No respect. Einstein with a capital "E," will ya?! If you're going to insult someone, at least do it correctly. Sheesh...

You hiring, Skip?! 'cause I want a QC position! Anyway, it's been so cool to have been one of your customers since the very beginning...I still have a sealed thirty-five count box of EMH from your debut release...I wish I still had that very first sampler pack of yours too, but alas...anyway, looking forward to seeing bands on the CroMags!

As much as is feasible, it's way past time to emulate the fine wine industry. And now more than ever, cigar manufacturers need to realize that if they don't regulate themselves, the FDA will gladly do it for them. None of us want that...

Ah, 'tis good to hear...quite a different situation when one simply can't...unlike the aforementioned who simply won't...by the way, guys & gals, I realize it's not up to me to say how one should enjoy this hobby, pastime, or whatever one wants to call it...but this time of year hopefully you all will indulge me with some latitude for attitude...if not that, perhaps dodging an Apocalypse will permit one to pontificate just a little...anyway, Komodota, you don't have to ask me twice, email sent...LMK if received...

Sorry about the hyperbole and imagery there...the latter wasn't really aimed at you...I just know more than a few guys who have a penchant for denying themselves any pleasure from their "collections" because they're either a) aging 'em to dust, or b) waiting for the so-called special occasion...drives me nuts...so anyway, sorry to hear your personal situation isn't conducive to more personal enjoyment of the sticks that cross your path...vicarious enjoyment is certainly a close second...

Yeah dude, reward yourself...start smokin' and enjoyin' those dark beauties...as the Creator intended...and for what it's worth, that's my advice for everyone here in general...ask yourself this: if you were a fine cigar, would you appreciate being treated as if you were a suppository? I know I wouldn't...so resolve to quit sitting on your stogies...no more waiting for the "right" day to light 'em up...

I too missed the canoe on this particular release...I also thought the PDR BOTL was the best PDR blend to date...thanks for the contest, JD...

I've tried several Daytonas in the robusto vitola and they always tasted papery to my palate...

I'm always game for a chance to win a fiver...but packing without either cello or foam padding around the wheel? 

Sounds like trouble...similar to how I inevitably end up with several cracked wrappers every time I buy a box of T52s...usually nothing a good smear of pectin can't fix, but still...

Just enough to enable it to happen, obviously...a slide-top wooden presentation adds ~$5 to the cost of each box, or so I've been told...

While I will hunt down a tin to try, I can't help but think that I'll probably be sticking closer to Undercrowns for the money...

I was ready to pull the plastic trigger on these until I found out about the packaging...not very classy, in my opinion...
