Cigar Federation

[Wharf Rat]

I agree that the schtick is reminiscent of Lew’s old line of BS. I used to enjoy reading his catalogs! But, if you read Lew’s copy for a while, you could tell what he thought was really good and what was just being sold. I haven’t been able to pick that up with Cigarfed. Maybe I’ve gotten denser in my old age?

I miss Lews His critique of cigars following the boom was valid and I respected him quite a bit. But new age.

You are absolutely correct in regard to Lew. Met the man once, back in 1989-90 school year. What a unique individual.

I also haven't been able to pick up where the schtick ends and the seriousness begins on CF.
