    MARCH TOBACCO OF THE MONTH- FMOTT

    Nice, i all ready have a tin of that! I'm not sure I'll participate in April, as my last experience w/ Pennzance some 10 years ago was not very good and I don't think I want to hunt down another tin just to confirm I don't like it... Though ever other piper seems to want to have its babies, so...

    A New Guitar Amp

    Thanks guys! I had a couple pic of the Les posed in another thread... I'll add 'em here too (these two link to few more): I'll see if I can dig up my copy of that issue to scan-in... Though the most important part, the circuit diagram and parts list, are in the PDF link to off the MAKE...

    A New Guitar Amp

    It outputs a blistering 0.2 watts of pure rock. It also occasionally picked up a radio station if I have the gain cranked all the way up. Not quite sure why that is... It was a really fun DIY electronics project that cost about $11 in parts: http://www.makezine.com/09/crackerboxamp/ I'll be...

    A New Guitar Amp

    I recently decided to give learning guitar another shot after giving up nearly 15 years ago, and bought a shiny Les Paul. Of course I pretty much broke the bank on the guitar purchase and had to make due with a small practice amp that I built last summer. I'd been meaning to tweak the amp a...

    Heartfelt Humidity Sheets

    I've used a small sheet, but only in my otter-box, a small tupperware, or a bail-top jar. I don't know how well they would work to humidify a whole humidor.

    Tatajue and DPG

    Rod has asked us to not dwell on this subject any further. So lets not stir the pot any further and at least try to keep THIS thread on topic and prevent it from veering (any further) into murky waters. The OP asked about the connection between DPG and Pete Johnson and how this led to the...

    Tatajue and DPG

    My understanding was Pete wanted out of the Beverly Hills Lounge and decided a boutique brand was the way to do it. I think on Vitolas.net somewhere there is a quote about wanting to capture the flavors of mid-80s Habanos using high-end Nicaraguan tobaccos. Pepin was the guy with the talent to...

    Hello from Tatuaje

    Not the great resolution that I think we were all hoping for, but at least this is resolved. I'll happily still buy Tatuaje cigars from Al, and I'll happily smoke any Tatuaje that a member turned off by this thread can't stomach anymore... ;) I hope Pete stays around the board and the...

    La Gloria Cubana Wavell Maduro

    Great post. The wavells were my #1 back in the boom days (when you had to fax or call El Credito!), and they still a go to daily smoker for me. I reach for one more often than not when I can't decide what to smoke after day in the office. I'm pretty sure I've smoked more Wavells than any...

    How do you prepare flake/cake tobacco?

    I like a hybrid approach. Fold and stuff a bowl around 3/4 full, then rub out a bit of flake and sprinkle that int he bowl, starting with teh larger rubbed-out bits. Finally 'dust' the top of the bowl with the really finely rubbed tobacco. This will kinda act like tender and get the bowl...

    Didn't buy 1 Holiday Season cigar this year.....

    Mine is a new 2007 limited edition that I got a smoking deal on. I paid $400 which was over half off the list price. Brick's is a bit more because is is the "Plus Top Standard" (if I'm not mistaken) and you have to pay for the gorgeous flame in the top.

    Didn't buy 1 Holiday Season cigar this year.....

    I thought I remembered Wyatt getting a Les for Christmas... How is she playing? I just got a new Epi Les Paul today! I haven't played in probably 15 years, but have decided to give it another go. What a beautiful guitar!

    Don Pepin Garcia Black Edition

    What he said. If you can sit on these Cuban Classics for a year they get even better. I have ONE more '77 w/ a little over a year on it and it makes my mouth water to think about it.
