Brrrrr!  It's getting cold out there.  Or maybe it's just that it's Tuesday. Join in this discussion 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 some eggnog and welcome aboard!

Not impressed with the deal joecigar put up but love the photo of Barry, Mike and Jeff.  Good night, all.

Tony, I was writing up about my KofC cigar clubs new man cave/cigar lounge, and the flip took place, so I couldn't post it and lost it.  It's not fancy but it's like a man cave ... someplace out of the cold, but with a nice new small TV with cable.

Nice talking with you, Tony.  Wanted to give you a little company while you was waiting for the flip.
