Where does MJ stand politically?

I hate when rich people tell me their favorite smokes because I usually can't afford to try them and super high end shit is never sold as singles.

Only $469 for a box of 25!Swaye said:I hate when rich people tell me their favorite smokes because I usually can't afford to try them and super high end shit is never sold as singles.

@UW_Doog_Bot @Swaye have you guysm had a pre embargo Cuban? I had know idea they were still available and could be stored for that long.

I have not. They can be stored almost forever if done correctly, but I've talked to some long time cigar guys who claim that beyond a certain point they start losing flavor. There is a sweet spot to old issue cigars (I'm not rich enough to know those details) beyond which they go downhill.YellowSnow said:@UW_Doog_Bot @Swaye have you guysm had a pre embargo Cuban?

As a fellow pour I haven’t either. I don’t think I’ve ever smoked a cigar north of $20.Swaye said:

I have done that. Had some nice 30 buck stuff on rare occasions. But there is shit that goes for 2 grand + a box. 100 bucks a pop. Some of the vintage stuff goes MUCH higher at auction. MJ can buy that shit. Not me.YellowSnow said:

I've smoked some expensive cigars but yeah, probably the best I've smoked were cubans that I used to get illegally across the border but with the exchange rate what it was they weren't even that pricey compared to what I'll spend on something less good today.Swaye said:

Generally, it's like wine, I can definitely tell a $100 bottle from a $20 bottle but I don't have that kind of splash cash to fuck about with except when I'm really being an asshole.
I also prefer finding deals on nice things like the cubans above anyways. Marginal value economics guysm. -
Figuratively speaking, or do you mean actual cigar? I mean, $20 is $20.YellowSnow said:

My only experience with cigars that left an impression was the '82 ASU game. UW was 8-1, ASU was 9-0 and one win away from their first-ever Rose Bowl. The game was at Sun Devil Stadium but wasn't on TV, if you can believe it. My dad and I listened to Bob Rondeau on KOMO in my dad's den. I was so nervous and jacked up that my hands were pouring with sweat and I distinctly remember my dad smoking a cigar during the game and the pungent smell of tobacco was nice.
Huskies won 17-13.

You’ve cost us many more. Even ‘82 and ‘83 didn’t make up for ‘81.RaceBannon said:Imagine back to back losses to the Cuogs costing the Rose Bowl in the internet era
