Ordered!

Hey Ma! I made it!! Glad you enjoy it 👍

If you live in an area with hard water, you definitely want to do it semi-regularly. I lived in Indianapolis (very hard water) for 15 years and flushed mine every 3-4 months. If you don't, sediment will build up and can blow out your lower heating element (if it's an electric heater, can't...

In high school I worked at a grocery store. We got busted selling beer to someone underage (somebody else did it, not me), and the manager made a rule after the fact that everyone buying alcohol and tobacco gets carded, no exceptions. If you didn't enter the date of birth in the register, it...

Forgot to add, thank you for the compliments! I wrote the lyrics while sitting at a cigar bar that had a very impressive bourbon selection (I travel a ton for my job, so I don't even remember where it was). When writing the music, I just wanted it to sound like a song I'd want to listen to...

Songwriting and vocals are me. Bass guitar is my bandmate Tracy McKee. Harmonica is my Dad, Eric Sr. All other instruments and all of the production are by my bandmate Bobby McKee. Bobby was a professional session and touring guitarist in Nashville for over 20 years (played with some very...

Meet Strider. Fourteen months old, 90 pounds, and does not care that that hard plastic ball was not technically a chew toy.

Many years ago I used to work in a cigar store. We'd often have younger people come in asking what cigar they should get. I'd ask them "well, which ones have you had that you liked?". If they answered "Swisher Sweets" (which happened a lot), I'd say "Every cigar I have is better than a...

...but I released a song a couple of months ago that may be pertinent to some people's interest here. It's called "Cigars and Whiskey" (if you don't like country, you may not like it). It's available on all of the streaming music services, but it can also be found for free on YouTube. If...

In the fall/winter I like to make a maple old fashioned that my late friend Al named “The Fall Guy”. I’ve tinkered around with the recipe over the years because it can get too sweet in a hurry. Here’s where I am now: The Fall Guy 1.5 oz. Bulleit Rye (most any Rye will work, but the spicier...

Oh, ok. 😎 P.S. Happy Birthday!

It was shockingly better than I expected. I did not have high hopes for a mediocre cigar with 18 years on it. I drift in and out of here pretty often, mostly lurking these days though. I have many fond memories of this place, and I’m glad to see some of my old friends are still around!

So, for those of you who don't remember me I used to be very active on this board beginning in 2004. Cigars aren't as much of a hobby for me as they used to be, but I still maintain a decent humidor. You may be wondering why I'm bumping an 18-year-old thread... 18 years ago today, my first...

Thanks! I barely post anymore, but I still pop in pretty regularly. Eric

No pics, but a couple of weeks ago I picked up a box of AJ Fernandez New World Oscuro Robustos from my local B&M. Probably the first full box of anything I’ve bought in two years.

Something unbanded from my CC singles shelf (no idea what it is, but it's good so far) and a Yuengling from the kegerator.

If by "down here" you mean "Westfield, IN", then yes. You should come up here and see it when it's done.

AF 8-5-8 Sungrown while walking to the construction site of our new house (which is only 0.6 miles away from our current house). It's just a hole in the ground at this point, but I like to walk over and look at the hole.

Damn. I didn't get to smoke one with him on this side, but I'll damn sure do it on the other.
