Rocky Patel Signature Toro (6.0"x52) 10 CIGARS (65% savings!) - $34.99

Actually enjoy these.  Although I haven't had one in a while and RP is wildly inconsistent.

I've never tried 'em. Probably because it's mild(er) than I normally choose. As far as RP's go, I would agree with your assessment of inconsistency. Use to enjoy the Decade and The Edge Corojo. They never seemed to reignite the interest after the last couple purchases. I did, however, like the Nicaraguan Torpedo that was a freebie from a Famous order.

The RP Signatures I've smoked are mild but very flavorful and make a great first cigar of the day.

Well, boys.  Two late work days this week mean I get to check out early.  Gonna go to lunch then head home and deliver the Harley to the shop for some TLC.  Catch y'all later.

Say what???  You take a 2nd mortgage on the house to pay for that TLC??

Barry/bearb answered my PM from a few days ago and says he will be at CFest for the whole weekend and is looking forward to seeing the banter folk.  I asked him if he was avoiding the banter(s) because of anything anyone had said.  He said, "No", he's not easily offended, it's just that life has gotten in the way of his bantering.  He even had forgotten the web address for this banter.  He really is looking forward to seeing guys and mentioned 3 ways of texting that he said he will be using to stay in touch. He asked that I find out who will be at CFest and for which days.
So, please post and can you PM me as to what days you'll be at CFest and what day your ticket is for? I'll PM him.  I don't use nor have even heard of the text formats he mentioned (one is Text Plus) that he will be using. Remember he is from Ontario, Canada and is the mayor of CigarFest.  I just gave him my phone number and e-mail address.

Most of the guys on here have the Friday ticket.  As has become customary, we will be grilling afterwards.  I think I have Barry's email so I'll try to send him a note.

An NYC monster roach just went through here... If I had a saddle I would have ridden it to Penn Station.

How big was that roach?  If it could carry Tony on its back, that's one helluva coachroach.  Whoa Nelly!

What's the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Most guys prefer her swallow to be be laden.

Knuckle dragger.

Just holding down the curve.

Taking one for the team.

Which is better than taking one from the team.

Tony knows all about that....as does Yellowstar in his fishing igloo.

I just wanted a DrawPoker but got talked into this sampler for $20 more.
I thought I love the Montecristo White and the AVO and GrayCliff are smokable cigars, the others make for handouts or yardgars. They send me this POS! So return the cigars for full credit and keep the DrawPoker as a gift. I'm cool with that. Now I need to watch my CC to make sure they didn't SLAM me into the the Cigar of the Month Club, sheesh.

On the bright side, CI took back the box of Hudson Bay I got with an I'm sorry and thank you. Class act IMO.

So, Oy ... not clear ... you did already return the cigars and they will give you a full refund and let you keep the Poker for free?  Please walk me through this ... I don't have a draw poker and would like to have one in my "toolbox".  Free is good!

I just made the best frigging popcorn, I have ever eaten.  First, I popped the corn in hot vegetable oil in a large lidded pot.  Then I melted down a stick of margarine and about a third of a stick of butter, then stirred in a few teaspoons of crushed garlic, blended it in and let it cook until light brown.  Poured it over and mixed it in with the popcorn (about two pots worth in a large clean grocery store brown paper bag.
I can barely taste the garlic, it just has this buttery sweet taste to it, I can't quite explain.  It's ruining my plans to make crabcakes and corn on the cob ... I'm too full to care.
