Goat Hill Tavern is in Costa Mesa, on Newport Blvd. I don't think it's worth your drive, but if you do make it, check out Hi-Time Wine while you're there. People from all over the country order from there. Wine, of course, is their specialty - but they also have a wide variety of spirits and...

You can smoke near the pool of The Disneyland Hotel. There's a small bar at the southeast end of the pool. The bar has outdoor seating (cheap plastic chairs and tables) and some of its tables will have ashtrays. Or ask the bartender for one if you don't see any. That's the only place I know...

I've sworn off of double band cigars for the most part.

I'm curious. Is your assessment based off of that one cigar of their line? It's one cigar within a series of cigars which are but one line within an entire brand. There are more and they don't all taste exactly the same. It's like passing judgment on General Motors based solely on one's...

I've had many post 2am good times at the Harbor House Cafe :whistling:

Yawn

:rolleyes:

FWIW, whenever it's an available (General Motors) option, OnStar is lots better than LoJack is for complete theft recovery. OnStar works immediately in tracking the car's precise location and movements through GPS mapping. LoJack is a signal triangulation system that only alerts nearby police...

No, no danger. It'll take some time for your cigars to stabilize from the RH yo-yo. If the humidity beads can't get the job done (not enough beads to draw in the excess humidity), I think I'd simply toss in some plain kitty litter (which is simply silica gel - a great desiccant) until things...

I have a Gene Cafe roaster. I can't say which is my favorite source of bean; it keeps changing. I typically press pot unless I'm lazy and use my Technivorm drip pot (with Swissgold KF4 filter) instead.

Fan(s) = no stress. 62 Fahrenheit is an acceptable mean range. The target range, actually, for some. For the right price, any wine cooler I've come across can be converted to a damn fine cigar storage unit - despite the various hurdles many of them respectively present for that conversion.

Smoke them. It's a rare opportunity and one which shouldn't be missed out on. If you sell them, then it'll become a business transaction and people will harass you about their past storage conditions, etc, and will possibly gripe to you incessantly if they are not wowed by each and every...

I'd love to finally see the place at least once before they move. Tomorrow is a bit on the busy side. Will see what I can do. Any idea where they will move to, if they're moving?

WE ARE!!!

Private sales can be a mo'fo, indeed. Your (non sale) experience with that other person does sound horrible on their part. Still, FWIW, I never reveal my sources to those I perceive to be new at this and are considering purchasing CC's from me. I just don't care for someone who recently...

Anything Robusto. Inexperienced cigar smokers (which most people are) often prefer a thick ring gauge and something that looks long enough to fit their image of a cigar (no perlas, for example). Anything longer, in my opinion, is a waste for a wedding. It's a horrifying sight to see a trash...

75% likely I'll be there. Depends on how today finishes out.

Lots of people successfully use compressor system wine coolers for makeshift cabinet humidor use. I think I recall they were the first type to gain popularity before the bandwagon shifted to the lesser troublesome (humidity swings) of the thermoelectric models. A small fan (or two or three)...

I think that is the best choice among the options you listed. However, I still think it is worth the (hopefully short) wait for the 9630/Niagra/Tour to come out and use your new contract credit on that instead. Or, you could scoop up the 8900 now. Depends on which network carrier you prefer...

PSD4 or RASS. Each is the perfect wedding party choice, in my opinion. - They're both damn fine cigars in their own right. - The CC bands are sooooo impressive to the CC inexperienced. - Partagas is a famous brand. Ramon Allones not so much, but its band is my favorite CC design (appearances...
