An article from the "Red" Star on the e-petition. Surprisingly non-partison, simply giving some info on it. https://www.thestar.com/ipolitics/federal/2018/10/04/liberal-mp-wants-cigars-exempted-from-plain-packaging-rules.html We really need the numbers to increase on this thing if we want any hope in hell. https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-1858

Hey Guys, I really dont want to burst any bubbles here with regards to trying to make change or hijack this thread, but the Canadian government does NOT recognize online petitions from anyone other then ones on the house of commons website. Luckily an online petition was started there 2 days ago, this is the one we need to push and share with everyone. Once the petition is closed on January 24, 2019; ANGELO IACONO a Liberal in Alfred-Pellan, Quebec is willing to bring the petition to the floor in the House of Commons. Here is a link to the petition https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-1858 For transparency, I did not start the petition or know the person who did, I am not affiliated with MP Iacono or anyone in any political party.

I am in London once in a while so we may be able to set something up. Keep me in the loop on dates.

Enjoy it bud. Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy another stick together in the future.

I'm still around, went into lurker mode for the last week i was in Vegas, cant enjoy a birthday smoke in the cold

Fair enough, I can see that.

I'd like to think with scotch i wont be fooled as easily, but with any other alcohol i could see that happening (at least for me) So if you guys were to get your hands on a scotch stick where would you use it.... I'd grab a bottle of mcclelland.

On their kickstarter page it looks like they have a charred piece of wood

Yeah its crazy. Distilling Scotch/Whiskey is an art and i dont feel comfortable changing the profile of something a master distiller has spent years perfecting. Which isn't to say i wouldn't at least try it once.

I came across this recently and am curious to know how many of you would give it a go? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/11207659/The-wooden-stick-that-makes-cheap-whisky-taste-expensive.html Its basically a wooden stick (made of oak) you place in a cheap bottle of whiskey that helps it give characteristics of a high end whiskey. I have no idea how this stick will take the bite out of the cheap stuff, but i can see how it can release additional notes into the bottle.

Welcome to CCF

Lol, looking forward to making more trips to Montreal

It seems that they are doing everything they can to force us to spend money else where. I have a feeling BOTL in Ottawa will be spending a lot more time in Gatineau and the ones in Niagara will be crossing the border more frequently then they already do. I dont get it.

I'm sure some of the BOTL from Ontario have seen this, but what we thought was bad here just got worse. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-banning-smoking-on-patios-playgrounds-jan-1-1.2827429 "The Ontario government is strengthening its anti-smoking laws in the new year to make it illegal to light up in children's playgrounds, publicly owned sports fields, and restaurant and bar patios. The ban will take effect starting Jan. 1, the government announced Friday. On the same date, the Smoke-Free Ontario Act will be revised to bar the sale of tobacco on university and college campuses. Changes to the act will replace a patchwork of municipal regulations governing smoking on restaurant and bar patios and near playgrounds." Getting together for a herf at the local restaurant patio or park will no longer be an option for us as of Jan 1.

Nope, wish i could i actually enjoy the smell of smoked cigars in a room but wife would kick me out if i did. So im forced into the garage, which isnt all that bad i guess.

Cool I will make sure to get the add-on and give that a test tomorrow night. I've tested some NHL games but gave up when all i saw how bad the quality was. I hope Navi-x works better.

Hello everyone, I know we have some members here who use Apple TV and plenty of NFL fans. I was hoping if anyone knew of a way to stream (good quality sports over the ATV). My ATV is jail-broken and i do have XBMC but i find that the quality is hit or miss and the streaming isn't always clean. I have no problem paying for NFL Game Pass but i dont think there is a way to get it on the ATV (as of yet, heard there were some discussions) If anyone knows how to get Game Pass on the ATV or a work around to get decent quality games that would be greatly appreciated.

I will be there, cant be asking people to take part in the longest ash contest and not be there to actually run it.

Less then a week before the Megaherf, make sure if you are going and want to take part in the longest ash you send in your EMT.

I will be going for the first time this year. Looking forward to attending the different activities and events.

All good, hopefully it will encourage more people to participate if they see it outside of the pic.

Prizes are listed in the picture. First place: $100 Keg GC and a fiver pack of Cubans Second place: a fiver pack of cubans

Welcome to CCF, your palette will notice it after some time. Just keep in mind we all taste different notes from the same cigar.
