Well this is my first pic post so I hope it turned out. These are my friends smokes that he got in Dublin. I wanted to get some "professional" oppinions on these. If you can't make out the bands, I'll let you know what they are. I know the one with out the band on the bottom is a H. Upmann Cab. Selection. Hope you all like!

I believe these are mine. You need to tell your friend that he needs to send me MY smokes.

Mine mine all mine.

Those Diplomaticos are really underrated smokes. Partagas and Montecristo and Cohiba dominate discussions of Cuban cigars, but Diplomaticos are pretty damn good too.

Same with those Fonsecas. You will enjoy this lot.

Reminds me that I am going to Cuba in a few weeks...ha ha ha...I wonder if all those who bait me on the Misc. board will wish they'd had nicer words!

My advice, as always: let them sit for a few months to settle nicely. It is worth the wait, though the wait will be tortuous.

going to cuba instead of visiting some of out great midwest states, or new england or the washington monument, that shows me you are what they say is true, you are unamerican, a commie pinko bleeding heart liberal.

unless you are on a secret mission to kill castro.

Rick,

I live in the midwest (Michigan), my girl lives in New England (Massachussets), and I visit a friend in D.C. every summer for a week or so.

Still, somehow, I am all of those things you mention...ha ha...thus I go to Cuba. I will kill, not Castro, but the cigar supply on the island. Of that, I can assure you.

Hope you stay there!

why are you so rude?

DrMaddVibe,

I won't be staying there. Sorry. I am going to be a pain in your conservative ass for many years. Going there is most of the fun; remember, Cuba is in the Carribean. Beach. Warm ocean water. Lovely. I don't see the point in bragging that you are getting your Cubans from your computer desk or in frigid Canada. I prefer the beach when possible.

Rick, he's still mad because I called him Dr. Vibrator in another post. Alas, the fecundity of the insult. (I think he also hates me because I say things like 'fecundity of the insult,' but that's just a guess). I was trying to be funny, but he took it personally. There is no intonation in email or bbs posts, so irony or sarcasm is often lost.

I do tire of the rudeness, and it provokes me to be rude sometimes. I will try to be better than that.

John
