...take a job knowing you will quit in two weeks? I took a job as an independent contractor working for the government knowing that I'll be moving to a Civil Service position in two weeks. It's the same position doing the same job, just a different color of money. Just curious what others...

I'll be in Cleveland on Friday night. Although I grew up in Cleveland I'm not that familiar with the cigar scene there and am looking for a B&M to scope out and maybe light one up with a BOTL in the area. I'll be in the south suburbs, Garfield Heights actually but can travel. Anyone got any...

I'll be in Montgomery, Alabama for 2 weeks starting the last week of January. I'll have my evenings free and need something to do that will keep me out of trouble. Are there any B&Ms or smoker friendly establishments I should check out while I'm there? Thanks, Tony

36 days of combat training, 181 days in a combat zone, 50+ convoys, 850 miles on some of the most volitile roads in Afghanistan and I don't suffer anything worse than a hang nail. I'm home for 5 days and playing volleyball with my daughter's YMCA team and roll my ankle. Thankfully, no break...

Well, my reign as the King of Kabul has come to an end. I'll be heading home in a couple of days and may not be able to keep up with the posts because of the travel. Plus, my wife has "reunion activities" planned that may not include any computer time. I'd like to thank all the kind folks...

Guys...really!!! I just got back from a road trip where I was distributing some fine cigars to some hard charging Soldiers at FOB Lightning. I was shocked to see that Gunner Bell's office was just about blown off the yard. Great packages guys!! She's distributed many of the gifts to...

Les, I received your gift of Gurkha Park Avenues today. OUTSTANDING, simply OUTSTANDING!! I'll be on the road early next month so they are going to have a short life expectancy. I'm sure the boys in the field are going to love them. Cheers & Thanks again!! Tony

After 2 months on board I realize that I have and will continue to have a significant amount of money invested in my cigars. Has anyone experienced a loss of their stash and filed a claim with their insurance company? Generally speaking, will home owner's/renter's insurance cover the loss of...

When I get back to the States I'm going to pack up the family and head to Niagara Falls for a weekend. Driving from Dayton I can take the US route through Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo or I can take the Canadian route (401 & 403) through Detroit, London & St Catharines. The milage is roughly the...

5 US soldiers were wounded today when a suicide vehicle bomber detonated himself on a small road between Camp Eggers and the German Embassy here in Kabul. Please pray for their speedy recoveries. Being in the AF I've been shielded from this sort of violence. I've never had to stare evil in...

I love all things cigar. I also love gadgets and gizmos of all sorts. But I came across this and I just can't make any sense of it. Also, notice that they can be engraved and volume discounts are available! If you hurry, you may even be able to get one before Christmas!! LOL Cheers, Tony

I just received two dynamite care packages from the kind and generous folks at Famous Smoke Shop in Easton PA. The packages were absolutely incredible. I'm almost ashamed to have received such a generous offering. I'll be on the road most of the next few weeks. Be assured these superior...

Cabaiguan Juan sent me a care package to end all care packages. Cigars to smoke, cigars to share, cigarettes to barter with, books & mags to read, the list goes on. He packed it like he's been here!! Out-freaking standing!!! He even included a couple of cutters, there never seems to be enough...

Has anyone seen this? Cheers, Tony :p

I received a blessing today. One of you sent me a gift of 25 outstanding sticks. I can't figure out who sent them. Who ever it was I am truely greatful. Check this out. I'm a noob and am totally undeserving of such gifts. I'm headed down range next week. I'll be taking some with me to...

When I served in Korea I learned to question everything. There was a cigar shop outside the gates of Osan AB that carried Cubans. I doubt they were authentic. I'm now in Kabul, Afghanistan and travel to coalition bases where the base/post exchanges carry Cuban cigars. Should I doubt the...
