Afternoon, all! Long time, no talk!

Mexico trip was fun. Enjoyed lots of cigars with my buddy from Canada. There were plenty of cigar shops shilling the fake Cubans for EXORBITANT prices. I poked into a couple shops merely to have a looky-loo. It's amazing how this guys try to hustle by selling crap at stupid prices. Of course, I politely declined their offers, having brought a hefty stash of my own. :)

Looks like the banter over at CI has now totally disappeared. Of course, that appears to have been a work in progress for some time, which was nearly complete with the advent of the FB plugin.

Has traffic over here picked up?

Hope all you guys have been well!  :D

Afternoon Shank, good to hear from you.  Thought maybe the cartels captured you in Mexico.

Great Cigar deals have pretty much crapped out, very little buying around here over the past 3 or 4 months. 

Traffick has continued to decline most days and some of that is probably due to the lack of cigar deals.

I sold my house and plan on moving to SC July or August.

Morning CarolinaDave and Mr. Lacrosse.
Why is he CarolinaDave, he lives in Texas?
Just helping with the transition.
Like Tony's job, he ain't there til he's there.
True. Anything can happen between now and then.

Edit: By the way, my background check is in progress so it'll be any day now.
So I shouldn't post any anti-UN screeds here for a couple weeks?
Why not? You think this site will show up in my background check? Nonsense.

Welcome back Shank.  Good to hear you had a good trip.  Always good to bring your own supply, and avoid the fake crap.  Most of those remaining at CI banter couldn't quite bring themselves to move over here for a number of reasons that we don't need to get into.

Nonsense?

Windows consumers woke up on Saturday to some good news: Microsoft says it has already patched a series of potentially catastrophic hacks, published on Good Friday by the hacker group known as the Shadow Brokers.

The hacks amounted to vulnerabilities in Microsoft software that let intruders take over machines running Windows software. The vulnerabilities had been discovered and used by the NSA, but the Shadow Brokers (a group widely believed to be a front for the Russian government) stole the NSA files, and has been publishing them in a series of blog posts.
