c'mon I gotta believe there is at least one or two worse threads than this one, but then again I haven't read through every single thread on this forum and it appears that you have. How else could one come to such an absolute yet insightful conclusion. I'll be sure look forward to and thoroughly commit to memory "BigRon's Thread Ratings System" thread so that I can make better contributions. Just curious, how many points of the total score will be based on all of the posters' choices of avatars cuz if it is anymore than 10 or 15 I'm screwed.
Hmmm, I wonder how the thread rating will be done blindly? If spelling, grammer, and avatar originality are worth much then myself and many others will rank quite poorly.
I think this thread is great. I have never tried the Vision so I can't say what I think of the cigar but a little laugh now and then can't be a bad thing.

When do the Top 25 Threads of 06 come out? Will there be accusations that the rankings were influenced by advertising dollars and that there were way too many threads from the Non-Cuban section on the list?
I'll go with (a). Sausage fingers are a recognized disability.
Your alterantive uses for the Vision box: funniest thing I've read on these boards in years.

So, you tell him to grow up and in the same paragraph you use a derogatory term like that? No, it's not allowed, that's why Savona deleted it. You just did the same thing that you said you didn't like.
Everything on this message board doesn't have to be dead serious. Extension was simply trying to have a laugh, and many people thought it was funny.

Whatever some people think, I think extensioncord RULES.....
and BigRone, if you don't like the point of a thread, and think it's useless, then by all means, just don't read it.... unless you're the one paying for all the bandwidth and storage this sites uses, I don't think you're in any position to criticize it...

You seem to care very deeply.
All I care about is that it is Friday, March 30th and the Vision still sucks (though the vertical tasting in the current Cigar Insider seems to incidate that the brand may be inching toward mediocrity.)
Keep those Vision questions coming, everyone...it promises to be a slow day at the office today so I may be able to field one or two before I close up shop for the weekend and tuck into a Jose Seijas toro.

I have a few questions for you today (my day's kind of slow as well):
1) can the vision box be used as a night-light?? 2) can the smokes be used to unplug a blocked drain ? 3) what do you think looks better ?? the smokes ?? or the morning excrements ??
I'll wait for your answers.... because, if you change your mind about how much they suck, I'll be buying one of the most versatile items in history of cigars today...
Does The CAO Vision Still Suck – Special Q&A Edition, Part Two
Before we get to today’s questions, it should be noted that the CAO Vision performed relatively well in the current issue of CA’s Cigar Insider. Whether or not one is willing to pay $12 for a robusto that rates 86 points and exhibits an “uneven burn” and “some damp earth notes” is a personal decision that is best left to the individual.
On to today’s questions, submitted by salibas007 who, bless his heart, continues to support this thread with another series of thoughtful questions.
I think that depends on how much light you require during the overnight hours, and how long you require it for. CAO’s subtle Sensi-Box appears not to be tethered by an AC power source, so battery life may be an issue. However, it’s probably safe to leave the Sensi-Box unattended without any risk of fire or overheating. (I contacted Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc., “the trusted source for product compliance,” but they have not evaluated the Sensi-Box.) So it seems that the issue really comes down to one’s personal taste in sleepy-time illumination. I can say that, in my own experience, many factors can affect the quality and quantity of my sleep. For instance, I once ate an order of buffalo wings too close to bedtime and dreamed that Savona tied me to a chair while Suckling repeatedly prodded me the business end of an unlit Montecristo Especial No. 2 until I agreed to write another 15-page article on luxury watches while foregoing my usual fee. Certainly, watching a horror movie late at night can have a similar effect, so I wonder what might happen if the last thing I saw before falling asleep were a cigar box doing its best impression of the Las Vegas branch of Scores. In short: use at your own risk.
2) can the smokes be used to unplug a blocked drain ?
For this, I had to defer to my plumber friend, Tony. Tony doesn’t believe in e-mail, so I called him up for a chat. I offer the following transcript in unedited form:
E-CORD: Tony, how’s it going. Can I ask you a favor?
TONY THE PLUMBER: You didn’t eat a bucket a buffalo wings before bedtime and block up the toilet again, did you? ‘Cause I swear, this is the last time I snake your s*hitter for free…
EC: No, Tony, nothing of the sort. But I do have a quick plumbing question…
TTP: I think I know where you’re going with this and believe me, what’s done is done. Nobody ever needs to find out about what you tried to send through the garbage disposal last year. What happened in your sand mound, stays in your sand mound.
EC: Wrong again, Tony, but I appreciate our bond of plumber-client confidentiality. Funny you should ask about my garbage disposal, though, because my friend salibas007 was wondering if he could use a cigar to snake a blocked drain.
TTP: Why the hell would he want to do that?
EC: Well, let’s say you bought a box of cigars and they really sucked. And you didn’t want to throw them away because you paid a lot of money for them, but you didn’t want to smoke them either. Now let’s say your drain gets blocked. Could one of those cigars be used to clear the drain?
TTP: Well, naturally I’d suggest he contact a qualified, professional plumber first…
EC: Naturally.
TTP: But, if that option were unavailable, and the cigar were long enough to reach the blockage and flexible enough to negotiate any bends in the pipe, well then, provided it didn’t fall apart in the process and make matters worse, well then I guess it could work.
EC: Thanks, Tony.
TTP: Listen, I gotta go replace the floater valve in Old Lady Kominski’s guest bathroom. Anything else?
EC: Nope, Tony, that should just about do it.
TTP: Okay, take it easy. And quit trying to hack into your water meter, you’re gonna get busted by Pennsylvania Gas & Water.
EC: Righteyo, Tony. Righteyo.
There you have it. And thanks to my friend Tony for taking time out of his busy day of overcharging lonely housewives for fixing leaky faucets, or in some cases, banging them.
3) what do you think looks better ?? the smokes ?? or the morning excrements ??
Unfortunately, I’ve been on a losing streak lately with regard to my own – ahem – morning business (too much cheese, I think). So I went to my local Spencer Gifts store and purchased a package of “Fake Dog Poop,” $3.99. The fake dog poop had a nice, smooth texture and an oily, Colorado-hued exterior. The Vision had an oily but pale and veiny appearance, with a bumpy texture. However, as we’re comparing apples to oranges, I’m willing to give the CAO the edge, at least in terms of wanting to put it into my mouth.
Perhaps in future posts I can explore the question of “The CAO Vision vs. A Hunk of Fake Dog Shזt.” I’ll do my best to assemble an ad hoc tasting panel, if such a thing is even possible given the task at hand, and report back with any results that may or may not be generated.
God bless you e-cord... you just keep on making my day... I think next week's poll question should be:
Who's the funniest member on CA?
I swear, I will nominate you for that....
and I'll try to think over the week-end about some new uses for the box or sticks... I have a bottle of gold label that is itching to be polished, and usually my imagination gets to run wild once I achieve that
Even with the recent hate..This is a funny f'ing post
