I think it's best each person decides for themselves which cigar to smoke for a much anticipated special occasion. I suggest the absolute best cigar you have (or reasonably can obtain), to your taste, from personal experience. I've saved and smoked special cigars previously untried by me on...

Tickets for the group to attend a future sporting event. Doesn't have to be an expensive one either. Minor league hockey, nosebleed seats for the local major league team, whatever. Just a way to get together again and reminisce with the boys about the good bachelor party and wedding reception...

Craigslist is your friend for equipment on the cheap. Or the sale ads of your local homebrewer club.

What's your price point and what cigar by comparison do you consider good flavor and/or "a little kick"?

I'm sure glad I never got into cigarette smoking. I've seen this before. Using cigars, even the tiniest of cigars, to help break away from cigarette smoking has never worked out well that I have seen. Here's why: Cigars are expensive by comparison. The little ones too. The thing is, those...

This link goes to the type of portable propane heater I use when it's too cold outside for my comfort. I like it a lot. Each of the two 'eyes' are independent of each other. You can turn one on or both and they can be turned to face in the same or opposing directions. That really helps...

Is anyone else, like I am, ever struck by the graceful prose of the 'common man' from times long past? For instance: The Civil War documentary, by Ken Burns. It moves me to hear the missives of even the lowliest rank of enlisted men, traditionally the least formally educated of men, read...

At least they tried. The mass consumer market prefers stuff cheap and uninspiring. Look at how many places sell Bud/Miller/Coors by the truckload and struggle to sell anything as 'exotic' as a Sam Adams. Thank goodness there's always the internet and cigars are small and light enough to be...

No, wait, I take it back. For $5 a pitcher, or on another person's dime, I'm all over Miller Lite :thumbs:. Absent of those two exceptions, I gots my principles :whistling:.

I've definitely rushed my way through many errors with they're/their/there, its/it's, et al. I never considered "lose" and "loose" in that same category, but we each have our own struggles with the proper usage of our own everyday language. FireFox is nice at prodding me to correct many of my...

I skim through a few different hobby forums and other reader participant content sites on a somewhat regular basis. For about the past year now, I've more and more noticed the usage of "loose" in place of "lose" when "lose" is clearly the appropriate word and spelling. I see it often enough...

Would be tough for me to give up access to their hooch selection. I've never cared for the cigar side of their business.

In tournaments. And has been at it for a while.

Agreed. I don't do it, but I don't see an issue with it either.

Nope! The point wasn't about waving the banner for skinflints and saving every nickel, but rather about personal choice and preference. If one is aware of the various options available to them, and for whatever reason chooses a particular proven method out of many, then they made the right...

But, alas, it's not that simple. Dissension always arises when the topic of silica media as a humidification system for cigars is raised. Always has and likely always will. I don't understand the naysayers. I really don't. Many people have tried it and found it to work. Some of those...

The Occidental. Bring your own.

Also, since you'll be trekking to San Diego, you do realize that is the Mecca of your stated beer style, right? Stone Brewing, AleSmith Brewing, Port Brewing, et al... You just may wanna send the family away for a lil' "away from Dad time" while you tour the promised land. Rename this misses...

BevMo probably has more 12oz singles in the refrigerated section than on the shelves. Sounds like you may consider a Hi-Time run worth your while. Most of their singles are of the 12oz variety. Offhand, I can't think of another place near you with an equal or better selection, and flexibility...

Great review. To each their own; I'm a big fan of the ERdM Demi Tasse. They're an unsung hero and can be found aged for not a big hit to the wallet. And cheap enough to age on one's own without another big wallet hit. FWIW, I like the ERdM band. It's the Bolivar band I'd like to see done...
