1. A newbie asked for a good maduro, and got a lot of good replies. I think of maduro vs. natural as I think of red wine vs. white wine. Cheap red wine is pretty good, but pretty good white wine is not cheap. Same for maduro. Maduro wrappers turn a lot of medium-quality filler into a passable smoke, but you got to put the good stuff inside a natural wrapper, or I just don't like it. JMNSFHO.

2. X found CA's 100-point cigar. Now find a 0 point cigar. Find one rated 50. No such animal. You could roll up your lawn clippings and get a 75. Why don't they use a 25-point scale so they can rate Rick's stash a 1. JK Rick!

LLT,You found the CA rated 100 point cigar. I only knew one existed. There's also one more but CA revamped their website and I can't find the Connoissuer section to look for it. BTW,I always knew you you had a NSFHO,LOL. X

What do you figure a frog or a wolf would rate in CA?

I'm enjoying a A.F. Royal Salute S.G. with a glass of Kendell Jackson Merlot. Just finished a lunch of Prime Rib and grilled shrimp.
Life is too short to drink white wine.
Homebrew
p.s. I also had almond rice pilaf. Will finish with a cup or two of CDM with chicory, Thanks to Sonny_LSU.

The reason God gave us white wine was so that we'd have something to do while the red is breathing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I gave you all some homework and food for thought...didn't I?

Sbeen boring here lately and now you've all something to talk about...CA's ratings that is...

ps...white wine sucks...or is it blows?

Or does it swallow?
Naw then it would be great.
