Re: I have a Macanudo question
I think it’s unfair to treat a newcomer so shabbily. Trying to con him into thinking his cigars aren’t worth much is just rotten. You should all be ashamed!

Re: TSA confiscates humidor
I used to work with a guy who brought in 1 big machine made Churchill every day. He’d step outside, take a few puffs and put it back in its tube. Lasted all day and the smell made me want to retch!
