Sadly, I find myself (when home) going to my closet where I keep my humidors and opening them up to check the digital hygro's and perform a quick "squeeze test" on a stick or two...Pathetic maybe...then again....could be I just love the smell of a seasoned humidor with tobacco goodness!

Generally, back porch with a glass of wine or single-malt scotch. Gives me time to sit down and relax or walk around the yard playing catch with my 3 year old Labrador Retriever. I'l sit poolside by the porch occasionally enjoying the cigar if it's not too hot. If weather is crummy, generally I...

I'd have to go with the Labrador Retriever idea, then again...I'm biased. I've had labs all my life and nothing says "Homely" or "Come on in" like a big labrador that wants to be around people. -brian

Yesterday I had a RP Vintage 1990 while on the back porch playing fetch with my Labrador, Bella. Today...not sure, but I'm already working on walking to the humi. That, and I've got my 300ct humi coming that I need to season!

Nice job writing up how you review the cigar. I know that with the San Antonio humidity and wind, it makes it a bit challenging to smoke as well. I have to smoke outside or in my garage as the wife bans it (let alone loosely tolerates) my smoking. Nice article.

As much as I'd love to get into classic sports cars, I'm an offroad junkie at the moment. Currently, I've got my 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE w/ 3" lift, lots of other steel upgrades, and CDL conversion. Want? Geesh... a 1970 Hemi Cuda w/ stock 426 would be nice to wrench on.

Happy Birthday and hope you have a great one!

I tried doing the toner refills on my own but it got too messy. After getting a laser printer and using that for a long time, I never had to replace the toner again. As for desktop printers, I don't use them much.

Man, best wishes for your dad and your family. Hope everything goes well!

Would anyone be interested in getting a group together around the beginning of January for San Antonio and surrounding areas? I haven't seen anything for the SA area on here yet!

I've got 1/2lb of Heartfelt beads in my tupperdor used for temporary storage. I took a tupperware sandwich container, put about 3/4 of the 1/2lb of beads in there and added a 1/4 shot glass of distilled water. Put the lid on the container, shake it around until there is no liquid visible. Take...

I'm pretty new to cigars as well, but have found a number of resources that assist me in making decisions. Personally, I like Rocky Patel's, Ashton's, Avo's. They aren't the cheapest, but they work for me. I suggest going for sampler packs. Famous-smoke.com has a ton of them and God knows I've...

Happy Birthday. I don't know you, but wish you the best!
