I would be worried about the formaldehyde out-gassing from the MDF.  I don't think covering it with Spanish Cedar will prevent it.

I'd recommend that you find a shooting club that offers some defensive pistol experience like IDPA and USPSA.  I was invited to participate in a match many years ago by a friend and had a blast.

Sorry for the late reply.  I don't think I received a notification about the new post.   As it turned out I had quite a bit of time on Thursday afternoon but I didn't make any of the local breweries.  I was pretty wiped out from several long days on my feet and the Yard House with their many...

If you can make it try Cigar City Brewing in Tampa.  It didn't knock my socks off but most people rave about it.   3924 West Spruce Street Tampa, FL 33607   My Brother and I have vacationed in Treasure Island just about every year since 2006 for his birthday.  He had been going there for many...

You didn't tell us we had to do one of those CAPTCHA things too. That was almost a deal breaker. :D   I shared it to my FB page too.

 I hope you can free up an hour or two for a meet up.  Thanks for the brewery info.  I'm not into hops either so I'll have to hit Dangerous Man first.  None of their beers on tap are over 30 IBU which suits me fine.

I'll be flying in to Minneapolis on Monday the 26th and driving down to Ames.  I may be able to meet up there that evening for an hour or so.   I'll start driving back to Minneapolis late Tuesday afternoon  so I probably won't have time to meet up that evening.  Thursday afternoon and evening...

John, My book and cigar arrived yesterday.  I've only flipped through the book but it looks like it will be a very good read.  Maybe I'll start on it when I burn the stick you included.  It smells so good I'm not sure that it's going to survive the weekend.  Thanks for the awesome deal.

  Thanks for helping me make one of my weekend selections. :(     Friday night I burned the one I've had since February 2010.  I have to agree that it did not live up to the hype.  Pretty much the first two thirds was mainly just strong and harsh.  At least I didn't get any bitterness.  I was...

I wonder how one would pair with an Islay or smoked beer like Aecht Schlenkerla?  I've always liked paring a smoky beverage with a cigar.  The two together might be overkill though.

These are green, correct?

They have conflicting information about the number of humidity sensors you can hook up.  The Kickstarter page indicates that you can connect 8 serial humidity sensors.  Their website suggest only one humidity sensor.  I think the difference is the sensor interface.  You would have to contact...
