Well, I didn't try to leave this time,. my laptop fried. Sucks. But I can recover all the data and get all that back. So I finally got to build my new desktop machine.
Core 2 Duo, 1.86ghz
2gb RAM
500gb HDD (250gb x2 in a striped raid array)
256mb vcard
DVD burner and all the other little gadgets that make up a good machine.
Itching to get all the poker going again.
And as to the cuban cigars, I only bought three cubans, two of which got smoked there. The third is in it's tube waiting. I did pick up a box of Greycliff cigars for a nice little sum. Supposed ot be one of the top 5 cigars in the world (arguably). It's a little company based on the island there, and they have a dozen or so cuban folk there handrolling them all. After I bought my box, the head cuban dude (think oompa-loompas, they were all tiny guys) tells me to wait. He quickly hand rolls two brand new cigars and hands them to me, gratis. Awesome. I can't find these cigars for less than $20 each around here, but I got them for less than $5 each there.
