I thought the sons already did. Or was that just the one cigar and was just under Alec Bradley?

Agreed. I used to smoke a lot of Torano cigars in the past. They were always excellent smokes. Now I have not touched one since the first batches after the sale. They just lost everything that made them good. This same story has played out with too many good brands. It is always sad to...

Just ran into town to get a haircut; 4 people a head of me at 9:40 AM. Needless to say I left. It's been like this for about the past eight months to a year; every time I go there is at least 3 people deep. And I've tried different days and different times. But no luck and it doesn't help...

Looks great! I'll have to remember the poached egg trick for the next time I make ramen. I usually just dump the egg in and let it cook naturally in the soup. I like to add some sesame oil and fish oil.

Agreed, pre-Swisher Ligas were AMAZING. After Swisher, not worth smoking anymore for me. Far too many cigars that are miles better, than the Post Swisher Ligas and for a good bit cheaper too!

Vacuum tubes. Have probably over a hundred different ones for my headphone amps. That includes multiple backup sets of a few as well.

I couldn't remember if it was all or one. And I was too lazy to look up it and confirm! Good cigar, those Guardian of the Farms. Love me a closed foot!

I think Aganorsa named that brand after one of their Bulldogs even!

I've been saving it to watch for a cooler Saturday when I can't go outside for a smoke. Make a bowl of soup or some ramen for lunch and enjoy the show!

Budget? I like Schiit, they have good gear and are designed and built in the US. They have offices in California and Texas. I have several of their lines. The Vali, https://www.schiit.com/products/vali-3, is a good starter tube amp that does not break the bank. Gives you some good options...

Ah, I'm a bit of a headphone hobbyist. I have a few nice pairs and headphone amps. Got a nice tube amp to drive them with. I haven't heard of Leslies before, so it is nice to hear of another vintage brand.

When I do burn ends, I just cut it off and throw it back on the smoker right away. I then take it up after dinner, cube, and put in the au jus.

Those a pair of Focal headphones?

Such a great movie! I really enjoyed that one.

Hammer & Sickle closeout. They were from the #BurnTheBand sale. 2Guys bought all the remaining Hammer & Sickle cigars; they stopped the Brand back in May/June after the Mayor or Governor took Russian brands off the shelf. Even though Hammer & Sickle was a local New England brand. They did a...

Only had one issue out of 15 Govees. The bad unit drains the batteries in weeks, while the others last a year or so.

Hey, I worked in a meat processing plant scrubbing gut barrels, when I was in high school. As mentioned, work is work. Try and find something about the job that you can take pride in and enjoy. That helps to find the meaning in any job.

I've had that. Picked it up at a BBQ joint near a truck stop in Kentucky, a few years back. We stopped at the the truck stop for fuel, while on our way to the Mid-Atlantic Truck Show. Saw it and grabbed some BBQ and the sauce. My brother now stops at that same truck stop and BBQ joint every...

I'm sorry to hear of you loss and my condolences to you and your family.

What's the last thing on a flies mind as it hits your windshield? It's butt! There are three flies in the house. Which on is the cowboy? The one on the range.
