I just have to respond to legend because I'm never wrong. But he just pointed out how I do that. That would make him right. Make a new name and post it with that. Yeah. Yeah.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

As info legend duel users are not allowed. FWIW

Wingate, are you sure thats not you again??

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

This is awesome :tu

What makes is more awesome to me is that, in my mind, I hear it being read like a Budweiser "Real Men of Genius" ad :r

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

i have no idea what this means... ?

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

youre not alone

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

This brings to mind this qoute

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

What is thread about again? Not really sure. Can someone tell me what is going on. I would read it myself but 38 pages is alot of reading and I am not sure it is worth it.

Thank you for whoever can update me on this matter.

Worst. Thread. Ever.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

And this one

You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

No shortcuts, Tabb!!

You wade through the BS and chicanery just like the rest of us...


or you get nothing, sir!! :fu


*deep breath* Sorry... but this thread is an Escher-like Hellscape. I lost my cool.

This thread is way past it's expiry date.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

This is in the All Cigar Discussion but I thought it was a banter thread silly me.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

...and so did he. ^

Pot/kettle, etc.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

my :2 - and that's pretty much all i'm worth - and no offense intended, but you're starting to tread pretty close to that asshat picture we've seen pop up recently.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Legend, what happened to you? You had some brillian, well reasoned posts on the old board and have turned into the little boy who cries me, me, me in order to get attention over here. We migrated to avoid all of the old bs and it still follows. How about becoming a human being again and relating to people instead of being a stuck-up horse's putz? I am sure that folks would embrace the change.:tu

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Legend,

I'm sorry but I have to agree on this one and you know that I was a big fan of your posts and reviews in the past and find you to be informative and humorous. I do feel however, that you are losing that better part of yourself with your recent posts and comments. Maybe this is the hint to tone it down that should be listened to. I like the regular plain old easy going legend that used to post here and I know a lot of BOTLs did too.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

My apologies. I'll go back to being brilliant, promise.

Next post in this thread will be in may. (now who's doing the Chris Farley Stupid stupid) ((Blush))

That is interesting as I respect Taltos and his opinion but I have seen nothing but drivel and petty name calling. That having been said I believe everyone should be judged on there actions current not past.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Maybe we treat this like the Icehog3 vacation banter thread...just lock it til he comes back...and lose the key while he's gone:r

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Off to worky! Oh wait, this isn't the Masshole banter thread? :dance:

STATLER: Nope, they’re ALL bad!


STATLER: I wonder if there really is life on another planet.
WALDORF: Why do you care? You don’t have a life on this one?

WALDORF: What’s all the commotion about?
STATLER: Waldorf, the bunny ran away!
WALDORF: Well, you know what that makes him -
BOTH: Smarter than us!

Statler: Well, that was different.
Waldorf: Yep. Lousy...
Both: ...but different!

Statler: Wake up you old fool. You slept through the show.
Waldorf: Who's a fool? You watched it.

S: I like the steel Drums!

W: What?!?

S: THE PIGS' STEEL DRUMS!!!

W: I beleive it! They'll take anything that isn't bolted down!

I'm only on page 16 of this thread. I'll leave this here as a placeholder in case this gets locked before I finish. Thanks for pointing this out to me, Dave!

Who left the door open? I thought this one had died finally.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

That'd be me. I'm up to page 29 now... it's really getting good!

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

If your reading this entire mess you need a life. :D

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

looking at this is like looking at a bad accident. you really do not want to look but you have to.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Oh, I beg to differ. I just finished it and I can't tell you the number of "life lessons" that I think I just picked up :)

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Oh do tell!

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

OK.

Update: Due to business(good thing) I am canceling the tour to Don Pepin factory in May(bad thing). However, I will go sometime, it's just not feasible right now, have at least 2 national Clients trying my business out and need to make sure everything goes perfect for a while.

This Friday I did speak with don Pepin at the event at Zarka's. don Is a very nice soft spoken guy, no English, I did my best with the 4 years I took of Spanish and a translator. Don said while others may provide a slightly higher quality to the Smaller shops, It's not something done at his factory, he refuses even to produce 2nds. Anything that is not up to quality is cut up and used in short filler production.

So that's it for now, will have to check in with some of the other factories when i can.

no matter how you phrase it, it is fortunate you didn't meet a chaveta.

Re: stirring the pot local B&M vs big internet
 

Interesting. I'm not saying you're right or wrong. You've got a lot more experience at this than I have. But one thought comes to mind. Your conjecture, if I draw it out to it's logical conclusion, is that Rocky, Nestor, Nick, etc., keep two stocks of the same cigar; one for the big internet shops, and another, the superior cigar, for the B&M. Personally, I doubt that would last for very long without being "found out." There's too many well informed people in this hobby to keep something like that secret. I think the care, storage & aging scenario is far more plausible.
