HAPPY FRIDAY!!!  Hopefully you'll get to start the weekend early.  Otherwise, perhaps some cigar deals will help ya get through to tomorrow.  Share what you know in this forum and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way.  Be warned, post on this site and you will catch hell from members and trolls alike.  Therefore, don't proceed if you have thin skin.  If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour your favorite beverage and welcome aboard!

They really were.  I only tasted the ones filled with cannoli cream but they were just like the ones babbo used to make.

Our herf has ended. RP Cuban blend torp maduro (red band)was good, prefer the natural though. HdT toro grande first half was good, then it went meh.  Some good b-ball.  Close games were good to watch, when Harvard was ahead of UNC, there was a guy standing looking up at the TV in disbelief, he looked so ill, I thought he was going to pass out ... but was greatly relieved when UNC pulled it out.  I suppose that would have ruined a lot of brackets except in a small area of Mass.

Nice, Tony.  It wasn't often mine came to visit, but she made Polish donuts ... basically fried dough rolled in sugar, but they were special, because Grandma made them.
Heading home, want to beat the precip creeping into the area which is supposed to turn to heavy wet Snow between 4-10am.  See youse!
