New to our inventory is 4 sticks from 601! After a few change ups the 601 La Bomba continues to impress. With hints of Sweet Cocoa and Campfire tones. The perfect blend to get your night started off with a BANG!

short and interesting meeting with FEMA, State of Florida Highway Engineer, Levy County Manager, Inglis and Yankeetown Supers, Fire Chief, and Duke Energy official. my idea of Assessment Team apparently offended the locals with the way they've always done things. was called a POS NYer who ought to go back north, and a few other unkind words. I refused to get into a pissing match and calmly as I could explained my plan. apparently they cater to the 'rich' people first, and let the 'poor' wait. I did have Duke Energy, the FD, and the State on my side, but looks like I will ride a desk inputting updates and answering phones as needed.
So who has last say in this clusterf*ck?
Truth is, that is part of the problem - nobody knows so everybody thinks they are.  They contract some of us out to FEMA and loan us to the State DOT's for hurricanes and I have done plenty of them, it is a giant clusterfuck Brownie!    I refuse to do it anymore after the Rita fiasco.
the local State Residencies and Duke Energy use assessment teams. the Township officials, commissioners, supers, claim autonomy, that they know what's best for their 'peoples'. it will be very interesting tomorrow morning. I just have to remember to keep my mouth shut and smile a lot.
fuckin' hicks.
If I were you, and pack up you and whatever ladies you need to keep you company and head out of there, let them fend for themselves.
If I were you I would quit volunteering and limit my activities to banging old women, kayaking and smoking cigars.
We'll have to work up a fairly different list for CarolinaDave...
Already have the list made and no volunteering on it I can tell you that.  Volunteering will get your ass in an infantry battalion carrying ammo with nothing to put it in.
Don't imagine any meetings on your list, either.
Next planned meeting after I retire will be a meeting with my maker.
That's planned?
Well fuk yeah it is planned just does not have a date attached, best I can figure it is planned for everybody - including you!
Yeah, I was gonna delete that post once I noticed I was late to the conversation, AGAIN.
That's OK, we're used to it.

We have had relocation lesson 101 now it is time for meeting 101 - Nobody who arranged the meeting gives a flying fuk about what you think, did, say or anything else they simply need to put a check in the box for solicited input from others.
So like the banter, then.  Got it.
Exactly!

I don't remember seeing any mention of the La Bomba series being reformulate (not that that means it didn't happen).  Maybe offering La Bomba is new to Egars?  Those "change ups" could be the new-er vitolas as mentioned.  No telling.

Good that we have young folks (defined as under 50 around here) to remember for us.

Got a new La Bomba Claro which is a different formulation  (similar to the Smoke Inn exclusive Bunker Buster), there is the Sake Bomb and Warhead III, but couldn't find a reformulation of the regular La Bomba.  Just old and feeble I guess.

It's a Habano Claro from Nicaragua.
Medium to Rosado complexion basing it on the Bunker Busters I've had.

Can't say I fully understand as it does have Claro in the name, but I understood that term to be equivalent to Candela.  Then again I always thought a robusto was 5.0 x 50 and a toro 6.0 x 50.
