Yes, all contraband must be sent to me ?

For years I had envied you guys, but now that I finally have a source, I may be even worse off! :p When talking about your favorites, many of you mention manufacture dates. Are you asking your supplier for those dates specifically when purchasing? I had some enjoyable smokes a few weeks ago...

Hey, guys - it has been quite some time since I've frequented the forum. I just wanted to drop in and tell you all "thanks" for the valuable info I've gathered here over the years. I was able to make my first trip to a non-USA-controlled island recently, and used resources here to help me select...

Not bad this week. I spent most if it trying to hire two more people at my lumberyard. Wife and little girls split out yesterday morning to the in-laws' so I would have time to replace two doors and repaint the bathroom. Have managed to spend the weekend in a buzzed state of mind, with a few...

Anyone have trouble with house bulk vs. tinned? After a couple years of no pipe, I decided to grab a cob and a few ounces of house "Scottish Mix." Burned the hell out of me. Thought I was smoking too fast, so slowed down to the point of relighting every 5-6 minutes. Barely got any smoke, air was...

Holy smokes, I can't keep a beer in the fridge longer than a week! Founders Porter for me tonight, BTW.

I like Dale's, too, but it gives me a headache like nothing else. Maybe it's because they come in six-packs - since they're tied together, I figure that must be the serving size. Guess I should just stick to bombers...

Shake Chocolate Porter from Boulder Beer. For a $9 six-pack I can grab while grocery shopping at Kroger, I'm pleased.

I know that at least their single barrel bottling is from MGP in Indiana, as they haven't been open long enough to produce a 9-year-old bourbon. I would've passed on it a couple years ago, being the purist that I was, but was fortunate enough to walk into a liquor store last year where they were...

Belle Meade 9 y.o. Single Barrel. My favorite bourbon - and that's saying a lot!

It ain't vodka.

Finished Nineteen Eighty-Four... I feel obligated to go pick up a cigar from Room 101. Think I'll keep my "Why Haven't I Read" theme up and grab Lord of the Flies next.

Jim Beam Devil's Cut - reasonably priced and effective.

Stone Imperial Russian Stout.

I'm reading Nineteen Eighty-Four for the first time. I don't know why I'm just now getting to it, since I recall enjoying Brave New World so much when I was in college. Great topic, btw. I have a tough time choosing fiction - looks like some good ideas here. Bobby
