Reddit has so many really dumb posts--but if you use the search feature you can find what you are looking for--and ignore the rest.

Re: First Job

I had a very bizarre first "real" job. A local law firm hired me for the summer (I was 16) to "clean up the files in the basement".

The reason they had to hire a "kid" to do this is that the...

Re: New cigars?

On NCs, you may find better prices with sales on CigarPage (if you have not tried them).

The CCs are going to be tough for a while--it looks like Covid hit them hard.

Re: Famous Smoke Shop website down for days now

Speculation on other sites is that they have been hit with a ransomware attack--just a rumor at this point.

Re: Is La Riqueza done?

It looks like Pete really wants to imitate Habanos--eliminate great smokes from regular production.... :-(

Re: Your first box purchase?

El Rico Habanos back in 2004.

I _still_ like them after all these years--but they need a few years to mellow out properly.

Re: Camacho

Camacho is a shadow of its former self--those old corojos were _so_ good.

The Barrel Aged are the best of the current bunch imho--but not in the same league as the old corojos.

My consuegras are _really_ old at this point (ten years +) and they are all over the place, from excellent to terrible and everywhere in between (sorta a normal curve distribution).
