Not to take anything away from Doc...but I couldn't wait. I am relaxing with a cup of Kona Coffee and a MATASA 30th anniversary perfecto. This 5 & 3/4 by 54 perfecto has perfect construction...the foot comes to a sharp point. The wrapper is olor dominicana and all the tobacco is aged...mostly from the 90s. The stick is medium body with full flavor...hints of chocolae and some spice with a great finish. What blew me away was the ash. It stayed in the sharp point until the weight finally got to it...or else I jerked my hand...but the ash stayed that way for bout an inch and a half.

Don't be disrespectful of a tradition, it's an easy way to be shunned.
Had a RYJ Medallas de oro, Robusto, with a Stella Artois brewski. Wow I didnt know people would get bent out of shape if you start a post they always do. I was going to do this one day but decided I didnt want to step on toes..glad I didnt!

Traditions are what they are. The fact that the tradition serves a purpose that a multitude of other sources could (like starting a thread) doesn't change the fact that we find reassurance in knowing certain things will be consistent, that this consistency is likewise reflective of respect for certain people or places or activities. To me, traditions are nice.
It's no big deal (and I'm certainly no long-timer around here), but that's the point, I think. IOW, if a certain community has a tradition, arguing against it by saying, "What's the big deal?" misses the point. From a purely practical perspective, it's a rare tradition that creates a "big deal" when it's violated. But surely it's pettier still to violate it when it creates no harm to respect something a particular community esteems, however earth-shattering (or not) that tradition may be.
