CI having a "virtual CigarFest".  Only problem is that clicking on the links doesn't take you anywhere...
Was interested in looking at the three Southern Draw offerings....

Must've had the same IT people set it up that run the ticket purchasing every year. ;)

Today is Thursday, Oct. 15, the 289th day of 2020.
In 2001, Bethlehem Steel Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
At least their site has made a fine comeback as a casino.
Casino has changed hands already.  I believe it was opened as a Sands property but was sold to a Native American group and is now called Wind Creek for 1.3 Billion.  Guess having it under Native American ownership gives it a nice tax dodge.

I'm sure that's true. I never went there, but remember it as Sands. Didn't realize it had been sold.

Good morning, cigar talkers and those easily confused.  All greens this morning, so I'm seeing clearly.
But that means you didn't take time to stop for a breakfast burrito.
True. If the light had been red I may have whipped into the corner market. Cereal for breakfast instead, in case you were wondering.

Good morning fellas, high praise for the MF Fonseca from Halfwheel. I've had several cuban Fonsecas and I'm definitely intrigued

https://halfwheel.com/fonseca-belicosos/382494/
Good morning, Fish. I'm pretty sure they only have the name in common. I was unimpressed with the Dominican made Fonsecas. I'm intrigued by this one because AJF is part of it.
This is entirely Pepin and My Father cigars. I heard of the naming rights being bought. Now I'm curious to see how this one tastes.
I'm sorry, you're correct. I got confused.
Yes, I fully understand this is a new release and no ties from a tobacco standpoint to the Cuban line, just interested...sheesh
My communication skills are definitely lacking this morning so please understand that I was not being condescending. I just meant that the Quesada Fonsecas weren't at all in line with the flavors of the Cuban version. In my opinion, they sucked and this new Garcia blend can only be an improvement. I am also intrigued. Sheesh.
I see your sheesh and raise you 2 sheeshes!
I'll see that and raise you a GFY!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where did that come from?!?
