJ Churchills!

Got some folks visiting me from overseas. I like sticks, those guys are true connoisseurs when it comes to stogies. So this week has been a bit of an eyeopener for me, let me describe it: Monday: Meeting with my friend from tokyo (he is an trader working for the Tokyo stock exchange). He...

Just smile and laugh it off. I find that offends them even more... :)

i too use a combination of 65% and 70% beads. for my davidoff rosewood humi (gifted to me) i use the davidoff system which basically is the old flower sponge with cigar solution. Will likely convert this over to beads at 70% soon (i prefer long term storage at 70%).

this was a very nice review. good stuff!

i like the purple line. A good stick that is way too pricey!

Went to Reno, NV to visit a friend of mine. He knows about my stogie habit and had conviniently located a new shop in town for my perusal... so i visited hatuey cigars and i had a really good time. The owners (and workers at the shop) are from cuba and have their own plantation in Dominican...

92? I was travelling all over europe and boston building computers for large corporations. I was a couple of years into my chosen profession and i worked my butt off..

I prefer strong smokes as well. But i wasn't entirely thrilled about these bad boys. they where okay -but not amazing. I've had other padillas that i think where much, much better.

Very nice picture! Have fun and stay out of the south china sea typhoons. I got stuck in one about 20 years ago and it was no fun at all! :)

Well, the customer service reports has convinced me. I'm diving in as well! $200 in the hole! (two samplers and a couple of the la aurora 100 anos).

It's time for one of these threads again! I'm in charge of technology for a large software company. I specialize in storage and backup software. I hold a couple of patents in this field of technology. I've been doing this for about 20 years. to the HP storage guy, i worked on large parts of...
