  1. Never a charge back. If you indeed have a good relationship with your vendor they will try to work with you. That’s a lot easier if you’re buying from a B&M. If they won’t work with you then maybe it’s time to move on to a different vendor. I once had a box of Epi 2’s that were so tannic they made my face pucker. I tried 2 and they were amazingly consistent, both horrible. I put the box to the back of the rotation and tried them five years later at which point they were starting to smooth out. As they were not physically damaged, the thought never came to mind to take it up with the vendor.
  2. Condolences. This is a tough situation all around. In answer to your question, I have first and experience, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer around 2013 and posted a bit about my experience. https://www.fohcigars.com/forum/search/?&q=Cancer&author=Elvis&search_and_or=or In my case, the cancer could have been detected much earlier if I just would have had an annual physical/checkup with my doctor. My wife kept making appointments for me and I kept blowing them off because somehow I thought my work was "more important". So please everyone, get checked out yearly. As far as cigars go, I can't imagine they would mix with chemo. Everything tasted like tin and I lost all appetite. It was altogether an unpleasant experience that I would not look forward to repeating. In general, I don't think it's a good idea to smoke when convalescing and your body is trying to heal itself, but that's just my opinion. I can't imagine any U.S. doctor going on record as saying that any amount nicotine consumption is acceptable, those are just the times that we live in. Choosing what risks to accept are very personal decisions that define us. I made mine but they are certainly not for everyone. I fully expect that cancer will resurface in some form or another whether I continue to smoke or not. Every five years are so there seems to be generational advances in the treatment of cancers which gives me reason to be optimistic.
  3. Just about any cigar pairs well with Champagne. I haven’t had a a cigar yet that didn’t. My choice of cigar is largely whimsical. 🙂

  7. I'm still running a pair of Magnpelanar MG III"s that I picked up in the late 80's. They still surprise me. Then again, it doesn't take much to surprise me. Like the bill for the amp tubes every 5 years or so. Still, the speakers are just one component in the system. What the heck is the rest of the system supposed to look like to run $850k speakers? I picked out the Magnepans with my eyes closed. I'd love to see a FOH blind test to rate speakers!
