One of my hang outs is the marine hardware store. Most Saturday mornings...
Picked up any good screws in there?

Yeah a bunch of stainless steel number 8's and 10's. The heads were to big though, had to bring them back.

No, it was to big, it wouldn't sit flush in the hole.

Sometimes you just have to jam it in there . . . . use a little Astrolube or something.

Oh, I thought it was an authentic Cuban bar. Chess is a game you would publicly play in the shade outside or in a private club (don't forget the knights and bishops, btw), where the tables don't need to be turned often. Checkers and dominoes, are games that Cubans (in my observation) play in bars, cafes and cantinas for drinks.

True, but it seems the "labelers" aren't very good (if you have a real one to compare it to--that's why I save some of my bands). I have seen just the bands for sale a couple of times in New Orleans

No it was more Yale than Cuban.

Was on a Carribiean cruise several years ago that left out of Miami.
The cruise ship had a great cigar lounge and the gift shop sold cuban cigars.
However the cruise ship staff warned us not to try to bring them back into the US in Miami. Severe consequences by US customs in Miami if caught.

Not a problem for me its not illegal to sell Cuban cigars in Canada. I remember reading about Bill Cosby and other celeberties who come to Toronto specifically to buy cigars.
