Pictures have now been inserted up to 1983. The others require to be re-taken due to the riduculously small writing on the labels which has caused my otherwise steady hand to appear to have blurred the images

It appears we have an aristocratic bottle in the line-up

Are you jumping up and down like a child again?

All of the pre-match pictures have now been posted, unless Corky delivers some of the F85 to be pasted into the TN thread

Where is KillerB? Is he meant to have returned?

Post by **DRT** » 23:52 Mon 27 Aug 2007

As today has been a Bank Holiday in the UK, which was tagged onto the end of his planned holiday, I suspect he will return tomorrow.

Oh, yep - back. Hi.

Post by **DRT** » 00:26 Tue 28 Aug 2007

Thank the Lord!!!!!

I've almost run out of ammo - the porno-drug-marketing freaks have had me pinned in for a week. I need dry socks and a new service revolver

My outbox just shrank. (Conky joke imminent: everyone duck.)

A few days ago I declared myself inter alia "Cigar Man". This week I plan to purchase 5 cigars for us to burn in the evening of 1 Sep 07.

At present I am focused on buying 5 Cohiba's - probably the 2nd or 3rd size depending on availability.

Now is the time for anyone to object or request an alternative.

Please, wider rather than longer, given a trade-off. Wider smokes burn cooler, which I prefer.

Dont be distracted from the enlightened path of 'Cabanas'. Mr Manilow would expect no less. and I have Patagas cigars for Julian if he gets funny.

Did you know cigars mature? They say around 7 years in a humidifier. Mines in a non-humidifying box. And so will yours be. But they'll be nice, all the same.

Post by **DRT** » 00:51 Tue 28 Aug 2007

I know marginally less about cigars than I do about neuclear physics. Please advise, should I be buying "what is your best cigar for smoking now?" or should I phone Conky when I am in the shop and tell him what they are offering?

Assuming the physics you meant is nuclear, the same is true of me.

Partagas D? Montecristo #2?

Conky · Post by **Conky** » 01:00 Tue 28 Aug 2007

Have an amount your prepared to spend. You want a packet of 5. You want the larger 'ring' size, rather than the length. You want his best deal possible. You explain its your very poorly fathers 70th, and your worried about him, and want it to be a Big Night. He's always loved Cohiba's.

Shouldn't be a dry eye in the house, and if he's got a heart, he'll upgrade.
Same logic as avoiding Hotel Bills,etc.

Post by **DRT** » 01:03 Tue 28 Aug 2007

Unfortunately, no, it's neuclear physics I don't know about. It's a very exclusive subject and probably not something we have yet released to the Colonies.

Cigars - girth over length - noted

A tedious salesman, perhaps one with medical training, might advise a plan we wouldn’t want.

Agreed. I am 42. I will enter the shop and declare that I want a [5] cigar[s] that will ensure I do not reach 60. That should do it.

These are hard times when the best advice is to take Conky’s advice† , but this one time it might be the least bad course.

† The advice won’t be wrong. It will be verbose, ungrammatical, and not quite to the point. Perhaps entertaining.

Agreed. The advice of a nutter is often better than no advice at all
