Btw, I thought Gronk had a great super bowl..........his blocking was off the charts..........doesn’t get enough praise for that imo.

didn't actually shed any tears, but I kind sobbed gently until I fell asleep at nap time earlier....Anxious

and I agree, his blocking was great....it always was, his greatness wasn't just his tightend play, but if he wasn't making a play with the ball, he was blocking so someone else could

Ya, he just mauled and smashed Ram defenders that whole game, and then makes the most important catch, which most TEs would not have made,
I do hope he stays retired......smaht to go out on top.......while he has at least a chance of not being a cripple when he’s 50.

I agree...retiring before he loses the ability to walk on his own is definitely the smart choice

I hope he keeps his dumbass out of the WWF and goes the acting route - getting body slammed even on spring loaded mat would suck for him - BTW there is an outside chance you see him sneak back for the stretch run. They're saying the Jared Cook deal to the Taints isnt a done deal so there is still chance there but he's mainly a pass catcher - I'd like to see them bring Bennett back and draft a couple...

There's your answer....try to remove enough cigars so you can close the lid properly and your humidity issues will probably clear right up....Not talking dumbass.....and why would I want to lick your pants? sounds like you have some sick fantasies....freak


SMDH - *squirel* - sticks weren't in there long enough for the humidor to have any effect on them and the thing was near empty when it was in there... plus the cover is always closed properly even when it's packed... thanks for the effort though...

Nice to see a newish poster who brought a coat.

Gurkhas have had a reputation for blowing up since way back when I first started smoking them

They even got their own 500 banter thread:
http://www.cigarbid.com/...oding-Gurkha-500-thread


Historical context... Gurkhas been exploding for long, long time http://www.cigarbid.com/...56861/Exploding-Wrappers

Smoked a lot of Gurkhas - still haven't had one explode. I'm convinced someone at CI put loads in them several years ago as payback for forum problems.

here we go again, which was it....so full it's too difficult to figure out which cigars to return to c-bid, or near empty when they were in there, or so packed you can barely keep the lid closed...make up your mindNot talking

OK fellas ya think his skin is thick enough yet?

My advice after reading the rest of your post Rasoalo,whatever the **** your name is,is smoke better cigars and get that cigar oasis out of the 100 count.Beads,beads,beads……...and a bigger humidor,cooler or tub.

You really can't follow more than one thought at a time - I can see why your so pigeon holed on one thing - I said both and I explained if you can't follow I personally don't give a **** - here's the best solution to this back n forth - pour yourself a scotch something Islay if you have a dickk and smoke whatever you like- toss up a toast and flip me the bird... I'll do the same...

Finally some sage advice from you - I actually took up the advice I received from I think it was KoTC and grabbed some Sobremesa's on a FF auction - got a pack of 10 short torps for $42 - decent price?

10 short torps for that is a good deal. I’ll echo KotC on the beads vs Oasis. As is the case with many others, I’ve found keeping my humidity between 62 and 67% works best.

Good price these days, now that FF only goes down to the lowest reset of $42 and change.
I was lucky enough to snag some back when the reset was dropping to $37ish.
Even snagged 3 fivers at 18.50/ea recently..............got lucky.
I’m with Whistle, in that, while good now, these will be tremendous with another 12+ months rest.

I will say this, the short churchill is, by leaps and bounds, the best of the Sobremesa vitolas.

It was so messed up the word know just blew up, split and fell off. Now it just reads "I smoke cigars and .... stuff". I think it was Gurkha made.

Now the only shirt I wear all the time says "Lets undouche Cigars" whatever that means. Confused

DAMN!!!! I had to read all through this mess just to see if someone finally got through to poor raso. WHistlebritches gave you the proper advice. WAY too many cigars for a small humidor and as well the humidity at 70% using a cigar oasis in a small humidor is asking for trouble.

NO gentleman calls his cigars sticks!!!

AS well, lower the humidity to between 65-67, you will have better luck. Smoke better cigars as well, Gurkhas are notoriously overpriced, overhyped and tend to explode, no matter how they are treated. By overpriced, I actually mean anything over 1 cent!!!

AND, yes, get some proper silica gel beads, pay for the overpriced cigar beads or get the proper silica gel cat litter beads, some knee high stockings to put them in and get a cooler with a tight lid. Check all around the lid with a thin sheet of paper by trying to pull the paper out after closing it into the seam edge, all around the lid, add some empty Spanish cedar boxes to get better air circulation and you will have much better luck.

I'm in a decent mood because I'm keeping our granddaughter for a couple of days during her spring break and we are scouting for turkeys and she's just 9, but already a "crack shot" with my Parker Concorde Crossbow with a 4-dot MR scope.

Yeah the Gurks are what they are - I prob get them once or twice a year if I see a low ball price - my sticks (im no gent) usually don't last long in the box - I'm starting to get the message about the gurks since I don't have a problem with the others in there...

I'll also take the advice and drop the humidity...

Happy hunting...

Forget the "reposido coo", try one of these instead!:

* Can F by Olivias
* Cheef Cold Arow by Rom 201
* Rockee Patul Decad
* Row Muh Craft Crow Magon
* A.G. Firnindeez D-Cell Unlimited

The D-Cell is large though, it's the Gordon size. You might prefer the C-Cell (Touro size), the AA-Cell (Corrona size) or the AAA-Cell (Pitit Corrona size).

Thats what I heard. Someone said to many of da womens and DrafterX had moved to the Gas Powered kickstart toys so this was the companies ploy to revert them back since the fossil fuels was a limited commodity. They also offered up a free bottle of Purple Dragon Lube with each purchase so as to avoid Friction Burn lawsuits. I also heard that Drafter filed a complaint ticket because they did not give out a free mouth guard. Said that his teeth just vibrated loose and fell out and now he cant eat the steak.

This whole time all the guys just thought da womens and Drafter was getting into smoking cigars and that Drafter's teeth just fell out naturally but someone spilled the beans on Wikileaks. whip

Now they had to also offer up in the instructions in big bold letters, "Not Intended for Fellatio" but, da smart people are worried that some of da womens and people like Drafter won't know what that word means. Anxious
