Littlefish, could you kindly remove your MUWATs?  They're blocking the jam.

I like the BFs, little pricey tho when Papas Fritas are so close

As long as you're willing to order them, I think there is no comparison with the budget Cubans.  The Por Larranaga Panetelas is $2.45-2.50/ea and is easily better than the PF, imo.

Need to try these and make an order some day. Still have yet to hit an ISOKW site.

They are illegal, don't make me tell on you!

All sorts of options at all sorts of price ranges, just depends on what you're in the mood for on any given day. Sometimes I really enjoy that heavy chocolate/pepper profile from the PFs.  Other times I want something a bit milder.  Some days I just want peanut butter.  Afternoon, Will.

Also - agreed on the Bait Fish.  Not a fan.

Pint #3 on the day has started.  Tell on me all you want.  It's a bottle and brew day.  All laws suspended.

Afternoon, all. Not a lot of time today for banter, but noticed a message and though the site had a spammer. lol

Anyway, thanks for the headsup on the OOO deal. No brainer there. 'Still processing' but hopeful.

They seem to be quick with adjusting it to out of stock if they're indeed sold out (re: automated inventory).  So good luck, haha.  Afternoon, Steve.

Hey ya, Joe. Know what you mean, but just so happened to get email confirmation and tracking number. Things are looking good. 

Now that's service!

Lot of schitty CCs for the $$ too in the cheaper options, but there are some I really like.  RASCC, QdOCC, PLPCs are all nice for their price...Party Shorts, etc

Speaking of Fritas... message me if they make the Jam. haha. 2 left. =(

Will do.  There's been a lot of talk of PFs (and the LP9s) going flat after some age but I can't say I've experienced that personally.  Got some LP9s wtih almost three years on them and some PFs from when they first released, and while both have seen some of the typical effects of aging (smoother profile, reduction in strength), they're both still tasting fantastic.  I take that 'rumor' that they go bad to just be another example of people spreading crap they read on the internet and speaking as if it's truth or from personal experience. 

So if they come up, buy a hundred of them so you don't have to worry about running low any time soon, haha.

Ha! Thanks, Joe. I have debated getting a box, but even with cpns, the Jam is pretty much the best price. And that way I can just rotate a couple into the mix. If I smoke 'em too much, I probably pull an Oy and not like 'em any more... Don't want that.

No doubt, Joe.  Finished the last of the "Berliner Wiesse."  I guess it's technically in that style, but maybe not--it's just an odd beer.  The Monkey Chased the Weasel,  sour mulberry ale.  Now for some 077xx.  I've got my latest IPA chilling.  Aiming for a large mango/berry hop flavor, less bright citrus/pine than usual.

I like the sound of that last one Will!

Well, you could just give a guy a heads up when you put an order together and add a box for me. You're getting shit like every other week... Sheesh.

They all sound good!  I tend to like the heavy pine flavors from the DIPAs, mostly because I find them to go a bit better with cigars than anything overly fruity.  I guess that's how I'd describe the flavor, anyway.  Others here always call the IPAs I like "dank".

Besides, it cracks me up when people say that about a cigar that hasn't been around for two years...how the hell do they know what aging will do...?

Now I guess you'll PM him your fee for your silence?

All the time I have for now. BBL if I have any minutes left today. If not, until the next time, Banter Bros. =P

Some things are just intuitive.  Ya just know!

Indeed! Or when they say something has aged well... after three months.
