Has anyone tried this new sampler? It's five maduro cigars of different sizes in a 5-cigar box set. I saw it today at my afternoon cigar shop hangout. Regards, 4A

Lucasbuck, I have not been to the Palms. I have heard mixed reviews about it, but am glad you found it a postive experience. I will try it out on the next trip. Lowest limit at Bellagio is $4-8. For the $2-4 I go to Binon's. Though they are both considered at opposite ends of the spectrum...

"ca phe sua da", the best way to serve French Ice Coffee, perfected by the Vietnamese. And my favorite way to have it is with the Cafe Du Monde coffee out of New Orleans, with Borden's sweetened condensed milk. :love: Yeah" Fight Club". Great movie! Regards, 4A

Hmmm. That kinda looks like: "el y una otra persona que habla frances". ;) Your showing your background. :) So I am off now to have a cafe sua da at the local pho bin . And as you know, it's the only way to have coffee. ;) Ciao ba, 4A

My favorite thing to do while smoking a cigar is...talking. Couple of things about this thread: 1. That Santa's helper on Matt R's signature. I have to know who she is, and I have to have her!! :love: Hopefully my wife won't mind. Let me think now, hmmm........two's company, but three's a...

Too funny! :D :D :D Regards, 4A

Great post! I just love the story of the Wright brothers, and other "inventors". The thing I find so interesting, being an engineer, is that all engineering follows the invention - where little engineering was used to create the invention in the first place. Some examples of what I mean: [1]...

MattR, That Santa's helper on your signature...gosh I hope I have a dream about her soon! :D

Lumberg, I too had the problem yesterday with my Onyx Reserve torrobusto. I did the roll which saved the burn, but later it went out anyway, and I had to re-light. :( I did the roll thing again before re-lighting and had no further problems. Yes, I know what you mean about the wrappers...

Rod, Have fun. It's a nice area. We moved there from Los Angeles when I was a teen, right in that area [near Knowles & Wisconsin intersection], near the Bethesda Naval Hospital. There are lots of nice resturants in the D.C. area, and I understand quite a few cigar friendly places. If you...

Blair, The crawling stuff is pretty funny. When we lived in El Paso, just before I left the military, we had this place that had a very long hallway. My kid used to crawl down that hallway at the speed of a drag racer. The speed was amazing! Then in the kitchen he used to crawl around on...

Let me modify that: I do take a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream in my decaf coffe at night, with whip cream on top. And Mrs. Four Aces just came upstairs and brought me a cup while I am sitting here cyber'ing with you folks. Lucky boy that I am!! Maybe get even luckier later on tonight!!! :D :D

Oh okay, I see what you mean about the apparent "legal" inconsistency re my policy on Cuban cigars. It's a little bit different here in Texas, where there are very pro "citizens' arrest" statutes. Texans are also allowed to carry guns in the open [though not practiced], and concealed if one...

Blair, Nope insurance won't cover it. The glass and the bracelet are below the deductible. In any case, done, gone, and over with. Hey nice pics of the baby. Congratulations. They grow up so fast, and after 20 years it seems like they were just born yesterday. Enjoy! Regards, FA

Let me echo the recommendation on the Idiot's Guide. It is a very good book for beginners and experts. I dropped my copy off at the cigar store, where I smoke, as a permanent loan item. The guys there of course made fun of me for even having such a book. Now everyone refers to it when they...

Nice piece of written work. Looking forward to more. Regards, FA

Hey guys thanks for all the replies. I just got back from my favorite hangout, our local smoke shop. I had another Onyx Reserve. This is the second one I have had. Yesterday I "borrowed" my wife's OR out of the humidor, so now I know she knows how to pick a good cigar. Yeah, my fault for...

Sir-Smokes-A-Lot: I went back and had another today at the smoke shop. There were no numbers that I could find, I asked the clerk for a number and he said he didn't know, and we didn't find one on the box. He's new there, as the owner was out. Anyhow yesterday's size was churchill, today's...

Just another day in the life, I guess... Went shopping for the wife's Christmas gifts today. Stopped at the mall and bought her a bracelet. Then I drove to the sporting goods store to buy her a couple of warm-up suits for the gym. I'm in the sporting goods store no more than 15 minutes...

Nice and congrats. We used to have a Golden Retriever too. They are wonderful! Regards, FA
