Campanas

Campanas (3/5)

  1. Spain you say and Barcelona at that. Well a couple of years ago went there with wife. Was my 2nd time in Barcelona. This time stayed at; Casa Camper about a block from the Ramblas great place to stay we love Casa Camper. They are the group that owns Camper shoes. Tel: 011 -34-933-426-280. Ok lets get to why Im replying; CIGARS! Well i have had great luck at; Gimeno, Ramblas 100. If you come off i'll mannered then you may not get the attention you'd like. Just remain humble. Ask if you can go to the basement big inventory. Remember I was there maybe 3 years ago so you never know things change. The other cigar shop that I visited was; L'Estanc De Laietana, Tabacs, 4 Via Laietana; Open M-F 9:00am - 1400, 16:00 - 19:30, 16:00 - 19:30 Sat; 10:00 am - 14:00. Tele; (34)93-310-1034. This place is great. Owner will sit down and have a smoke and a chat with if he is there. Great, fresh top of the line smokes. BBig humi, right temps. Good luck wish I was going, Kuma also cigars abound in many places. On the Rambla there is a Dept Store called ; El Corte Ingles it is located near the Ronda De Sant Pere. Just poked my head in at the cigars and my my my large humi at the right temps. As I said cigars abound all around. Spain is great, no dumb PC nonsense, a mans world when it comes enjoying a good cigar, a good drink and great food. Love Barcelona. Kuma
  2. not sure if this is true but the news in the west has been reporting that troops (army?) have been massing on the border of Hong Kong. If true that is a bad sign of things to come. They will hurt a lot of people before this situation is to the Gov.'s benefit.
  3. well in usa the public has grown to accept and even love thier auto. it has gotten to the point that rail, boat and flying has suffered at the hands of the auto market. problem now in the states especially in the older cities, northeast New York, west coast and middle of the country, Chicago, Michigan..the bridges are failing and the roads are in piss poor shape. These cities are almost broke and they do not have the cash to fix the infurstructer that is under thier control. For work I drive a Honda that is called "Green Technology" it has a electric motor and a gas motor. The el motor is powered by a 200 volt ion battery, while the gas motor is a 4 cylinder normal aspirated engine. When the auto is moving the gas motor charges the ion battery. Not a bad setup. At least I do not need a charging station. And until the states gets enough of those (charging stations) 100% el auto will have a hard time making inroads into the auto market. If the eletric car makers make it easy to charge your el auto at home then you have a real challenge. note. gasoline for cars in the states is very cheap now. some towns and cities $2.40 to $2.80 gallon!
  4. Have money, fast fingers and a good drink / smoke at your beckon call!
  5. as a long ago system writer (Vb, COBOL, Adv, COBOL) there is the saying; garbage > garbage < . I'm sure any problems the system encounters will be handled in professional manner . Your IT guys do a great job! Can't wait for the fire works to begin!
  6. nothing like a re-packaging of a old smoke to get the blood flowing. remember what Habanos took out of production to make this smoke. Only the corona had remained for the French market out of 4 total.
  7. could care less about starbucks or for that matter coffee in general. I'll make mine a double shot of espresso w / tablespoon of sugar, glass of sparkling water and a good CC (from FOH) with the espresso could not ask for more. Simple and basic is the way to go. later gators!
  8. now dys I just buy from FOH. Unless I'm in Europe or Japan and pick up some smokes there I find no reason to freeze any cigars. So nope, never ever. But I will go to Kuba soon (two hours) from states as the 767 / 737 flies. Right now would like to see more creature comforts in country. The use of credit / debit cards are a must for me. I don't like walking around with wads of money on my being.
  9. Well if it was good for Samson then it must be ok for Kraft. I heard the rest of the NFL owners each threw money into a hat and hired a camera crew to flim the room where Kraft would be in when he got his groove on. The NFL owners were tired of his team winning all of the time and knew they had to find a way to stop it. Boom oldest trick in the book and he got snagged.

  11. Palio used to be great for the money. Ever sine they changed ownership they are not as good. If you think you have a orginal cutter just check the side of the cutter were the Palio logo is. It used to be a horse rearing up, now it just says Palio and as I said I think the new ones are well below the orginals in quality.

  13. Blood sport. If their were no plastic helmts there would be no real pain, aka broken this or that, crashing of two, three... men 250 lbs or more and what a sound it makes! if you have ever been on the sidelines when this happens very thrilling. Aslo same reason people go and see NASCAR, the crashings! Let's not kid ourselves human enjoy the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! It is like what major Killgore said, "smells like victory" refering to naplam being drop on the enemy.
