Good points to consider Ironpeddler. I would never have thought of those things on my own. Not surprising given my line of work. :) I failed to mention that I had a conversation with one of the humidor employee's on the day of the closing. I asked if sales were a problem given the new anti...

My wife was at the local Loblaws (large grocery chain here in Ontario Canada) and called with a question or two. After dealing with that, I asked if she would mind dropping by the smoke shop at Loblaws and pick up a couple of sticks for me. I gave her my list of preferences. She called a few...

Our newest addition to the family, Alana, born June 20/08.

Robbie: I am curious as hell about your coffee table humidor but I can't view your pictures since I am not a facebook friend. Any chance you can do a solid and share some images to give the rest of us something to drool over?

Thanks for the link Robbiexor. Exactly what I needed. Now ... gonna print it off, and study it this afternoon when the kids are napping AND while enjoying a Don Tomas Camaroon. (Won this and a few other honourable mentions on auction a while back) :thumbs:

I have tried a search of the forums for some of the terms and abbreviations, ie: B&H etc with no luck. Quite a few of the posts use various abbreviations that I have not figured out. Either I'm brain dead or the late night feedings with my new baby daughter have taken their toll. Any chance...

Hi guys: The taxes and duties in Canada while excessive do vary a bit province to province. An example of the excess: I recently won a cigar auction. The final value of the auction was $50. My total cost would have been $150 with taxes and shipping all in. However I was able to eliminate the...

Hey Dieselman: I have experience with this, living in Oshawa Ontario. Sending you a PM.

I had my American Express card duplicated a number of years ago by a gas jockey who was connected to a street gang. With the duplicated card, they made 3 purchases on the same day at the same electronics store in Hong Kong (of all places) to the tune of a total of $15,000. AEx caught the unusual...

Herfs!

A while back I shared my experience with an online cigar retailer. View post here. Today I received an email from that merchant addressed to anyone who had a less that positive experience with him. In the email he made the effort to apologize for the "concerns and inconvenience". And while the...

Just enjoyed a Miraflor Robusto. Taste reminded me of some of the Perdomo's. Not surprising I guess (I'm a newb, so correct me if I am wrong) since the Miraflor is a Nicaraguan as well. Very nice burn - even and nice ash. Well constructed too. A steal for an under $3 cigar (Canadian).

Unbelieveable!! Okay gents ... fess up. Who in here blistered up their lips doing this? I can't imagine the explaination one would need to come up with when they go to work the next day. Me ... working in a pysch ward ... I would have a few doctors recommending a few meds (and not for pain)...

Part of my working career included a brief hiatus working for a politician here in Ontario. One of the things that I learned during that time is that policy decisions are typically made after research and polling suggest the policy will have legs. In this case ( and having some intimate...

Lo and behold .... In todays Toronto Star.

Ontario has taken a more aggressive stance with regard to anti smoking laws. In Ontario, no one can smoke in a bar, or any restaraunt, or public building. Soon, there will be legislation that will ban smoking in cars when children are present. Some of the laws makes good sense as in the case of...

I was told by a local cigar retailer that in a few short weeks (May) that walk in customers will no longer be able to access his humidor. It seems that our local Provincial goverment (similar to the State level of government in the USA) has decreed that citizens of Ontario will no longer be able...

So true.

:D

He changed some of the contact info on his site. However, I do have his last posted address. I Google Earth'ed his address not long ago and still have it available in my drop down list :) . Nice neighbourhood by the looks of it. His phone number is a cell phone according to Whitepages.ca...
