    Regarding tobacco taxation

    These were from a couple emails I received from Heartfelt Industries & CRA (no connection to either). I apologize for the redundancy as I realize many of you here likely received these same emails, though I thought it worth passing along to those who did not. After S-Chip decimated...

    The Case of the Curiously Comparable Cigar Bands

    Alright Sleuths, I need some assistance in solving what is to me, a mystery. I recently purchased a 10 pack of Padilla Series '68 Toros from JoeCigar. When I received the sticks yesterday I noticed they had a 2nd band below the primary one containing the words "Edición de Aniversario" in black...

    I simply cannot wrap my head around anti-tobacco zealots

    http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2009/07/wendell-berrys-pipe-dreams.html This is a blog I like to read & the author always struck me as someone who is open minded & believes in liberty. He seems to believe in intelligence & reason over fear & paranoia. However, something in a recent post...

    An Industry Icon's Quest For The Signature Cigar

    I just heard this on the way home from work & thought it was interesting. I do however have a newbie question. Looking at the LGC logo in the picture, those are not the same LGC cigars I buy at my B&M (go to the article page for an enlargeable image). I have seen that logo before in reference...

    Cigars Aged in Balsamic Vinegar Casks?

    Last night I supped on a lovely Italian dish cooked by the lovely Mrs. Morcerf. As a side we had the usual French loaf & mixed olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh pepper & fresh grated Romano as a dipping oil. As the dinner became no more than a pleasant memory I decided it was the perfect...

    How the 3 Musketeers became 4

    Xavier Aaron 5/13/09, 11:41 pm, 19.75 in, 7 lbs, 14 oz. This is a rather belated post, but time gets away from one with a newborn, you see - especially when nary a diaper have I changed before. So far things are going well & we are gradually adapting to the metamorphosis. It took our...

    Next in the war on life's little pleasures: Soda

    From an email I received: A perspective article published on April 8, 2009 in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), raises the idea of adding an additional tax on high sugar drinks. The NEJM article notes that sugared drinks may represent the single largest contributor to the obesity...

    Cigars - the gateway drug?

    So I've only considered cigars a hobby of mine for the last few months & I'm already in the Pipe Room. Truth be told, I was interested in pipes long before cigars, but cigars are easier to begin with. I long ago figured I would end up smoking a pipe someday since I was always allured by the...

    Cigar Hangover

    I see this has been discussed before, but I thought I would share my cherry-popping experience. Two weekends prior I was in the mood for aromatherapy via tobacco. So I lit a Casa Magna Colorado Robusto after eating what I thought was a sufficient lunch (chicken/lettuce wrap, apple). Along...

    Kansas City B&M Event

    I was in Diebel's (on the Plaza) on Sat. & one of the guys I've gotten to know told me that they are having an event on April 1st (no this is not an April Fool's Joke...I don't think). Not sure on the time but it is $30 to get in. He said they would have booze & I believe the cover includes a...
