I got to thinking about how to sample vintage port. If I just start buying it, it would be like 10-15 years before I find out if the brand is one that I like. Since late bottle vintage is made mostly the same way, I figured getting lbv ports would be a good way to sample the styles of each...

OK, I've had several wines lately that taste better the second night than the first. I rarely have the foresight to open the bottle in the morning (which is made worse by rarely knowing what I will be cooking for dinner in the evening). I was thinking that a decanter should help with this...

OK so here is my impression of the CUBAN CRAFTERS REVOLUCION CIGAR CUTTER SCISSORS I got these in the Revolucion Scissors GB and have had a chance to try them a couple of times now. All-in-all, I'm not impressed. While they look like they were designed out of a Hellraiser movie, there is a...

I've been wanting a new wok ever since I got a super powerful range (Bluestar, and I recommend them too). My old cast iron 12" wok was a little too small, so the flames from the burners hit close to the top of the wok; a slight bump and there was fire (grease fire) in the wok. Not safe. I...

CellarTracker I started using it recently for my wine. Very cool bit of social engineering.

Sorry to be a downer, but I need to curtail my modest cigar smoking. Last year my mom died from cancer. Last month, we found out that my wife has thyroid cancer. Thinking about my (and especially my wife's) mortality leads me to think about how to ensure that we enjoy the life we live (why...

The Blind Shall Lead the Blind Pass :cool: ??? :cool: Ever smoke something that everyone says is great, but you just don't seem to see what they do? You, my friend are obviously BLIND. :0 As a newbie, most of what I buy is based on reviews/recommendations. Some of these are great...

They'll sell you one three pack of each of: Hemingway signature maduro WOAM Anejo 46 Anejo 49 Anejo 77 Atlantic samplers

It's been bugging me that the air near the bottom of my cooler doesn't move as much as the air near the top. I get worried that the ammonia smells will accumulate in the sticks near the bottom (the ones that I want to let sit for a year or so). So fortunately, I remembered that I had changed...

All of the pictures I see of PAMs show two bands, one that says Padron 1964 and one that has a serial number on it. I recently did a trade for a PAM Superior and got one that only has the Padron 1964 band. Is this the new way or the old way? And when did they switch?

Very well presented cigar. Beyond the cedar wrapper with the red satin foot, the cigar is nicley built with a dark powerfull looking wrapper and very evenly shaped firm. However it was Huge, which I found intimidated after my getting ass handed to me by an AF Cuban Beli Sungrown the week...

SmokeAll Has some excellent special prices on Torano Tributes and Don Carlos 5 packs. Out of dough myself, so jump on this and think of me ;)

DukeCityCigars has good prices on these right now (and they are available). Since I've exceeded my allowance for the next two months, maybe someone else can take advantage of this (and feel free to throw a PAM my way :p )

Next up in my Arturo Fuente tour came the Hemmingway. The ones I have left are an esquisito, and a Brevas (from my new niece's daddy). I really can't say too much about this cigar. It was fun to light it from the nib --which worked great. The burn was even. The ash held for about an inch...

So I went all wacko on cigarbid again and got some Gurkha Platinum Tubos Torpedos (link on cigarbid) Do they stay sealed in the tube? How long can I keep them in there before smoking them?

For the second stop on my Arturo Fuente tour I somoked a DC robusto. I decided to concentrated on AF after a trade with wk_mang left me with a small stash. My wife, Jodi took a Short Story (now I need to get another one, but I gotta keep the wife that smokes with me happy...), and we went out...

So I finally smoked one of these from a box split with vewyphishy. I'd been saving them to smoke with my brothers when we got together, but my older brother started ridiculing my "bad habit", so I said "screw 'em" Smoked one with my sister-in-law's husband, Zoomer. It started off good, but...

wk_mang sent me this as part of a trade when I asked for some boxes (and the boxes definitely improve my coolers resistance to fluctuations in RH :thumbs: ) I lit it up and it was like a barbque. Lots of very spicy smoke; spicy but smooth that is. After a little while, the cigar mellowed out...
