Cigars & Music
Okay... it's really just about cigars.
I know there are some RRers who enjoy a fine cigar once in a while.
I couldn't help but notice that the magazine Cigar Aficionado has their yearly "Top 25" issue out on the stands. There were several old familiars, such as Partagas, Motercristo, Fuente Fuente, and Cohibas; but there were also several "bargain" cigars.
I've tried to track these down, here, in tax-happy Toronto tobaccanist shops, but cannot.
Anyone know of these and, if so, where I could order some?
Gispert Maduro Robusto..........Honduran...........3 bucks
Cuba Aliados Corojo Madureo Robusto De Luxe..........Honduran..........4 bucks
Flor de Oliva 10the Anniversary Torpedo..........Nicaraguan................almost 3 bucks.
N.S., (now smoking) Romeo y Julieta numero 2 gold band.......Cuba
N.P., Cartwheels by the Reindeer Section

Can't help ya, sorry. I only smoke Robusto Rejects ($1.70) and them what my bro-in-law gives me.
I refuse to pay more than $2 for a cigar. The RR's (hey!) are plenty good enough for me.

Here's an awesome cigar for the money:
Pardon 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo in maduro. Probably the best non-Cuban cigar I ever had, and if you look around, you can get them for $10-11 a stick.

Cigar smokers know a vast segment of society thinks they smell like an underground fire at a toxic waste landfill, yet they continue to smoke them in outdoor restaurants and public places. Why is that?
Smoking cigars in public is more offensive than intentionally farting in an elevator.

I'd much rather smell a cigar than a cigarette.

Can I please smell neither?
Cigars are so much stronger and pungent. You can smell one from 50 feet away.

well, move to New York and you wont have to worry about smelling either in restaurants or other public places.

Cigar smoke had 3-oxycyclonic tetrahydrochloride in it and it causes FET's and bipolar transistors to avalance and introduce 2% THD, so you better be careful.

ok
so what do you tell people who smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day?!

You say "You're going to die young."

I tell them that cigarette smoke has 321-diethyl monoflouride sulfate and that it will change the bias resistor value in your power amp and cause a fluctuation of frequency response of up to 10%.
Dave

lol
well, thank God I don't smoke!!

I smoked from 1976 to 1992 and was up to 2 packs a day when I quit. I bought the receiver & speakers I have now in 2005. Will I still suffer this 10% loss?
-
No, you will likely only see a 4.78% change in the treble bandwidth of your left speaker.
Oh yes, pipe smoke has a huge concentration of Flexorabitanoids and will cause the copper in your speaker cables to have 0.08% increased resistance.

Thanks-a-ton, there Mike A & Finchy.
Nothing wrong at all with Robusto Rejects for a buck seventy. A while back, I managed to get some Davidoff rejects for about the same price & they were quite enjoyable.
I'll have to definitely order some Padron 1964's. I've tried the Padron 2000 & it is very aromatic and complex.
Similarly, the price sounds very tempting; what, with Cuban cigars fetching $25-$80 a stick $10-11 is a downright bargain.
Nothing beats a cognac/ or single malt with a good cigar and some fine music playing.
Cheers,
Bill

Getting laid can cause up to a 12% increase in the stiffness of the outer Litz layer of your interconnect cable, epecially at higher frequencies.

Great! I'm always looking for a way to increase my stiffness, being 45 and all.

Well, if that's the problem then maybe your system needs a wooden volume knob. It's only $485.

Riiiiiiight.

Once you get your knob on you may need to get your chips rubbed...
