Many congratulations both!! 🍾🎉

I've always heard very good things about the Epernay line! Haven't managed to get my hands on any but still hoping to at some point.

In my neck of the woods, a single 52 will certainly set you back close to $350!

When The D4 is "on", it's still right up there as one of the main jewels in Cuba's crown!

My age + my smoking rate (reasonable life expectancy) / inventory numbers = I'm probably set for life if I never buy another cigar ever again. That being said, there's more than enough in the world of NC that interests and satisfies me so either way I think I'll be contented enough.

No, me neither. I stand to be entirely corrected but my bet is on this being nothing more than a piece of sensationalist theatre attempting to garner attention for what's been a failing institution (in terms of viewership) for some time.

I'm looking forward to hearing how the dirty underwear Hoyo Churchills taste!

Legend has it that Mike Gatting still wakes up in the middle of most nights with that bewildered look on his face and muttering "But what? How? Nahhh....huh?"

I remember once hearing a commentator saying that Shane Warne could turn it square off a sheet of glass...I believed it!

Horrendous news!! Right up there with the greatest cricketers of all time. Certainly the greatest spinner there's ever been (often unplayable!) and not much argument, if any, against him being the greatest bowler of any type! Always very engaging and good to listen to in his subsequent media career too! RIP 🌹

Never should have sold our very soul to corporate! Never should have believed the dream we were sold. Still, such is the way of things now and I'm just an embittered old git, perhaps. Still, when it comes to merchandising, we're second to none!

Good to see them all touching down safely! They do look bloody good!!

Different animals, of course, but by and large I'd say BRC. This is largely based though on still smoking through 2 or 3 boxes of ULA '14's, many here will remember them well and also have a few of their own in rotation, I'm sure.

Mine have been errrr...."delayed"...bugger! 😞

I do tend to feel similarly about The SETI program, certainly. It would be lovely if we could find a way to live in harmony with each other before concerning ourselves with looking for anyone else! We can't even manage to leave other lifeforms on Earth alone and in peace!
