I think we have similar taste!

I am totally loving my Nespresso machine.

Never seen it rain like this in Central WA. Reminds me of all my years in Seattle. Hope it clears up for some golf tomorrow.
One of those crazy Acid cigars

I've tried so many cigars and do enjoy a nice Ashton or Davidoff, but my daily choice is a simple cheap Qurom, toro, shade grown.

They are $3 and honestly, after trying so many, I keep coming back to these.

For once, a cheap easy option works for me, so I am sticking with it.

Go get one, come back here and share your thoughts.
I think they are an incredible value and very good.

Love the Padron
Played golf early before the game. Tatuaje Red. Playing the most consistent golf of my life of late. Don't want to put the clubs away. Shot 75 in strong winds
Ugly win for the Hawks but an important win!

Usually try to smoke em. A friend gifted me a whole box and was so excited I didn't have the heart to tell him. They were fake Cohibas and were really bad. Could not smoke them they were so bad. Ended up in the trash but never told him.

Don't smoke it. Many fakes have been known to be filled with: banana leaves, tobacco scraps, hair, string, or whatever else they can conceal to stuff into the bunch. It is not worth taking a chance. I belong to a big Cuban cigar forum and have heard all the horror stories regarding fakes.

Now these beautiful ladies in the boxes are the real deal! Yum.

Agree I didn't have the heart to tell them. Just said thank you very much for such a nice thoughtful gesture. Coincidently I had received two "Cubans" from 2 different people this weekend.

Though I have tried a few, I am leaning toward just dumping them, more often than not they have been so awful. Actually coming direct from Cuba, I was just given one from a priest that took a trip for religious purposes...(1 of the few reasons USA is allowed to travel there at the moment.)

What could I possibly say but thank you.

Nice stick those Ramon are:Cheers:

I really love the Octoberfest Samual Adams. The run is fairly short, so enjoy one while you can.
