Thanks. 4A

That's small potatoes. Digest this: military guy in a theater of operations against terrorism gets his name and hometown put in the press/media after a successful operation. Next thing you know some terrorist in Country X does a google search at some internet cafe and finds out where this...

Where's chat room? Is that a yahoo thing?

I'm real interested in the CT Valley area. I think the next NYC biz trip I do, I may loiter and tour some of that CT area. I'll need to map something out, and do some reading/research first, etc. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Mike

Allofus123, How 'bout Wed evening? Some Club Stogie guys might show also. You are correct about the 20-30's crowd, but that tends to be more on Thu evenings when the girls come out to man-hunt. Tue-Wed evenings appears to be pretty tame, IMO, and one can get a table or get into deep...

You mean your toilets are inside your homes? How revolting! In civilized parts, the crapper should be kept outside and well away from the place where one sleeps and eats. You folks have a lot to learn from us up there! :D :D :D

No threadjack, 'cuz you will become a Texan after you visit with us. Get your U-Haul ready! :D Cool on the teaching stuff, about 50% of my consulting practice is formal classroom instruction to oil & gas company engineers. PM sent. 4A

CoventryCat86 sent me this a while back on a trade. I smoked it this afternoon with a martini after a lunch with a client [I ditched the client after lunch and went to my favorite cigar bar here in Houston]. This was a good cigar. I would put it in the mild-medium strength category. It is...

Kurtcigar1, You must be coming down here for a NACE event or something. Yes, I'd like to meet and talk to you about the API erosional velocity equation, C factors, and all that other crap about erosion and corrosion of wellbores and pipelines. The API standard is being misused in applications...

They all do charity work. To be a Shriner, one has to be a Freemason first. The burn centers are unique as a Freemason charity. Scottish Rite also has hospitals that specialize in assissting children that are physically handicapped. My own lodge sponsors a college scholarship program in...

No bar. And we have like one of the biggest temples [Scottish Rite, York Rite, and Shriners] in the country. However, we usually have a pre-meal before the lodge meetings, as we have dining rooms/kitchens in the temples. After the meetings we usually all go to a bar/restaurant, drink, cigar...

This is the best cigar bar in the world! I frequent it. Great place for chasing skirts on Thu evenings. Jazz trio on Tue evening. Bring your own cigars, the mark-up is double. Voted 2nd best place in Houston for single women to find a millionaire, so lie about the size of your wallet when...

hah! hah! :D Well at least we get to ride our horses to work and school down here! Gosh listen to me. Originally from California, and have lived on both east and west coasts, I told myself I would never live in Texas. The Army dropped me off here in '85, and I stayed. Even got in the...

It's only because it is so cold up there. They are staying indoors, so they have time to play on the computer.

Wife's been out of town and gets back tonight. "Sperm Whale explodes in Houston" :D 4A

Cigar smoking has not had any effect on my workouts. My cycle is one day cardio, one day weights, one day rest, then repeat. 4A

I'm a Master Mason [3rd degree]. My Blue Lodge is Jacques De Molay No. 1390, here in Houston. My dues are in arrears, and I have not been to a meeting in years, largely due to my travel schedule, business, etc. It is a fun thing to do, but don't think it is a place to get "connections" at...

It's called "control", as in the desire for one to control another's behavior, thoughts, freedoms, etc. There are several legal forms of this both past and present: slavery [and it's current version called, "taxation"], extreme anti-cigar laws, etc. Okay, off the soap-box now. 4A

Puros, Welcome aboard. I too was ignorant of trades/passes before I came here, despite being a member of other boards. Guess I had not been paying attention, and living in my own cigar world, on sampling, etc. I've only conducted one sampler trade here, and was more than impressed. So if...

Actually, that's a good idea, but I would up the cash to $20k, ditch the snubnose for a Colt .380, and have two passports. 4A P.S. I visit out there often, so I'll take you up on your offer at Shelly's one of these days. ;) And thanks for the URL.
