The B&M I was talking about is 130 miles one way but I didn't even bother mentioning that. It's not the point. The local **** discount cigarette shop that charges $7.50 for a nub 460 habano is 40 miles away.

With cigarbid I'm always standing in the walk in humidor of my favorite cigar shop and their prices can't be beaten. Now if I could just smell it when I log in! I just won 6 Cameroon nub 460s for $12 if that's not discount and cheap and good then it's just my noobness that doesn't know any better yet!!

I've learned tons since I've been here and laughed my ass off at the dry sarcastic humor that I thoroughly enjoy.

My wife has already asked if I could find a hobby that doesn't totally consume me, "I told her I'll try that someday" btw my other hobby is road racing.

Maybe, but I have seen hobbies turn into obsessions-even a couple of mine to some extent.

So you're from Fredericksburg, VA. I got 5 of them myself. I didn't expect to win them at $ 2- darn good price. I hope they are as good as the CT 460.

That's why I race, that's my over the top obsession. This is my fun hobby, this and golf but I never go anymore so it doesn't really count.

Nope mine were tubos, you sir just got another good deal. Cbid strikes again. I live in a tiny town called Lincoln, Ks.

I think they'll be good if not it's not like I just plunked down $7 apiece. I'll let you know how they are, most stuff I get here is plenty wet. I've got a kitchen sink sampler from the mothership that's been resting for a month now. I'm looking forward to ashing a few of those babies with a nice whiskey.

Mark Twain reputedly smoked 14 cigars a day and all were domestic--wouldn't smoke imports.

I had a 1969 Torino Cobra 428---thank god gas was under 40 cents a gallon back then.

Ford eh??? Ive got a few of those, theyre no 428 cobras but theyre still cobras. Well the race car thinks its a cobra. I swapped in the DOHC cobra motor and the cobra IRS. As for the other one its a 99 Cobra #2881 built out of 4040 coupes built that year.

Just once more, please. 😰

The 99 cobras had a power issue that was caused by poor quality control on the intake manifold casting. The runners were obstructed with casting flash and this cut power. Ford issued a recall and most if not all of the 99s have had "the fix" which consisted of new high flow mufflers, an ECU reflash and an extrude hone or acid dip for the lower intake manifold. The IRS half shafts can break when launched hard during drag race starts.

The problem with them is more of a weak unibody that takes hundreds of pounds of bracing to still suck. Manifold issues are the least of your problems.

Next.
