i have been reading this forum for a while to help me decide on new things to try. Finally i decided i would register and post, i also joined the monthly cigar club. I live in south carolina so i love to see that so many people from this area are into cigars. I'm off to enjoy a padron 1964 anniversary since the local shop had them for sale for $9.50
Excellent deal on that cigar, Bildo792. What size was that? Was it the PAM's or the PAN's? That's cheaper than the box price.
the exclusivo natural was $9.55 and the principe maduro was $8.80. I am not sure if they just have them priced wrong or if they are just cheap. I don't want to ask until i go buy a few more. Too bad I can't afford a box right now.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Just buy as many as you can and forget asking. Why ruin a good thing for the future? :sm_angel: What they don't know, won't hurt you. :sm_angel:

umpkin:exactly, i took a couple pics of them before i smoked the first so i could show my buddies what they were missing (i moved away from all of them so we send pics a lot)

Thats one of those cliches I've never quite ever figured out Bloof. Obviously whoever coined the phrase had never taken a gift horse. It's always been my experience when taking in a gift horse that you better look the deal over real well, because in most cases your setting yourself up for hugh expense and time commitment. I'm not sure how that applies to well priced cigars though.
I can't figure out that one either, although it's one of my favorites. I think it means just enjoy the gift and don't go looking for trouble or something wrong with it. Or perhaps it's because the Trojans came out of the side of the horse and not the mouth. Maybe looking in the mouth is what kept the Greeks or whoever received the horse from being prepared for the guys popping out of the side.
Heck, what do I know? Just don't go looking any gift horses in the mouth.
:duh: :dunno: :duh:

the phrase comes from a time when people would determin the health of a horse by its teeth, or gums or somthing. so if you get a horse as a gift, assume it is healthy and well thought. if you do that you would have no reason to inspect it, hence: "dont look a gift horse in the mouth"
AH HA!!! Of course, the old let me check your teeth joke. Yes, horse trading. Why I was thinking it had something to do with the Trojan Horse episode of history, I don't know, but then again, . . .

What they're actually looking at is the teeth. A horse's teeth continue to grow it's entire life. Birth til death. Cradle to grave. If a horse is unable to grind it's teeth down normally it is a sign of digestive and/or other health problems. Therefore, if the horse is free, don't be too concerned with it's health. If it dies early you could always sell it to a school cafeteria or to the military for MREs. :lol:
