Getting them off my phone... hang on!

Hey fellow Texan, is that the shop with a paper mâché figure of ole' Fidel up front? Was there years ago, and it seemed shady to me

Once it's set and done, please post payment options so I can secure one. Thanks!

Both scales are European in fact. Anders Celsius developed his several years AFTER Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit introduced his. I'd say metric is more easy on the brain as it is WAAAAY easier to divide or multiply times 10 than try to do it in 16ths, 32nds, etc. Or at least on this old fart's brain!

My client and great friend just gifted me a couple of Cohiba lanceros circa the early to mid 80s, but they're in cello. Years ago on the old defunct CF someone mentioned that around that time Cohiba were actually cellophane wrapped. Still curious, do you guys and gals know anything about this...

To answer some Qs, I teach infrared thermography in Latin American countries and part of the program is teaching the most widely accepted temperature scales worldwide, which are Celsius and Fahrenheit, and their corresponding absolute scales, Kelvin and Rankine respectively. In the course...

Outside the beautiful Mexican city of Queretaro, my client let me use his weekend house with spectacular views over the weekend (doh!). Great wine, Scotch and cigars, plus steaks

So, I travel a lot on business to Central Mexico, and other Spanish speaking countries for that matter. The slow progression into complete smoking bans just about anywhere is catching speed. 10 years ago, I could still smoke in the bar-lounge at the hotel in Maracaibo, Venezuela; 5 years ago...

Have stumbled onto them regional Cooban Fauxibas rolled in Veracruz by a well known Mr. Temich who always proclaims his cigars as "authentic"... authentically pirated, that is. Smoked one once and lemme tell you: they're gross!!!

CP newbie here, enjoying the finely worded reviews from TT and reminiscing my own reviews of some - few really - of the cigars in the stash. Keep'em coming!

Final round has been played on Easter Sunday several times, I know since my daughter's b-day has landed on Easter and Masters'

Wow... just 28 years ago, took my Dad to DC for the FIFA World Cup and 2 sodas and 2 fries set me back in the neighborhood of 35 bucks! Anyhoo, was lurking as a newbie trying to find any Masters' pool for this year from the members in the site. It was a tradition on the old Cigar Family before...

Followed a recommendation from the young lady at Total Wine and More here in town (they just opened a few weeks ago) and fixed myself an espresso martini. She showed me a recent issue of CA where it was featured and, my-oh-my... that stuff is tasty! Not much of a cocktail drinker, opting rather...

No pics but yesterday was one of those days where I had 4 cigars. I normally play golf solo, on weekday afternoons and maybe join a group or so every now and never, but this Saturday was invited by a couple of church pastors so it was gonna be a long morning, albeit chilly in the mid 40s, which...

The fun part of this hobby, is walking into a cigar shop and getting to know the workers or the other people there. Talk to the workers there and ask their opinions. Try a lot of different cigars. Buy two at a time. Try one immediately, then wait a month and re-try it again. Tastes change...

Lemme qualify my response by saying that I was in front of the B&W TV back in Feb. 64 viewing The Ed Sullivan Show when Beatles swept the rug under everyone's feet, so it comes as no surprise that I've seen plenty of McCartney and Ringo shows, first of which was in Dallas circa 1990, and they...

I hear y'all. Thinking about this, the last CCs bought were in Havana 4 years ago and right when I was planning on dropping another coin for more, the stuff hit the fan grossly. So, nah, time to stick with the NC, that are more and more becoming a delight even better sometimes than cigars from...

Exactly what I do. I normally smoke out on the back porch, there's a TV, table, speaker and Stinky ashtray. But on the rare occasion there's bad weather in SoTX of if I just want to smoke inside, simply crack a couple of opposite facing windows open just a smidgen, then run a Lampe Berger for a...

Just looked at the coffins they came in, no mention of it being for the TAA, which has been going on for a while. These were purchased in 2005

My girls are now 32 and 29 years old, still single and professionally successful. Almost 18 years ago I purchased a couple of Opus X Sharks on auction, bidding $55 each to win the auction. Can't imagine what they're worth now. The cigars are impressive torpedoes, starting square pressed before...
