    Spit or not to Spit

    It may be that you have too much saliva on your lips when puffing on your cigar(s). That may induce the phenomenon you describe, of feeling the need to spit lest you upset your stomach by ingesting your tobacco enhanced saliva. I also personally find that excess saliva left on a cigar may...

    Homebrewing: Stepping it up...

    Patience and routine searching of local Craigslist sales or local sales on the various Homebrewing forums can work wonders. Local homebrewing clubs too. Guys outgrow and sell off or outright giveaway their unused equipment to like minded enthusiasts all the time. Not so different than with...

    Partagas Shorts OR Siglo I's

    I would have suggested the Shorts, 'cause they're much cheaper (while still being darn good cigars). I think the better question is which would be the better value, which I think the Shorts provide (subjective to personal taste). Unless you know and can appreciate the taste of the more...

    L.A. Beerfest, Sat the 10th in Culver City

    Just can't swing this. Darnit. But I do plan on hitting up theSan Diego International Beer Festival in June. I'm eyeballing an early purchase of tickets for the Friday session.

    Trinidad Fundadores thoughts

    I sometimes wonder just how many ga-zillions of Fundadores were rolled in '98, their year of official release. Their supply seems to never diminish.

    Pipes have killed cigars for me.

    I prefer cigars over pipe smoking. By a long shot. But it's not that I dislike pipe smoking. I've mostly just been too lazy for their maintenance cleaning and lugging them around - in addition to the need for several pipes to rotate through if regularly smoked. And I just plain (strongly) prefer...

    Storing Boxes in humi?

    Do you really know ALL serious collector of cuban cigars around the world? How many of the largest collections of vintage cubans in the world have you seen? Your entire post is presumptuous supposition and arrogant. And as for your opening statement.... really? Nothing wrong with being a...

    Local B&M having a minimum purchase to use lounge?

    For me it depends on just how nice the lounge is to pay for the use of it either through membership dues, purchases or straight up cutting fee cash. Another thing is, I actually want there to be a higher cost at the places that serve alcohol. I've been to a couple where the local kids have...

    FedEx is going to send me 2.5 million

    Yes, people fall for these scams. I've seen it happen quite a few times. It's kinda funny, in a very sad way, when they finalllllly admit to themselves they've been scammed and try to recover their dough. Like that's gonna happen.

    Double Tree HERF - Feb. 18, 2010

    What time'ish do you think you'd make it then? It's been a while since I've fiesta'd in the 626. But I'd rather do it earlier than late into the night.

    What the hell is there to do in LA?

    I fully agree In-N-Out is the best fast food burger in the country. No, wait, I think I like Fatburger even better. But both of those are blown away by many individual hamburger joints and probably all of the burger based restaurants I know of (Hamburger Hamlet, Knowlwood, Farmer Boys...

    Diamond Crown Humidifier

    They are great. They work on such a simple principle, there's not too much that can go wrong with them. Heck, even if you were using pineapple juice, it would take a while to occlude and mold up the wick material. I'm stumped. Gonna think on this one. ???

    Diamond Crown Humidifier

    Interesting. I'm assuming you have the vents, or whatever those metal wing thingies are called, fully opened up. Do you have it attached to the inner side of the humidor lid, facing downward when the lid is closed, to allow gravity to wick away moisture from the reservoir? I don't recall...

    How do you light up?

    Fire is fire, and unless it's coming from a road flare, it's really hard to discern the source of flame by cigar taste. The cheaper the better for me now. Ronson JetLites for the most part. I've long since given up on digging deep into my pockets to pay for pretty accessories. Those are...

    LA

    You're a man of many words, OP. Got people guessing in different directions. The answer is, "Yes, there are good shops."
