Thanks, Anthony. Been extremely busy with the new job, so the cigar smoking has been cut to once or twice a week.

Smoked one of these a few nights ago and it was simply yummy. Full bodied, complex, slight sweetness to it, and perfectly constructed. One of the very few premiums that I think is worth the money.

Happy birthday, Robbie.

Happy birthday, Chris! Have a great day, my friend.

Happy Birthday, John!

There's a huge difference between the Partagas 150's of Cuban origin and the non-Cubans you have pictured. I doubt the ones sold at Christie's were of the non-Cuban variety. I've never tried the Cuban version, but the NC's were, as mentioned earlier, boring.

You guys should just fly down here for some golf and cigars. Perfect weather right now.

Happy birthday, my friend.

Last year's Epic was pretty damn tasty. I'll be buying this year's.

Happy birthday, young fella.

Congratulations, Rob! Like Randy said, hope to see you here in Tucson this winter.

Nice to see you back, Erik.

Happy Birthday!

Custom rolls are only as good as the leaves that are at the roller's exposal. Unless the roller is also a master blender and was able to personally select the leaves he/she uses, having a name attached to a custom is practically useless on speculating on how it will taste. Construction may be...

Here's a good little video primer about rugby for everyone who's always wanted to know more about the sport.

Happy birthday, my friend!

Waiting with great anticipation, Anthony. I've got Yolandas and tee times ready to go.

You win! You're my hero.

Congratulations, Anthony! When can we expect you down here in Arizona for those lazy golf days?
