He looks like an Actor, can't remember the Movies that he's been in. He's one of those "Oh that guy" Actors, where most don't know their names. Craaaaap.

Banter has it's own sub-forum and threads will occasionally get off-topic thru banter. But when a topical thread goes sideways, many others get frustrated and stop reading and participating. It's important to at least try and show some good judgement as to when and how much banter is appropriate.

No, just another thread where the civilized, refined, and experienced gentlemen who enjoy thin RGs berate the uncivilized, billy goats who enjoy thicker cigars. Just my calm, objective :2

My first sticks bought at B&M were acids. Gave away the second ones I bought once I realized how much more I like other sticks and how much I disliked them.

I bought 4 Kuda Kuda's on my first B&M trip earlier this month. I smoked one at a friend's house and it was ok. I got a few so I could have some when I went to his house. But I realized the same thing, I like other non-flavored cigars better. Haven't smoked one since and have one left that will probably be his the next time I go over.

As for big rings, I picked up a CAO Flathead V770 Big Block Cigar the other day since my friend bought one. We haven't smoked it yet but decided to wait until we're cooking something in the backyard that will take a while so we have time to sit and try it out.

Just toss some ribs or a brisket in the smoker. Have plenty of time them. Good eats after as well!

Thanks for the welcome. Not saying I won't smoke an acid ever again but I'm definitely leaning toward the non-flavored cigars. Having a CAO Italia Novella from a sampler I bought a couple weeks ago at the moment and it is pretty nice!

I have a CAO Maduro Belicoso (L'anniversaire ) from the sampler I got so maybe I'll give that one a try tomorrow. I'm nearly done with the Italia at the moment and really liked it. If I didn't have a ton of cigars on their way to me I may have gotten some more of them. Went a little crazy these past few days now that I have a wineador with some room so I think I'm putting the breaks on until I load it up with everything I've ordered and see how much room I have left.

BTW, the CAO sampler I got was the CAO Champions II sampler with the travel humidor. The Italia is the first one I've smoked out of them.

The LA maduro, LX2, and MX2 are all awesome! Great selection you got there!
