  1. Got back from SoCal 10 yesterday. Tried a couple of exceptional cigars while I was down there, and then some pretty good stuff. Highlights:

    60's Don Alfredo petit corona

    Quintero Churchill (non-cello)

    a pre-embargo clear-Havana perfecto (turned out good, unlike most clear-havanas)

    80s Partagas 898 unvarnished (missed a group buy on these, which I now regret)

    1998 Punch Churchill which also turned out to be surprisingly good

  2. Last night: A 1998 Trinidad Fundadore (I haven't had a 98 Fundie in a while, and they are fucking good), and a custom rolled cuban (pretty good at best).

    Tonight: Going to a BBQ. If it's not too hot to enjoy a cigar, I'll have a 1992 Punch Corona cabinet selection. Otherwise a 2001 Partagas Seleccion Privada. Knowing me, I'll end up smoking both.

    JP#s, I dunno if you read this thread, but you going to the SoCal Herf this weekend?

  3. I wonder what material was the ring made of. AFAIK silver, gold and other noble metals aren't magnetic, even stainless steel shouldn't be much attracted by the magnet. Definitely she needs to get better rings. I hope you don't need a prosthesis after such power exhibition ;D

    Niobium? Titanium?

  4. AFAIK, Dunhill-branded pipe tobacco is still manufactured & sold. Certain lines in certain packages have been discontinued (I believe bulk 965 was at some point), and the factories have changed a few times, but I'm pretty sure Dunhill is still on the shelves.

  5. Some of my friends are huge VSG fans, I actually don't particularly enjoy them. This particular Wizard was one of the better ones I've had though. I only occasionally buy them because the local indian smokeshop sells them at a good price. But frankly, most of the enjoyable domestic cigars are too expensive for what they are.

  6. RE: pics

    Unless there was a significant amount of drugs involved (like gallons of booze)

    there is no way in hell the same person built both parts of the amplifier.

    That or mikhail has multiple personalities.

    Could that be the real secret here - that Mikahil actually didn't build the "good" SP stuff? And that's why he can't repair/make anything new?
