Good afternoon guys.

Hiya Chip.  I wanted to say thanks for giving me the heads-up on all the SPAMbots, time and again. Believe it or not, only a small percentage are getting through.  I have some safeguards in place and they have been denied access over 2000 times thus far.

I keep looking for new members and just keep seeing the Bastiges clogging things up, it's amazing the websites tied to those things.

Time to start thinking about tonight's cigar... thinking either a Cubao toro (old band, still have yet to try it since Eddie Ortega took it for himself) and a Fuente 8-5-8 Sungrown are the two I'm deciding between at the moment.  Thoughts on either?

858 Sunny!

I'd have to agree.  I'm sure both are fine but I'm just in the mood for a Fuente today.  May even smoke a shark tonight.  I doubt it though.   

DO IT! Sharks, god I fucking LOVE them.

Are sharks allowed to be consumed by three stars?

I don't smoke them, just collect them

It sure feels like that sometimes.

Too many boxes I 'don't want to smoke/open'...need to just man up, but I have this nagging collector side of me that comes out every once in a while

WTF did you buy them for if you are afraid to even open them man.

Good afternoon guys.

I'm with you,  Chip. I'm on my 3rd for today and will probably smoke 2 more.  I waited all winter for weather like this!

I am not sure about the nice weather since it's been hot as Hell all day and all week but it sure does help to unwind after a crazy day at work.

It's usually special smokes or ones where I go crazy and get 3+ boxes plus singles(Sharks, Tat Black CGs, GoF Serie Bs, etc).  I smoke down the singles and keep buying more, I'm weird...

How is that mowing going Mr. Chip?

No!

There is a reason you are my favorite Uncle Tony

My issue has more to do with time.  I'll smoke it if I've got it.  But I probably only average 1-2 smokes per week.  2014 has been the first year that I have purchased less cigars than I've smoked.  And maybe not even.

I would be hard to live with if that's all I could smoke in a week, I would be grumpy if all I could have was 2 per day.

I'm about one a day.  Sometimes just a small one in the afternoon or evening.  Sometimes multiple.  Sometimes none at all.  Shit happens, something else comes up, just can't always get one in.  I'm generally unwilling to stay up late and smoke since I'm up for the gym at 5am each morning.  Afternoon, Chip.

Looks like they are mostly coming from Russia.

Hey CG87, Are the Diesel maduro any good? I picked some up from the last jam.

Agreed, Dave.  If you're not gonna smoke them, you'll save the most money by not buying them in the first place.  I don't really understand the people that do this with whiskey or wine or whatever else, either.  I get that different people collect different things - no wrong way to go about it - just not for me.  Just don't expect me to give a shit about your collection if you're not willing to smoke anything at any particular time.

I like them, not sure if I like them more than the Habano(big fan of the d.X), but I don't turn them down for their price.
Might even smoke the Habano d.4, that's a good one too, just more bite.

That's where I am different from those.  I am more than willing to burn any stick in the humi, but I've been trying to knock out random singles and newer stuff constantly versus the ones I love that I get boxes of combined with not smoking enough.

Solution: smoke more, got it

Holy Shit Shaun, five star, esteemed status....I am humbled.  I guess I've got to go pick on Dalek...
