Ok...this info came out late 2003...a few years prior to me starting the enjoyment of premium cigars. Was talking to the B&M the other day, and he made it sound like it was a relatively recent transaction. Funny I'm just finding out about it now! What else is being held from me?! Is the embargo over?! :r

Yep that's real old news. Lew's kids didn't really want any part of the business from what I was told.

Sad to say Lorena Bobbitt is dead (car accident). She was driving down the highway and some dick cut her off.

I think I remember you hearing about that at the B+M. It did sound like it was recent.

Gas prices topped $1.00 per gallon - this is insane!!

Roffles.
Now that's funny. I even told my girlfriend and I think she enjoyed it even more than I did. Neither one of us could believe we never heard it. It's such an obvious joke.

Not yet. But if you sent Lew your $100 deposit, you will get one of the first boxes of "legal" Cuban cigars :ss
