I searched the forums and I can't believe I didn't find any matches for Lars Tetens ?! maybe I am doing something wrong. Forgive me if this topic has been discussed, but what is everyone's opinion on Lars Tetens cigars? They are very hard to come by, but if you can get your hands on some, it's well worth the price in my opinion. Especially the Phat Shorty or Royal - those are some intensely satisfying smokes.

I've got some places near me with some LT stuff. If you want I can check prices and selection...

surely you jest......when you smoke something that doesn't smell like a cheap whore,let us know...
Well, my other favorites are Puros Indios, Java, Romeo y Julieta reserva real, along with some random Fuente and Cao...Quote:

I've heard they are terrible, but I've never had one.
I like some of the Acid and CAO Flavors, there good to smoke when in the company of people not to fond of traditional cigars. There no match for a good quality cigar, but they have there place.

And if you really like Lars Tetan's - I doubt you'll really appreciate a fine cigar...
Sorry - but Puros Indios, Java, RyJ Reserva Real, Fuente Curly Heads and CAO gold labels don't fit the category of "fine" cigars. They are more the Ford Fiesta to Chevy Impala of the cigar world... A great every day smoke, but not one for a fine occasion...
Let me know what you think of a Davidoff Anniversario or Millenium Blend, Opus X or Anejo, Padron 1926, Ashton VSG, etc when you smoke one. And then tell me how they compare to the Lars Tetan.... Apples and oranges, my friend... Apples and oranges...
Suspicious post....e-sticks has 'cigarhumidor.com' at the bottom of his post and miraculously ALSO carries Lars Teten cigars. Never tried his cigars, but I trust the overall consensus of this board.
What's the matter e-sticks....do you have a surplus of these crappy cigars and are trying to pawn them off on us because you or whomever you know over there can't sell any? :smiley3: :smiley3:
Lars: http://www.larstetens.com/Lars_Teten...he_mystery.htm
Hey e-sticks, ask benjamin319..he'll buy some! Oh and Corona...nevermind, he's on permanent vacation right now... :smiley36: :smiley36:
ok godfather checked the link. someone maybe want to enlighten me as to how the guy could spend years learning from indigenous people how to make cigars and then do it himself for 25 years? he looks 30 max.
Ahhh, Boone's Farm, the cheapest way for college kids to get wasted!Quote:

Why is thecigarhumidor.com in his sig tag. I hope he's not that guy. If he is, it's scanning the website to steal your addresses and saying he bought them.
Isn't that, the guy who did that?

Edited to add:
But, Godfather - you missed that this original post was made back in March. Neko brought it back up again...
Kevin's a strange bird. Given his sales "tactics", I'd avoid his site like the plague....

I don't think it's cool to 'bait' other people with sneaky tactics like that and I was making note of that in case anyone is compelled to check out his shop. :smiley21:

Turned out it was BS - there was no way he got several names/addresses without using the member directory... Nothing I hate worse than a retailer lying to me...
This was another example of how underhanded this cigarhumidor is.... It doesn't surprise me he started this thread. I'd never do business with this guy - he's not to be trusted....
Ah, I knew there had to be more to this...thanks for adding that bit of history! Ditto ggiese (your username is such a pain to type out btw :smiley36: ), I don't do business with those kind of people either. Looks like this thread will definitely get the message across! :smiley20:Quote:

He financed this piece of garbage for FIVE years which of course it didn't last that long :smiley29: I had to put a used engine in it for him in 1998. It was easier than changing a lawn mower engine! :smiley36: It's a THREE cylinder 800cc or something like that.Quote:

I put 85,000 on it in a year and half and took that beast everywhere that car could go. We took it off-roading, rallye racing, everywhere. It went through Jack's River...
I loved that little POS :smiley32:

We musta had ten of them over the years. They weighed 1800 lbs, had 1.2l engines and might have even been a slight bit smaller than your Metro. WOW did we have some fun in those cars :smiley20: When I went to college in 1979, during the "gas crisis" we were very concious of trying to find cars that were good on gas. These did a little over 30 MPG and when I put in a five speed (they only came with 4 speeds but I took a five speed out of a B210 and fit it in) I used to get 42 MPG on the highway. :smiley3: NOTHING could beat that back then! :smiley20:
Did you know they float fairly well? We even learned how to drive Joey Chitwood style on two wheels with those babies!! :smiley20:

Here's another good picture of the 2 dr sedan. In the US, there was only one mirror on the driver's door:
http://members.surfeu.fi/datsun_1200...t1200/1200.jpg
My last one was a '73 sedan like which was dark blue. :smiley20:
The big problem on these cars was RUST :smiley3: In the northeast, they'd completely rot out in five years.
Here's a nice picture of a coupe. The grilles on the coupe were different. Someone painted it all black on this one. This is a 1973 with the large bumper guards to try to make them compatible with the American bumper requirements for 1973 models:
http://www.oldcars.co.jp/japan/73sed.jpg
The coupes had a fold down rear seat and a small "hatchback" only the trunk opened, the large rear window did not.
So when I got out of college and about a year and a half after I got my first job, I figured I'd get the "top of the line" Datsun :smiley20: which at the time was an 810. I found a 1979 2 door coupe (brown) and bought it in 1986 for $3,500.00 which is the most I've ever spent on a car in my life even to this day. It onlly had 75,000 miles on it.
http://www.forum-auto.com/uploads/20..._datsun810.jpg
I drove it for 8 years until and it rotted out from under me. It wound up with 230,000 miles and was still running like a top. It had the six cylinder (2.8l) engine in it that they put in the 280Z. Mine was a five speed which was kind of rare as most were automatics.
So in 1994, I got a hell of a deal on a 1986 Buick Century station wagon. The transmission was blown so I picked it up for $800.00. It only had 80,000 miles on it. It was white with the wood grain sides, just like this one:
http://www.velocitystar.net/ebay/gay...ages/right.JPG
I drove this car up until 1998 and retired it when the 2.8l chevy six cylinder was too beat to run anymore. It had over 200,000 miles by that point.

Lars Tetens has always been the leader in the cigar industry
I think I may have shat myself when I read this sentence. From the look sof his site, he strikes me as some contemporary douche nozzle that likes to toot his own horn a bit to much.
It's official... I shat myself for sure on that one.Quote:
The world might just not be ready for Lars Tetens, but the real question is, are you?
So in 1998, my girlfriend at the time had a 1987 Buick Electra (same as a Park Avenue but a lower model, less trim, etc.) She lost a wheel cover so we went to the local junk yard looking for one and lo and behold, they had a 1987 Buick Park Avenue for sale. 155,000 miles and they were asking $1,700.00 for it. It looks like this but darker blue:
http://www.bopautorecycling.com/part...40/2276_df.jpg
I still have the car and use it as my daily driver. It now has 301,000 miles on it, I put a new engine in at at 272,000 so it should last for another few years :smiley20:
Sorry 8-5-8, I was trying to hijack KevinWHoecker's thread! :smiley36: :smiley36: :smiley36: :smiley36:Quote:

I had this car up until last year. The frame rotted out. I could have fixed it but I got more interested in Jaguars :smiley19:
In 1984, I bought a 1970 Cadillac DeVille convertible. I had two of these, the first one was dark blue, the second one was tan. This is a photo of a 1969. The 1970s looked almost exactly like this but the grilles were slightly different:

http://www.hubcapcafe.com/i/2002/cars4kids/chev6301.JPG
I paid $600.00 for it. I had to put a quarter panel on it and paint it. Mine was maroon. I wrecked it when a deer ran out in front of me in the fall of 1983 :smiley19:
LOL fine job you're doing... allow me to assist...
When I was 16 my "learner" car died a noble death after being driven by my mother for 10 years before it was bestowed upon me. At that time I was gifted a 1978 Thunderbird that my uncle had purchased off the showroom floor in late '77. It originally looked like this, but was later repainted dark green, retaining the puke green (jade) interior.

I had two of these when I was in high school. 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon:
http://www.tuerca.cl/GRC_4/galeria/f...ir_station.jpg
One was light blue, the other was aqua.
Well now that you know...carry on with memory lane....be careful Abanda, may get excited with all your posts... :smiley36:Quote:

Did Kevin say something? :smiley36:
This is my sweet ride an 89 Jeep Comanche 4x2, 5spd, straight 6 with 170k on it.

eventually I got tired of the ridicule and sold the "thunderchicken" to a friend for $1000 and bought a 92 escort at auction:
http://www.webmycar.com/zonecar/weba...rd__escort.jpg
Mine was tan though
After the escort met an early demise at the hands of a tornado, I bought a 94 Ranger, mine was not 2 tone, but a lovely plum color with some nice wheels on it...
