OK, so what's up with the "VI" crap? I've seen three or four names pop up recently that have "VI" after the user name. Is someone playing another game? (Please accept my apologies if any of you "VI's" are real out there.)

Actually, Papayos are REAL cigars, CL. Although anybody who has smoked one wishes they weren't.

The VI is a cigar club started by some people who decided to start thier own BB and VIOLA! a new cigar club was formed, there is actually two BB's with this name and many people belong to both, between the two clubs I believe there are over 700+ members and about 15% of those are from all over the world... Poopayos are a looooonngg running joke and they are probably at one point the most talked about cigar on a lot of the major cigar BB's....We are a fun loving ,cigar loving group who come from all parts of life who do all sortds of jobs(postman,truck drivers,IS,IT,deans of schools,biz owners,CEO's ,Eng...ETC>>>>>>

OH, okay. So, is "VI" short for "voila" or "very important"? BTW, I'm well aware of what Papayos are although I've never had the pleasure of trying them. :) I get the catalogue and I think the last 19 out of 20 has begged people to take those damn smokes away. Poor guy can't give 'em away.

Papayos are our long running joke, but not the longest. Lars takes the cake. The difference is that no one smokes Papayo, but idiots out there pay big bucks for Lars and they are no better than Papayos - just dipped in perfume. We have actually bought Papayos because they are 10 bucks a box, so with an order, I have bought a box or two in the last few years. Occasionally when sending a gift or my end of a trade, I will slip a Papayo in as one of the extras.
