Prominentes (4/5)

  1. I am also a 5-6 point guy. Excellent (superb, sublime… etc) Great Good (above average) Average (my average could range to what experiences I have had lately) Below average Bad (dog rocket etc.)
  2. … I got that beat! Hamlet and I agreed on Zoom that we don’t give a shit about what each other thinks!!! 🤪
  3. Hand a guru 5 cigars. There is a good possibility that he gets none of them right, unless the catalog is so thin that only two exist. How many PCs were made in the 90’s? A lot! There was a lot of depth of field. There were a lot more opportunities to smoke good cigars back then. MHO. Cigars were a better value and it did not sting if you got a dud. And you did get duds back then too. You just tossed it and could open a new box! I think cigars were better. There was more fun in the exploring the many cigars that there were to try. I believed in flavor profiles back then, but I figure that I was convinced based on belief alone. I think Cuba has effed up the Cuban cigar. I felt in love with the Cuban cigar back then. Now I just hate Tabacuba! I really know very little about Cuban cigars today. The cost of knowing is simply too high. The education is not worth the mediocre smoking time and the cost for the experience. Without wanting to sound like a pig about it. I would take any of my $3 PCs from that era over a newly minted $50 cigar from today. I thought great cigars were everywhere. I no longer believe that, but maybe I just did not know better. In an argument against my own beliefs, I like 70’s music and think music today just sucks! Maybe it’s just about enjoying the new experiences of being younger. MHO.
  4. My cigars know better than to be plugged. I teach them about low humidity early in life!
  5. Numerical scores where the median does not represent an average is a marketing centric biased system meant to mislead. Dog rocket is a shit cigar. If one were to rate that cigar at 75…a person outside the community may say that 75 was above average…making it a potential choice. Like many things in the cigar world. This custom makes no sense!
  6. When speaking to countrymen regarding Cuban cigars vs. others I refer to the others as domestic cigars, meaning what is available domestically. I am getting less and less concerned over who get offended. One cannot even keep one’s opinion to one’s self without offending someone.
  7. This is strange! Out of the blue last week I was talking to a couple of younger guys about getting something they wanted (they work for me at my project). Resurrected that old OJ joke. “What two things does OJ have that every man wants?” They looked at me a little strange… “The Heisman trophy and a dead ex-wife…” Whose OJ one replied? My assistant, she’s 52, starts laughing as she walks by me and says …. "Oh Raaaay! … or a white Bronco and a get outta jail free card!" 🤔
  8. Panamaras are known for some big hits in depreciation. I think a used one is a good choice. I drove a Taycan for a short while and disliked almost everything except the looks. What was great for me, is if I was working without an office, I could sit in it all day with the AC on and not think twice about it!🐷 The damn door pillar was so close to the seat I could hardly get my fat ass out of the car. The dislike was instant. I did not have it long enough to learn to like it. My 2 cts
  9. … show them a ‘coyote’ concert bracelet and an old set of tennies, ask them which way to the US and you can do anything you want… That holds for the US too, by the way!🤪
  10. Are the cigars acclimated? Then why wait for some bloke's opinion when you can form one yourself? There are reasons not to open a box of cigars. I thought about giving you a few of mine but instead I will leave you this. Today someone else is deciding to open many cigars MRN might have thought not to open yet. Who are you keeping those cigars for anyway?
  11. …. Not easily influenced myself. If I don’t have the time to smoke a cigar, why would I watch some other bloke smoke one? I enjoy video reviewing cigars but don’t have the time for it. It’s done for my enjoyment and to amuse others. Not to influence them. I find the term and concept of influencer as revolting. Me, I turn tv commercials off. Some people get on their computers and watch them intentionally. Life wasted.
  12. Whichever’s easiest to cut down the middle and share with another person who enjoys thin ring cigars! Generous offer though.🐷
  13. Every cigar made in Cuba is hit or miss! Nothing new here. As a Lanceros fan, sometimes they are a bit too mild for me (the miss). Medium, with plenty of character is what makes them a hit for me.
  14. … the climate crisis!!! Nuff said! At 17 I owned a ‘68 SS Chevelle, 396 cu in., about 400 hp, 4 speed Muncie M22 manual trans. Trans meant something far different from today. No TV on the dash. Not distracted driving, unless Susie was my copilot… She asked to drive it once. She could not push the clutch pedal to the floor. The Lord likely saved both our lives that day. A stop sign on a hill. It separated the cows from the bulls. Dating apps., texted breakups, AI…. Give me back my Chevelle.
  15. Might I remind the esteemed man from Queensland. The term fruit, is considered derogatory to some…🤪
