Default OT: My small Cuban friends...

My wife just got back from Cuba and brought a few (75) stowaways with her.
Found a couple of nice cedar accommodations that still had some vacancy to help them mellow over the winter months.
Latest additions are:
Montecristo #2
Montecristo #4
Romeo y Julietta Cedros Deluxe #2
Now my 3 humidors are quite well stocked (the one not pictured is where I keep the cheap stuff for guests that want to "try one for a laugh"). Looking forward to some warm weather!

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Fuchin embargo. I always smoke those cigars while in Panama, but don't take the risk to smuggle them home. Stupid policy for us. Ironically, cuban cigars are extremely popular in DC.

I toured the factory in Havana. Romeo and Juliet, MonteCristo and Cohiba are all made in the same place. Best outer wrap leaves are for Cohiba.

Yeah I think I will put my feet up while watching my 40" LCD smoking a nice Monte Christo from my Humador, while keeping another eye on my Porsche in the driveway ..

Gee I wonder how Porsche drivers got such a snobish reputation ?

hahahahaha.

Last night I witnessed some truly atrocious and aggressive driving by some kid in an acura. He apparently thought he was racing me, but I ignored him. I managed to pull next to him at a stoplight and I told him, with a smile on my face, the following : "Hey kid, you really drive like an a$$hole, and coming from a Porsche driver, that is really saying something." The look on his face was priceless, but he really deserved it . . . and he knew it I think because he was almost hit by two other cars due to his stunts.

This thread inspired me to buy myself a birthday present:

There's two groups of exotic car owners: bankers and stock brokers engaged in a dick-swinging competition with their colleagues over who has the best sat-nav or in-dash cappucino maker, and then there are people who drive like bats out of hell (all trademarks and copyrights belong to Meatloaf and Sony recordings ).

We are clearly the latter

I would gladly meet you at the track. But what's wrong with enjoying a scotch and smoking a stogie at the end of the day?

Now, that reminds me, I need to clean out the in-dash espresso maker of my club coupe before the evening commute of 1.5 miles.
