And there's another italian proverb along the same lines: There are three ways to make money. You can inherit it. You can marry it. Or you can steal it. Isn't it great when a pol goes back to the old, traditional ways? ;)

Quick update: Sean's going to be busy with work commitments until the end of the week. I would prefer to not have the pass delayed (in other words, this isn't carte blanche to keep it for a week!) but I would like to have him participate and he was gracious enough to ask first, so I've given...

Funny, I try to greet Canadians. And occasionally Pennsylvanians. But mostly canuckleheads. :)

Now, that's all we need. He's already a trauma surgeon, level one, and now you're going to let him believe he craps caviar? ;)

You did good - by not escalating the whole thing beyond where it was. Pushing ME is different than pushing my wife (who is half my size with twice my brains). I can handle myself, but if someone laid a finger on her, I'd probably smoke them. File the charges and follow through. At the very...

When you're in a hole, stop digging....

Damn, that wasn't a solicitation, just an elaboration of my future intentions. But thank you. As for the tasting off ... I've found that cameroon can be a bit inconsistent in terms of quality. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes not so much. What RH do you guys store at?

I rather like the CT Reserve - pleasant, good burn, nice flavor in the mild range. I have a few waiting from a Henryscigar bomb, including the doble maduro; more to the point, I'm not sure how they do in the full range. I'd like to try the Nepalese Warrior, the Class Regent made with a cameroon...

Y'all want to have a fly-in herf in Toronto, I'm there. I'm not sure how many people I still know in Montreal. The last guys that I talked to were my old programmers, and a rugby buddy known as "Fishnets". As for the "adult entertainments" in Montreal, check out Wanda's (link). Not that...

Amen brother. I know another coffee addict when I see one. :) Solis also makes an excellent superautomatic, the Master. The only problem with superautos is that service can get pricey. I would buy a "normal" semiautomatic off eBay, because you can do a lot of work yourself. Come to think of...

I have a Solis SL90 at home for espresso - really consistent, really good espresso. I've considered abandoning it for a Rancilio Sylvia, but I'd need to get a PID on top of that to get the same level of temperature consistency. Not to mention that I'd be giving up the instant-on hot water that...

Make reservations at Au Pied du Cochon, on Rue Duluth. You'll kick yourself forever if you miss it. Ex-Montrealer (go TMR Rugby!)

No need to apologize. You're a dad; you have responsibilities.

I tend to use this Credo "phases of tasting" guide when reviewing a smoke - it's not a rating profile, of course, but it definitely helps to organize my thoughts. http://www.credo.fr/uk/monde_credo_world/degustation_uk.htm

How are we doing on the P/T's? Take the time that you need, but keep us in the loop.

I'd say use a repeater midway, although with the right wireless (Linksys WRT series using the DD-WRT firmware, for example, or using an aftermarket antenna) you can manually up the power a fair bit. I can't say enough good things about the dd-wrt firmware. When I was living in Amsterdam, we...

10 RP Vintage 1990 Toros, and a box of Oliva Serie G Special G Cameroons for my box split. Yes, they finally arrived. Now for the fun part :)

Hmm. Having seen a few white-collar layoffs in my time, a vague promise to interview you for other positions after 6 weeks is really not worth a lot. If they were serious about shifting you somewhere else, your line manager would be out shopping you to other business units now. I hope that...

VegaFina robusto. The smoke itself was quite enjoyable (and the ash hung on for ages. I'm not kidding, it was like a freakshow.) But my wife, walking on the same footpath 15 minutes later, could still smell it. And not in a good way. Pick up a Torano Signature and you'll change your tune. Not...

That's odd - I had (and reviewed) one this summer. It was great - one of my best cameroon experiences to date (better than a Hemingway, no less). CAO tends to be very solid, very consistent when it comes to construction and blend, or at least that's their reputation so far. I wonder if they're...
