Sweet it's on right now.

 

[vstrommark]

got it set to be recorded. Thanks!

This is a great program. They spend a lot of time following the Fuente's products, especially the Opus X. There's a lot on cigarettes, too. It's one of the more informative hours of tobacco you'll ever spend in you life!

 

[smokeyandthebandit05]

They just did the Fuente factory and it was pretty cool. I wanna go to the DR and maybe take a tour some day

 

[Boss Hogg]

Hey thanks for the heads up. :tu

I have shown this to all my friends, Its my favorite modern marvels. It also convinced me to never smoke cigarettes unless they are 100% all natural.
Everyone needs to watch it!

I found a video of the part where they went through the Fuente factory once, but I've not been able to find it again. It may have been deleted.

[lenguamor]

Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm a huge nerd-tv fan, so I tivo all the Modern Marvels. It's in my queue. :ss

 

[a.dickens]

I'm glad I just checked this thread. I caught it just in time for the start.

As a self-professed nerd, I love picking up random bits of information from shows like Modern Marvels.

 

[P Da Masta]

worth watching. They do a decent job showing both sides. I DVR'd it when it came on a few months ago.

 

[lightning9191]

I started watching it at 7:15 EST....I didn't know what exactly they put in a cigarette until now....and I am glad to say I've never smoked something half tobacco and half floor sweepings/stems. I didn't know they put ammonia in there to make the nicotine more absorbable. I wonder if cigarette smokers knew all of this if they would keep smoking

 

[tym2relax]

Got to see the show.

Cigarettes - even worse that I thought
Cigars - makes me want to find an Opus X - right away!

Very interesting show, got me kind of interested in smoking a pipe, and really got me wanting to smoke a cigar. Amazing the stuff they put into cigarettes.
