Flying out to SF for my Bday Napa/Sonoma trip. Was originally going to be flying out on Tuesday am but my wife scheduled my flight on Monday so I could fly with her. She's got business on Monday so from about noon till night on Monday, I'm free. Wanted to know what there was to do see in SF...

Key is to remove the ashes/ends of the cigars after you are done. I smoke in my houses and no remnants of smoke if you have any kind of ventilation even an open window accompanied by removing the ashes afterwards. I have a Lampe Berger that I use every now and then but for the most part, get...

Totally agree :) Any more for me and it takes up too much space on my countertop. I have a separate table where I do prep during down times or when the line's out of something and at those times I'm only using my chefs knife. If I need a serrated, I go to garde manger and grab hers :) its...

It was a weird ending. Couldn't understand why the refs didn't see it go in. Leighton knew right away and he was just hoping for a call I think. G1

Congrats to the Chicago Blackhawks. Man thats gonna be some parade down Michigan ave! G1

Cigars to me are only part of the equation when you have an experience. I can distinctively remember one particular time when I was on a pier in Port Washington NY, waiting for a buddy who was late to go out on his boat. This was back in 1988. The smell of the breeze of the ocean around LI is...

Funny that there aren't more people who use Global. At work, thats all I use and actually, I only keep 2 knives on the line with me, my chefs and a pairing knife with a steel. I used to use Wustof but because the tang is there, after numerous sharpenings, I started hitting the tang. Plus the...

Wow not taking any inventory. I'm down in Miami right now and its so cigar friendly. Good luck and keep us updated on location I'm assuming somewhere in Miami? G1

Will be in Miami for a few days and was wondering what you guys liked as far as food and smokes. Will be heading to calle ocho for a walking trip maybe 1/2 day. Saw that El Credito is no longer looks like Pepins place and El Titan de Bronze are two stops recommended. Any other opinions? G1

Sorry bout the double post, dont' know how that happened. Yeah, we loved Cyrus a couple of years ago and actually found one of my favorite wines there on recommendation from them. G1

A couple that we really are stoked about are Ramey and Hanzell. I always like Ruthorford Hill, may try and stop by Ridge in Lytton Springs. We have a res at Ad Hoc for Friday. Will probably do our own thing on Saturday then maybe Cyrus on Sunday. Looks like I'll be flying in solo on...

I may be in town a day early just to be able to fly in with my wife. May try and see Mark over at Tower. How far is it from SF to Tower? G1

Been a long time since I've had any time off and with my newly found free time, decided to accompany my wife to SF then up to Napa/Sonoma. We used to take a yearly trip around harvest time but haven't in the past few years, so any wineries aside from the usuals worth checking out? Any...

Completely agree that they just aren't prepared for snow in the District. I'm on a major street in DC and I've seen a plow maybe 4 times in the past 3 days. They salt the hell out of the road and somehow thing thats enough. Then there are all of the native DCers that have never driven in...

The milleniums when they came out were fairly abundant. I remember being back in Chitown and the humidor was sitting on the counter. When Tony over at Iwan Ries told me the price, hesitantly, I bought 2, one to smoke and one to hold. They were about $25-30 I think and that was basically 2.5x...

After a long and busy holiday season, finally had a day off where I didnt have to do a thing so I decided to pull out a couple of older sticks and see how they've come around so far. Started post lunch with an OR Tatuaje Cojonu (viso wrapper before they were changed to ligero). Man all I can...

Would be intersting to see where the tix end up. Was it totally random ie all the boxes or just within the 13 dealers who got the larger shipments? G1

Has anyone who's gotten a box have a problem with a paint odor from the box? There was a thread over at cf and I haven't seen aythig here (unless Ive missed it-read on my phone). G1

Just shows how everyone likes something different. Personally, I love the #5's and #4's, PL's, super belicoso, Perf X, FF. I'm not as much of a fan of the larger vitolas ie DC or RdC, #2's used to be great but haven't seen em around in a bit. And contrary to a few, I'm not fond of the robusto...
