I'm cutting grass today.  The lawn mower was broke, so I'm a little behind.  My drinking buddy stopped by on Monday, and after putting some beer and whiskey away, I mentioned the lawn mower.  He said, "get out your tools and we'll take it apart...!"  So what the hell.  I couldn't even drive, so he took me to the auto parts store and we got a new spark plug and some carb cleaner.  Damn if he didn't get that thing running again.  The gas wasn't getting from the carb to the spark plug.  With the filter off, he put his finger over a hole (I don't even know which one) and said, "there you go, it squirted gas into the cylinder."  So, drunk as hell, we got it going..

I find that drunk is often the most effective state to be in when fixing motor vehicles.

Just not so good in remembering HOW you did it.

I took notes.  If I had known how easy it was to take the bowl off of the carb, I would have done it weeks ago.

I was watching the Famous Auction Site the other day, and this guy bid on 3 single cigars out of a lot of 5 singles.  I was wondering, why didn't the guy just bid on all 5....?  I didn't want just 2 cigars, and I didn't want to screw up the guys 3 cigar bid, so I passed.  I kept thinking, "is this some sort of strategy to come back in at the last minute and grab all 5 cigars..?

some folks think in terms of singles, not five packs...  on cbid I find i have trouble winning a 5 pack of cigars for $10 dollars, but i can buy 7 to 10 singles for $2 apiece.

You give them too much credit.  Strategy rarely comes into play with the bid sites.

Also, some folks are idiots. Can't discount that when you're on a bid site.

Hey Dave, Est. 1844's at CI Big Bills clearance for $39/box

Also, Tres Reynas corona box for $59

I saw those yesterday when I was looking around. In fact, I think the 1844s have been there for a bit. Thought about reloading on the 50s, since those are a great quick smoke, but went with the FAs instead. Those Tres Reynas are tempting, though. Perhaps if I get a bonus next month. Lol

The Tres Reynas are pretty much put to bed.  I was searching a bit yesterday and not available in many other places.

I feel like they've been up on the clearance page for a couple months, though. Cause I remember considering them awhile ago.

They have, only 2 sizes left. They made a 2012 (white label) and 2013 (black label) and I think that was it for the project

Only the corona is left, gordo is sold out.  By picture this is black label.  Only other place I've seen then is Smoke Inn with belicoso and robusto available (picture is white label), and all at retail price.

I'm tellin' ya, very nice cigar for under $3 EA. I think Tony smoked one?

I did and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Just the coronas left.  do they need rest or are they good ott?

The one I smoked was gifted by Fish and I have no idea how long he'd had it before he gave it to me.  I'm pretty sure I smoked it within a couple of weeks.

Thanks, done deal.  in the mail.  I'll smoke one or 2 ott and place the rest somewhere for some down time.  thanks for the help!!

I would say you have struck upon the correct answer there.

That is what Nacho is saying about his nuts, "they were cute little fellows".
