Shoot, I would like to make it down to meet ya Wilkey. I can't get away tonight. I hope you enjoy yourself and enjoy Portland. It is a great town.

Nubman, aka Bill Clinton, aka Fidel Castro, aka the anti-semetic douchebag on CA, is a profoundly good troll or is incredibly socially retarded. Of course, I could be wrong, and nubman might not be yet another incarnation, but everything smells way too familiar. If I am wrong, I promise to eat...

Yeah, wine and cigar isn't that great IMHO. And you are also right about Cigarlands. Most of them suck, and are mainly cigarette and head shops. However, there is one exception. The Cigarland in Shoreline (145th and Aurora - next to Central Market) has an excellent selection and good prices...

I don't know what area you are moving too, but: Rain City cigars is a good shop. It's in South Seattle, off of Corson. Joe and Dale, the owner and manager respectively, are the ones behind the initiative to allow smoking in cigar shops and lounges. Selection is good as are prices. They have a...

You may be on to something here.

The desire to belong to the group often leads zealous new guys to post often and post second hand information as if it was their own experience. Time usually weeds them out. The adage, listen (read) more, speak (post) less is as relevant today as it was when civilization began. Solo sells...

I could say that again... Sorry double post.

I found the one I smoked to flex between boring and revolting.

They are not the same thing. Thank goodness you did not receive "THE letter". As you are aware, the RFI letters from OFAC are very different.

The cigar he is holding in his hand doesn't look like an Petite Edmundo to me. Neither to the cigars in front of the roller. Maybe it is just my eyes.

That kind of thing happens quite a bit. An example was the slate of PLPC's cabs that had Partagas Shorts or Punch ribbons (I can't remember which exactly) that came out a few years ago.

Sorry if it was not good form to not continue to respond. I guess I am not really sure what there is to respond to. I am not going to mention the name of the person who made the initial statement and didn't see the need to stir whatever pot was unintentionally created by my initial post by...

Interesting... I am sitting here wondering who those people would be. But still, I am not so sure that given the status of the market today that another cigar made in Miami will be near as successful out of the gate as one tied to the Pepin name. It may take a few years. But at least Ernesto...

Unfortunately for Ernesto, I think he is the one who is not going to benefit from this change in events.

Edit: I didn't check the original post dates. Doh! :blush: I haven't noticed anything different on Padrons, and my understanding is that the Pepin increase will likely not hit the stores until mid march.

Well, I'm not naming names, but it was a prominent figure in the industry. I have learned through my experience that the cigar industry is very small. If something is said by industry people, it can come back to harm them or sour relationships in the future. I won't be a part of that. However...

It was a statement made in person. And no...

:whistling: If you knew who that quote was attributed too and why, you MIGHT understand.

Cigarbid... "Where cigars go to die" I never saw the point of ordering from them or CI.
