I found myself in Cork, Ireland. A group of American tourist came in. One of the Americans said, in a loud voice " I hear you Irish think your great drinkers" I bet $500 no one in here can drink 20 Guinness in 30 minutes. The bar went silent, but the American noticed that one of the Irishmen was heading out the front door. No one took up the bet. 40 minutes later the Irishman that walked out earlier came walking back in. The Irishman says, " hey Yank is your bet still on"? "Sure says the American, 20 Guinness in 30 minutes for $500 bucks". "Grand" replied the Irishmen. "Pour the beers and start the clock" It was very close but he finished with 2 seconds to spare. "Ok" Yank pay up, said the Irishman. 'I'm happy to pay" said the American. "But tell me when I first offered the wager, I saw you leave. Where did you go? "Well sir", replied the Irishman. $500 is a lot of money for a man like me, so I went to the pub across the street first to see if I could do it🍺🍻🍺
Smoke a green cigar and drink a Guinness. Happy St. Patrick Day

The last time I celebrated St Paddy's day I got thrown out a portapotty in the middle of taking a dump for cutting in line. Glad I did it because otherwise I would have crapped my pants; instead I got to shıt on the bouncer.

St. Paddy's day or not, you can keep those candela wrappers ... those're as bad as the red and white dyed pistachio nuts we used to get from Iran ... both total crap

St. Patty's day is WORTHLESS nowadays...

Beers are WAY too expensive

Bars don't know how to make good corned beef and cabbage anymore.

Cameras everywhere you go...no more pranks or stealing stuff...

DUI - NAZI QUE BALL COPS ROADBLOCKS-checkpoints galore

TODAY'S SAINT PATTY's DAYS ARE NOTHING
LIKE THE ones from 1970's-1985...

Yessir Beer

One of THE most forgetful cigars I've EVER smoked was an Illusione candela lancero ( and I love a good Illusione
) not only did I find it to be an AIRBALL....it came undone as I smoked through it until I pitched it!!!!

I don't necessarily care for my beer to be green either...fog

I hate green beer what's the point? So you can crap green in the morning? Nothing they dye green is worth drinking anyway.

I really liked the Illusione 888 and 88 candela, but there's no need for green beer!
Disappointing to here of an unraveling airball from such a good maker too.

That is disappointing Paul... but the wrappers on those things are incredibly fragile so not entirely surprising...

I have sold a lot of candelas to people who had never tried them and the response was overwhelmingly favorable, though there were certainly individuals who didn't care for them...

i was so confident in the filthy hooligan and the 858 candela, I would usually tell hesitant customers that i would knock a couple bucks off any other stick if they tried it and didn't like it...

In America today there are more Beer drinking victims than at any other time in all of our great history. People who either through intoxication or large beer bellies cannot reach their beer. Cold hearted conservatives claim drinking less or exercise is the answer. However we all know how these poor individuals cannot help themselves and need our support. To aid these unfortunate ones, we have Beer dispensaries that are manned 24/7 to help dispense such liquids to these victims. So that they can go forward living otherwise productive lives. Will you please send you support to drinkallotofbeer.com!!!

Stopped by a local B&M today to pick up an illusione candela lancero to smoke on St. Patty day. In the entire walkin humidor they only had two candela's. ARturo Fuente and LaFlor. So since candelas tend to be on the mild side I picked the LaFlor. Only smoke candela's once a year, definitely not a go to wrapper but I made it a tradition over the years🍀

the LFD's are good.
I smoke a Fuente once in a while, decent, especially the Flor Fina, but the LFD's are better...called double claro maybe?

Well, I had corned beef and Irish beer until reaching full capacity but afterward, having learned long ago that Candela wrappers are total crap, I avoided them and stayed with a tried and true Brazilia Arapiraca wrapped Toraño Exodus Gold ...
