Welcome, benja. Two main things to remember here: 1) Losing a bid is a sign of weakness. 2) Watch out for commies. That's pretty much it. Enjoy your stay!

Hey Palama, I almost went to HI, it looks sensational but I couldn't find a place that would let us smoke. Even outside- lots of condos are smoke-free zones. Is it like Ca where you can't smoke on beaches? I should find the link for the "jungle cottage" that asks guests to refrain from eating meat. They did allow smoking tho. Am I wrong? Or is paradise ruined?

I can’t really answer your question about this but here’s a couple of quick to ask yourself before you bid:

1. Do you like Connecticut Broadleaf?
2. Do you enjoy smoking Churchill size cigars?
3. If you smoke one and don’t like it, how many more chances are you gonna give it?

If yes to the first two and “2 or 3 times” to the third then *MAYBE* go for it.

Ultimately it all comes down to personal tastes and preferences as well as fiscal responsibility.

Palama, you are my lifeline. That fiscal responsibility bit drug me back to reality. Thanks buddy.

Churchills aren't our favorites and we already have a 20bundle of these in Robusto that we haven't cracked open yet. I think I paid 1.50 per stick. Probably overpaid. I'm sure someone will tell me.

Yah, harder and harder to find smoking spots, let alone cigar-friendly places. I believe most parks and beaches are smoke-free. There are 4 bars that I know of that allow cigar smoking but other than that, not too many other places. Heck, at this one condo across the street from where I used to work, you can’t even smoke on the sidewalks! You’d have to cross the street and smoke on another property.

When we left CA for Texas 15 years ago it was starting like that. Heck, even Mexico is getting in on it. And don't start me on the change from 50 cigars per person to 25 allowance coming through customs down there. Started vacationing elsewhere when they pulled that change. Two+ week vacation- 50 cigars won't cut it. And buying down there is out of the question. Horrible fakes and way too spendy.

Hope you didn't pay $ 1.50 for those Ichi Mad churchills. The few I have tried have not even been good yard gars. Cigars are selling like toilet paper, buying now will probably not be for a good price.
