I picked up some Triazicide ("newer/better" version of Diazanon), and it says it works on lettuce, cabbage, etc. (leaves that you eat), and tomatoes (close relative of tobacco in the family nicotina), so I figured it'd be ok. Called their 800#, they say "not recommended." So, I'm curious if...

I've got a new web-based Cigar Price Checker that's in public testing, now. It seems to work fairly well, although it's got a few minor bugs and some cosmetic problems. Its BIGGEST problem is that it only has site-crawlers for a few vendors. If you know Java, they're actually very easy to...

As I'm watching all these super-premium and fancy Cuban cigars being passed hither and yon, it occurs to me that there are some really great $1 smokes that are habitually ignored in the turmoil of trying to make "a really great play." So here's my idea for a pass: * Standard pass rules apply...

I've been having a little trouble getting ahold of TechMaster-1. I've sent him e-mails, and gotten no response, and the phone # given by directory assistance gives "cannot be completed as dialed" recording. Same # dialed by operators gives "all circuits busy" fast-busy signal. Anyway, the...

In the few short months that I've been taking this cigar smoking thing seriously, I've been the recipient of an incredible amount of cigar-generosity. Cigar smokers are, as a category, the most kind, generous, friendly and giving people I've met. It seems everyone wants to shove a few of their...

Since I made a few mistakes, and I've seen several other new people asking about similar things, I thought I'd post a few quick notes about how to join your first pass. I know these things have been said elsewhere on the board, but I figured that if there was a thread right here among the "open...

The other day I heard a funny tale about someone who was trying to trade a cigar to someone else at a herf (social smoking gathering) when another person immediately snatched up the gifted cigar and replaced it with another (all in good fun.) This got me to thinking about cigars that go into...

Inspired at having received my first box pass (that makes me an expert, right? :)), I've decided to try to start a pass of my own. Standard pass rules (please see Rules Of A Pass link, above) -- I'll give it until 7/22 to fill up, or until there are 12 "I'm in"s [edit: was "20", but I came to...

My first pass, and I'm going to break the rules ;) It's not actually a "pass" in the traditional sense -- this is a cigar givaway. One of our ASC brothers (Dave Abramowitz) recently lost his house in a fire. Tragic as this was, the worst part is: he lost all his cigars. I'm looking for 15 or...
