    New Iowa Concealed Carry Law

    And if your active duty you get 100% off. And if you can get your PLT SGT who is certified to give the course all you pay for is prints and pictures :D Glad to have Iowa on board. Hopefully we can all begin moving towards a licence-less system. I think alot of laws we have had to combat...

    What's in your pipe today?

    Fired up a bowl of Astleys #109 this morning before heading off to work. The description reads: A medium strenght, naturally sweet, fully matured broken Virginia flake. Im finding that I enjoy VA's quite a bit. My first real taste was MacBaren's Va #1. By smoking these one can truly witness...

    All the Hard Work Is About To Pay Off!

    Congrats! The wife and I closed on our first house 1 year and ~1 month ago. After having lived in apartments/dorms for 7 years before and having a motorcycle stolen along with putting up with crummy neighbors and paper thin walls, ill echo your sentiment! Even with all the upkeep that is...

    Problem with my B & M

    Ill be pretty blunt with you. If you have a problem with the shop, then express your dissatisfaction by voting with your wallet and go somewhere else. Wheather it be right or wrong, its his shop and you really have no right to tell him how he should be running it or what he should be saying. If...

    Vinotemp Thermoelectric Humidor

    Cool! I guess they got wind that so many people were using them to store cigars. Beads should help out your RH situation. I had the crystals in mine but it never would stabalize. Rather than spend big $$ on something that does the same thing, I went down to the PetSmart and bought something...

    Noobish perceptions/misconceptions.

    Ill have to say I used to obesess over Temp/RH till I got my vinodor and crystals. Now its pretty rock solid. The wife actually checks on it more than I do now! I still dont do light wrappers, ive just never gotten much flavor out of them. However I found that not all Maduros are flavorfull...

    How to keep the tar away

    I would also be willing to bet that your having problems because your keeping the head too wet (keeping it in your mouth).

    Is music more important to the older generations?

    I would say that its quite the opposite from my experiences. Music is a pretty huge part of life as a youth, wheather its listening to it or playing it. That being said, I like music and so does my family but it wasnt a very big deal. My wife and her family are pretty fanatical about it. We are...

    How to lower the RH?

    Beads, UNSCENTED kitty litter crystals, or just open your humi on a dry day and let some of the moisture out. ETA Yes, make sure your hygro is not off before you start messing with your RH

    Anyone have aged DPG JJ Maddies?

    These and Ashton Aged Maduros truly showed me that sometimes $10/stick is worth it!

    Local B&M having a minimum purchase to use lounge?

    A slippery slope here indeed. My .02 Make no mistake about it, if you go into a B&M and they have a lounge with leather couches and 3 flat screens, your going to be paying a little premium for that. That is not put there out of the kindness of the owners heart I can assure you. So, if you dont...

    B&M Etiquette

    Personally, id never feel that it was OK to uncase a tubo (or remove the cello) wheather id been frequenting a shop for 30 seconds or 30 years unless I was 110% sure I was going to buy that very stick. And in which case, you might as well just buy it unseen/unsmelled at that point. I do wish...
