Back in 2010 - 14 there was a group from THIS BOARD, from Jersey/PA that herfed every Wednesday night at Dante's in Barrington, NJ. We where also old farts. Just not your old farts.

Found this link to an old series or articles that has some history of the cigar business that some of you may find interesting, like how the first eight pounds of cuban seed got smuggled out of Cuba by Juan Francisco Bermejo through the Honduran Embassy If you scroll down to 8/11/99 you will see mention of the Village Idiots I previously mentioned and the writer was so kind as to mention me "Cameroon" in his random selection of members handles.

David As I look around I notice there are plenty of old farts to go around. Welcome to the club. To be honest, I knew the VI people by their forum handle only and time and clouded memory have erased a great deal of that knowledge. The most popular brands of that time have been greatly overshadowed by all the new stuff. I wonder what all those old farts are smoking now.

Probably flavored Whit Owls.

Yes, I know what you are talking about. We used to have 4 to 12 guys show up every Wednesday evening. Great times, but over the years, most just faded away. Only a couple are still active on this forum. Sad.

Yes, I actually tried to smoke one of these in my younger days. What the heck was I thinking?

The side that is still allowed to have statues in public venues. Talking about tight sphincters, political correctness and historical engineering are two of the things that tighten mine. Well perhaps the old Village Idiots are all retired off to Florida or shuffling behind their walkers in some NYC suburb with only faint memories of those glory days in the early 90s when fifty guys sat in a smoke filled room and talked trash and bragged about finding the hard to get cigar that nobody else could find. Never the less, I shall await word from Mark Twain in the afterlife. Do you remember Mark? He said if there were no cigars in Heaven he absolutely refused to go. I have seen no reports of Mark Twain sightings so I assume he is up there smoking. Have a great day folks.
