in Cigar 101
A good friend of mine gave me a few cigars recently. Some of them are pre-ChinaVirus but he's not sure just how old they are. There's a wrinkly one. I'll add a couple photos. Have you guys smoked one like this? How was it? Can age do this or maybe he wasn't real good with his humidity through the years. I probably won't smoke this one. I may just keep it as a science project.

Hard knock life.
Smoke it. Worst case scenario is it sucks.

looks like it was vacuum packed and never recovered from the trauma.
Have you taken it out of the cello and rolled it between your thumb and forefinger while holding it near your good ear? Compare that sound to the sound that one of your recently purchased, or otherwise well humidified cigar makes when you do the same. Ideally you want little to no sound. If there's a lot of crinkly crackly sounds, that is not ideal. If little pieces of the wrapper and binder fall off, that means it's a goner.
I don't have a name for that test, but I do it all the time if I'm the least bit curious of a cigar's condition.
The "Bob Luken Finger Roll Test"
Now you have a name for it

Who flagged this?
Probably someone who doesn't like the "ChinaVirus" phrase. LOL.
No reason to flag that message that I can see.

Everybody please hit one of the non-anonymous buttons so we can eliminate suspects.
Hell, I noticed it was flagged on the day it was posted
As of 11:50AM Central time, Rusty has not been eliminated as a suspect. They say the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime and here you are.

Wasn’t me… but that was 👆🏻
Yeah I missed that. Gotcha.
What's wrong with "China virus"?
They created it.

It's racist.
Go ahead and tell me how it's not racist, but it is anyways, LOL. It's okay Shawn, Trump has made racism okay again, so I don't hold it against you man. You're one of my homies. But it's racist AF.
By the way, you know me, and you know that I don't like China. I try not to buy bullshit from China, and I definitely won't buy any electronics from China. I definitely won't just sign up for or even look at tik tok because they literally use it to steal computing power and to crawl networks. Fuçk xi jinping and fuçk the Communist party.
But China virus is racist.
Kung-Flu..... morerer racister tho.
Asian flu would be racist because Asian is a race. China is a country, not a race therefore China Virus is not racist.

1 time you dare someone to say it isn't racist
4 times you say it is racist
0 times you say why it is racist
@Rdp77 Do you think we can we get a Political Thread #3 What is Racist?
Asian Bird Flu, also known as H5N1, is a deadly form of avian influenza virus that emerged in China in the late 1990s.
Not Asians, but Asian birds so, is that called birdism or is birdist the right word?
Actually I think Wrinkles could be a fitting name for a political topic thread.
Every post in this thread is now notifying me.
Hi Pete 👋

Why are you afraid of Asian birds

Just be kind to people and animals. Don't kill more than you can eat, except for slugs. Don't eat slugs. Kindness is the strongest form of conscious living. Be grateful for it and stop labeling people with perjoratives.
Might as well. Every damn thread gets turned into something political.
I just wish if people were going to get “political” they’d quit spouting the same bullshít that politicians do and say something rational or logical.
Okay let's take care of business here.
I never dared anyone to do anything.
It's racist for the same reason that Singapore and Vatican City are countries while Taiwan is not. That is...because that's what it's recognized as. Singapore and Vatican City are recognized as countries by the UN and Taiwan is not. End of story.
You can argue that you don't think it's racist, but many, many people interpret it as racist, then it is just racist man. One person doesn't get to decide what is racist. One person doesn't get to decide what a country is. so when you call it the China virus or the kung flu in public, Manny, many people will consider you racist. If you're okay with that, then fuçking say it man. I don't give a shít. I think it's a racist term because many, many people see it as racist, and that's that.
Just like the Confederate flag. That was a flag that signified the independence of a bunch of states in the 1860s. That flag didn't have a black person in chains with a white guy whipping him. It was red white and blue, later interpreted to be a more orangy red, and the Stars signified something and the cross signified something and the field signified something, all of which were not racist. But by the time we got to the 21st century, it was a symbol of racism. That's why all those states took it off of their state flags. That's why all those states took it down off of their state capitals.
Don't know what else to tell you bro. Other than maybe I think that you know better and I think that you didn't learn anything from this post cuz you already knew all of the stuff that I just said.
If you want to play semantics and split hairs with me by arguing that it is bigoted or prejudiced instead of racist, then fine. Pick your poison. Pick your word. Pick your rhetorical fallacy.
And just so we're keeping score, Don't know whether or not the op is a racist, nor did I make a judgment on whether he's a racist. I don't know whether Shawn is a racist, nor do I make a judgment on whether he's a racist.
What I know about my brother Shawn is that he's kind and generous and smart and disagrees with a lot of my views, and I like him anyways. He has love in his heart.
My mother is the most racist person I've ever met who once told me to dump a girl because her eyes aren't shaped like pizzas, but I still loved her because she was my mother.
A person can have different views or faults and they can still be a good person.
But Kung Flu is racist bro.
Kung flu is pretty clever though
