There are many excellent Astronomy resources out there including the ones already mentioned. Additional recommended books are: - The Backyard Stargazer: An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Skywatching With and Without a Telescope by Patricia Price - Turn Left at Orion: A Hundred Night Sky...

Unless you are buying local, shipping costs will be a big percentage of this purchase ... especially for a 6" scope or larger. Have you checked out the local astronomy clubs? Many have free loaner programs for members. Knowing local amateur astronomers would also gain you access to other...

Here's a couple more links of dealers I've used ... http://www.panamas.biz/ http://panamahatsdirect.com/

I got one of these as a gift last year. It looks pretty solid, but actually fell apart the third time I used it. :0 Good thing it had a lifetime guarantee. I received a replacement fairly quick, but it was a hassle to return. Haven't used it since as I prefer my Palio and punch which...

I refinanced my house this summer and had to pay some pre-payment penalties. I can get a refund if I refer a new customer to my old mortgage holder (World Savings) for refinancing or a new purchase. So, if you are considering refinancing or buying a house and will use me as a reference for a...

I've had the Cameroon and Cafe. Good flavors, but the wrappers were rather fragile.

One of the best movies I've seen in recent years. Good characters, storyline, music. This movie makes you think ... not just mindless entertainment.

In all fairness, redboi18 did initially ask that the actual discussion be taken to email. Aside from that Redboi18 ... I think you could best expand your knowledge of habanos by becoming an active member here. Read, join in discussions, purchase some samplers or 5-packs, maybe join a box pass...

"I have a friend who works at a cigar factory in Cuba ..." "Should I leave the cello on?"

While I don't think the Top25 list is a complete joke ... it is very subjective. Like any cigar review site, I use this only for general info. My own tastebuds are the only guide I use for purchases. As for the Upmann Corona Major A/T, there are both machine and hand made versions ... and they...
