Wow Tog you sure know your cigars! Wanted to do something for April Fools! I thought about posting pics of my macaroni and spaghetti plants.

Re: Tobacco sprouted in One day!
 

TT post if you do. I have a few tobacco plants coming and would like to try to make a cigar. I'm off them for a while now but will take them up again in late summer.......Don't ask it relates to hunting and fishing seasons.

I was away to Thailand on 31/3 and just got back 2/4 nite, so I just got to see your thread and got caught by you! :ha:

Haha.. If an idiot smoke like 6 big cgrs a day, he ought to be able to spot something, rite..?

Olivia Serie G ( African Cameroon Wrapper-Nicaraguan Filler-Nicaraguan Binder) are ok with their Cameroon wrappers but a tab mild for me. If you like your Cameroons, try the Perdomo Reserve Cameroon. Best size is their R (Robusto-5x54). Exclaimed to be the world's best Cameroon by the Robb Report.
'Nuff said! :ha:

:ha: Heck of a mixture. That's a lot of 1/3's and 1/2's :ha:

Can't have too many 1/2's or 1/3'rds. Twice last week while watching basketball my wife said "There's 2 quarters. Right?" Of course I just said "Yes dear."

A little bit, but smoked a lot of arrowana - never exhaled though. :discocrazed: Don't tell Tanee, she's been chasing me around the back yard.
