So in regards to the subject matter, I have smoked them on several occasions to find them quite a pleasant, albeit, not all that memorable of a smoke.

So there you have it.

to the product has nothing whatsoever to do with a person's right to their opinion. Personally, I find the Partagas
line to be among the best of a gigantic glut of store-clogging cigars that I find to be far too similar for their own
good. But I do not find them interesting enough to buy in stores, or onsale on the internet either. I am sorry
that this somehow implicates you, but that's still how I feel. I buy them all the time for the troops, but they
are not for me, and again, especially not boxes of "aged ones" I haven't any firsthand experience with them lately
though.

By the same token, I am not going to call them turds, either, but outside of telling someone "I think you are dead wrong",
I am not feeling your case on this one.

Brad - what part of "let's keep this on topic" don't you understand?
