    favorite all time cigar

    Still haven't had an ISOM since I got "serious" about cigars a few years ago. But being the simple man I am (read: cheap), I always look forward to a Toranos Exodus Gold and 1916 Cameroon. Relatively inexpensive and great tastes.

    Good Morning S / BOTL

    Good morning, folks. The wife and I were looking forward to not having to wrestle the kids out of bed for school at 6:20 this morning. Aren't Saturdays great? So they both wake up at 6:10 on their own. *sigh* Looks like an earlier start than we planned on... Thank goodness for Community Dark Roast!

    insomnia is a

    I've never had Clariten do that for me. Matter of fact, I've never had Clariten do anything for me. If you're fighting allergies and congestion, my doctor just prescribed me something new called "Palgic." I've taken half a dozen or so at this point, and they really do work. Ask your doc for some...

    CAO CRS Sampler four pack.

    Great review on a cigar I've been wanting to try. And once again, very nice pics. I can't get over how that wrapper has almost a tortoise shell appearance. Just beautiful! :thumbs:

    A day of mixed feelings.....

    It won't do any good to tell you to not worry about it. It sounds awfully stressful. But rest assured, you and your co-workers did the right thing. Good on ya...

    What do you drive?

    My daily ridde from 1995 up until last year was my '66 Mustang GT fastback. It currently has just under 190,000 miles. Before that, it was a string of half a dozen other 65/66 Mustangs. I semi-retired it because my back couldn't handle the twists of putting 2 small children into their car seats...

    Rocky Patel Edge

    Perhaps my experience was a unique one, but the one Corojo I had was very poorly constructed. When I clipped it, I was faced with a couple very thick stems. As I smoked it, they seemed to become more and more intrusive. Couldn't pull them out because of how deep they went into the stick...

    My Favorite Cartoon as a Kid

    Another vote for Merry Melodies/Loony Tunes as the best cartoons of all time! Chuck Jones was a genius. My Saturday mornings were filled with them, Monkees reruns, the Bugaloos, and Sigmund & the Seamonsters! :thumbs: Now, where's my cane...

    Colts or Bears

    Colts. Because the Bears knocked my Saints out of the running! :whistling: And because Peyton is Archie's boy. If he never had a decent team to back him up, I'd like him to at least see his son win the big one. Colts by 7...

    Why the hell am I not tasting right!?!?!

    Perhaps it's allergies. Now, before you dismiss the possiblitiy, go see your doctor... I never had any allergies until moving here to Central Texas 10 or 12 years ago. They came on gradually (over 3 or 4 seasons), but man I've got 'em now. Currently I'm getting shots, taking pills, eyedrops...

    Acid Review

    Alright everybody, I've got one more Acid to add to my review thread... This one is called "Wafe." It's about the size (and shape and thickness) of a couple sticks of Juicy Fruit stuck together. Rather odd. I'm not quite sure how to hold it, and I'm not sure what the point of it is. Then...

    Any Shelby fans out there?

    For vintage Ford products, the VIN tells us the year of manufacture, the plant it was assembled in, the size engine it came with originally, and the consecutive unit number. To know the original color and interior (and even transmission and rear end) one needs the data plate information found on...

    ready to smoke?

    I don't find my pallete to be quite as refined as some folks' are. (It's getting there, though...) So letting cigars age doesn't do a lot of good. The exception would be for very full-bodied smokes. If a particular cigar is too harsh or strong, I'll let the others like it age for a few months -...

    "Let it snow....."

    Same here in Central Texas. Sheets of ice with a dusting of snow on top of it all. Plus, it gave me time to make my dramatic debut. :whistling: Seriously, it snows so rarely in these parts. The whole city shut down and the kids loved every minute of it. As for smoking - it's too cold to even...

    Am I getting hosed?

    It could have been as simple as a hairline crack in the distributor car. Moisture will accumulate on its underside preventing it from starting (or at least giving an awfully rough idle). But with that many miles, I'd say you were due new wires and a complete tune-up. I'm sure it wasn't money...

    Making your own cigar bands

    I've made a couple for some RP Edges I've got aging. (I've noticed they now come with some sort of banding near their foot, though.) It's just too easy for the "blank" cigars to get mixed up with one another. At any rate, being a Photoshop artist, it's what I went to. Unfortunately, my Mac is...
