No. My neighbors, the Kennedy's , make too much noise. So I am vacationing in Az right now.

Chillin,

I quite enjoyed your story myself.

I am guilty of calling the storekeeper at the B&M a moron in my reply, but the customer's always right - Yes?

<begin box="">(begin soap box) While I agree that more "common" courtesy in the word would be a good thing, the words "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing..." keep ringing in my ears. To me, there is nothing worse than listening to some self-important blowhard "tell you like it is" and simply expect that you will [SIZE=-1]acquiesce to their point of view upon hearing their pearls of wisdom or simply nod your head in agreement without a reply. I cry foul there. I was always taught to "mean what you say and say what you mean - and if you don't know what you're talking about, don't say anything." [/SIZE]JMHO (/end soap box)</begin>

That being said, taking the higher road was a good thing and simply walking away probably saved you a couple points on the blood-pressure richter scale.

P.S. The Cuban seeds were "tainted"? What's a taint? (he, he) [/SIZE]

Nice story , kinda reminds me of a guy that I work with who swears that Cuban Cohibas haven't been made for over 30 years .

[God]

By all means... If you don't have a rumor to spread feel free to make one up...

Oh no, you mean I can't buy Cubans anymore?

[QUOTE=stormin]When I first began investigating NC's I went to a B&M and asked the fella there what he would recommend. I told him I liked all Cubans and was looking for something, while not necessarily the same, something generally accepted as being well received by those who enjoy the Cuban flavor. He told me he never liked Cubans, they are too strong and tried to sell me some Macanudos. F#$%ing moron.

I heard the same thing too, and believed it until I smoked my first Cohiba two weeks ago. What an experience.

Never thought I'd ever look at a cigar butt and think "Parting is such sweet sorrow...."

It was the real deal, a Cohiba Edicion Limitada 2003 Double Corona. $16 of pure bliss (and yes, I looked over the box before I bought.)
