Happy Birthday, Greg!

BVSC is a great portal into the world of son-cubano music. Same with Afro-Cuban All Stars. From those you can branch into the solo albums of Ruben Gonzalez and Ibrahim Ferrer. Both of whom have passed away in this last decade. Amazing music! Have fun discovering it. Bill

Last night: Anejo #50 at a gig. :love: Could be my new favorite. Smoked better than the last shark I had. Wow!

I read A Land Remembered about 5 years ago. Great book! I'll have to check out The River is Home.

Congrats! Our cake maker gave us a fresh small cake on our 1st anniversary. Much better than frozen year old cake. BR

No, I haven't. I just googled it and it looks interesting. I'll have to check them out. I see A Game of Thrones is the first one. I'll try to get to it. Thanks for the heads up. It's funny that the authors name is George R R Martin. I guess having two middle names makes a difference. My...

Gonz, that's a great book! I read a few Little Critter books last night to the kids before bed. Not sure my 7 year old is ready for Harry Potter yet. She's into the American Girl books now. Good to see you, btw. I was just up in Osakis playing a street dance at the end of June. I thought of...

JonDot, I love your desk. It's very similar to my Grandpa's old desk. Right now my folks have it. I hope to inherit it someday. Great drawer pulls. Heavy as a son of a gun...

So is there seriously going to be a movie or is it just a spoof trailer?

Loved that game as a child. That and number cruchers. Or that fish/river one where if you didn't answer fast enough an Osprey swooped down and ate you. "I don't want to be a carpenter, I want to be a banker!"

You've never read The Hobbit before? How about The Lord of the Rings? The movies were pretty great but the books are classics to me. I read them first as a teenager. Like most people, I suspect. Great books even if you're not into the whole "fantasy" style stuff. I can't say I'm a big fantasy or...

Cool ashtray. No idea what it's worth per se but it looks cool. A bit shallow so he'd want to make it deeper for sure. Fill out an introduction and stick around. Maybe your friend should also introduce himself. Welcome!

Ha! :laugh: So that was my problem! I wondered why it stayed the same length and never burned shorter. Huh. Learn something new everyday. :D

A break in the humidity for this poor fella would be nice...

I think I just got done reading a thread you are referring to. Again, I thought maybe humidity was an issue but funny that they've been stored in 65/65 for so long I figured they'd both smoke with no issues. I'm sure Opus X is all a cigar can and should be. I'm looking forward to be being...

Wow! That is a thing of beauty! This was a fun thread. Thanks!

Could be me. I'm new to the Opus line. It's just funny to me that I stored the Padrons in the same way as the Opus and I had much more trouble. I'd pause a minute or so on the Opus and then no smoke would draw. Very strange. With the Padron 2K I had to get up and discipline my 2 year old for...

I've been enjoying cigars as of late. But I hope to return to my pipes (still very newb in that department) again soon as we approach fall. The pipe room here on CP has been incredibly important to me. I've read back to the first posts in this small corner of CP and have gotten quite a bit of...

Yeah, man. I'll echo the thoughts of others with a story from this past weekend. We had a great time up at the lake and I was able to smoke quite a few cigars. I brought a couple "extra special" sticks that I wanted to smoke and take the time to really give them my full attention. I also brought...
