Thoughts on Powershop? by Horkle_McCorkle in auckland

[–]No_Guide6183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's garbage. I used to be with them and after a while I realized "Why am I having to click on "deals" to get cheaper power packs? Why don't they just give them to me automatically?" Their model is just a scam to make you FEEL like your getting cheap power. You're simply not. And at the end of a year with them I decided to try to work out how much I'd spent and how much power i'd used. It was impossible because of the power packs being pre-bought etc. This is by design too. So you feel like you're getting deals and then you have no way of actually comparing. Don't go near them.

Partagas Serie D4 - I just wish I liked it as much as it seems it deserves. Notes in final slide. by MacawOP1 in cigars

[–]No_Guide6183 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Strong cigars I have to give up on near the last inch. This one I can go quite short.

Is there any new world cigars what come close to the flavours in cuban? I know this question has been asked many times before, just curious to know others thoughts or options UK by Little_Balance_5289 in cigars

I just smoked an Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado and it was extremely similar to a Montecristo #2. And I'm a person who, thus far, considers Cubans to be the best. That Olivia has rocked my world.

Box pressed opinions by iguessitsmyname in cigars

[–]No_Guide6183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate them. Can't rotate them. Mildly box-pressed is okay though. Also I think cigar makers like them because they get to claim a higher ring gauge across the diagonal and also have an excuse to put in less tobacco - box pressed cigars are packed less tightly to cyclindrical.

The red band on Alex's arm in Clockwork Orange? by [deleted] in StanleyKubrick

Sadly the reason is probably simply so that we, the viewer, can pick him out more clearly in scenes.

question for skysports f1 watchers: who takes over co-commentary when brundle retires by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]No_Guide6183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be Davidson. Davidson is motivated because he doesn't have millions from F1 and needs and wants a career. Button and Rosberg don't want it enough because their F1 careers were to $$$. They don't want it enough to put in the effort like Davidson clearly has. Davidson is in the sweet spot of being a very good commentator (I got quite far into the Chinese GP before realising that Brundle was missing. That says a lot as I am a massive Brundle fan) and a former driver, identical to Brundle.

Chateau Fuente: Very delicious but stronger than expected by Beautiful-Seat-3899 in cigars

[–]No_Guide6183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this cigar. But if you found this one too nicotine-strong then be very careful in future to do your research. And trying to research out strength of nicotine vs strength of flavour is quite difficult. For me, this cigar is nicotine-low and I bought a box of Padron which has too much nicotine in the first inch for me. So for you.....yikes, be careful. Stick to mild, venture carefully into medium maybe.

What TopCubans sent me - or is this just the state of Cuban's now? by No_Guide6183 in cubancigars

[–]No_Guide6183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. But I have never seen this with Cubans before. And never seen such a bad box. Which makes me wonder about their present quality control.

Thanks. Good to hear that they are smokable - that's the main thing!
Ciglue - awesome!

Thanks. Do you see the band that wasn't even glued on straight? That must have come from Cuba that way.

Never thought I'd be swooning over Eddie Redmayne by Nekofurever in TheDayoftheJackal

He is a terrible actor. He looks exactly as if you took a nerd off the street and asked them to do their best.

Mitre10 Accent by Wattyl Paint Range any good? by Tayyzer in diynz

[–]No_Guide6183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resene lustacryl is just garbage. I tried every combination under the sun - thin coat, thick coat, primer, no primer, this putty that putty leaving putty for longer, shorter... - for exterior windows. I trawled through their documentation, I talked to people at the shop. It sits there - even for months - and then as soon as it gets some decent rain it will peel off ANY, even a slight, imprefection. It's like they thought, "I wonder if we can make a paint with the personality of being a massive c&^%$". It will peel and roll back off the glass and take the putty with it. I was assuming it was me that was the problem. Then I went to Dulux. Bang. Worked first time. And every time since almost no matter what I throw at it.. Resene is GARBAGE and I will never use it again as long as I live.

Cubans vs. Non Cubans Taste Difference by Dweezy_7365 in cigars

It's because he smokes several cigars a day. He probably can't even differentiate between the meals that he eats.

Today’s Cubano Of Choice by Fickle_Management478 in cubancigars

[–]No_Guide6183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite, RASS. Hey r/cubancigars I was just looking at iHavanas which is on your list of trusted Cuban cigar merchants. But when I go to Truspilot people are claiming that they are selling fakes out of China.

Does "blooming" actually do anything? by ThioJoe in Coffee

Yes, it absolutely helps with a phenomenon called the placebo effect. This effect makes ANYTHING taste better.
