    Rocky Patell R4 Maduro

    Ring Gauge: 50 Length: 5.0" Filler: Blend of Honduras and Nicaragua Binder: no idea. Where do you get this info anyway? Wrapper/Color: Dark and oily Maduro Most people know of the R4 as being wrapped in a corojo leaf. I wanted to try something different and so opted for the fuller bodied...

    Prohibition Porter

    If chocolate and coffee are so great together (just try and order something at Starbucks that doesn’t contain both) then one must ask, why don’t more beers feature this perfect combination? Lucky for me, the brewers at Capital City Brewery recognized this great taste combination and have...

    I'm going to lose 100 lbs.

    As a rather large person who is working on losing weight himself (I'm down 55 lbs from 300), I can say don't underestimate weight lifting. It boosts your metabolism and muscles burn more calories then fat does. What that means is, if you've got more muscle and you eat the same calories, you'll...

    Busy Jan 22?

    They've got a Blendtec Blender! I say go for that if the cigars don't pan out. You can always just blend things in fustration on the way home.

    Home brewing

    Any home brewers here? I've been doing the home brewing thing for a little while now and have two recipes that I can proudly call my very own. The first is a banana hefewiezen. It's a little on the sweeter side with a mellow banana after taste. Everyone loves this stuff. I can't brew it...

    Blind Pig

    That sounds really good. I'm a bit of a hop head myself.

    5 Vegas Miami

    I think they're worth the full price. You can generally get a pack of 5 for about $30 - $40.

    5 Vegas Miami

    I've not noticed a big difference in the flavors between cigars. Are you talking from different years or from cigar to cigar from the same box?

    Drew Estate Natural

    I know what you’re thinking, a cigar by those guys who make those over flavored (infused, whatever you want to call it) Acids. Especially something described as an "unconventional [blend of] tobaccos from such sources as Haiti and Turkey, as well as more common Dominican and Nicaraguan...

    Is This MOLD?

    ...jumping in to agree with everyone else. This looks like the copper oxidized from all that water you put on it and bled into the wood. I would test it to make sure it doesn't rub off onto your cigars.

    Humidor RH is off

    Got the beads about 3 days ago and I can happily say that my RH slowly climbed up to a delicious 70%. No idea why the sponge + water combo wasn't working. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Fat Percentage in Burgers

    I usually do 85/15. If the burger feels a little crumbly I'll throw in an egg and maybe some oats.

    5 Vegas Miami

    Well, here goes my first review. I got this little gem from a monthly cigar club that I joined from Cigar Internationals website. I've been hooked every since. Some of the basics: Ring Gauge: as stated before 50 Length: 5.0" my favorite length. Filler: Blend of Cuban-seed Nicaraguan and...

    Humidor RH is off

    The bit I find the oddest is that the humidor stays at 60% and doesn't do anything else (with a little bit of weaving up and down about 1 or 2%). If it rose slowly but surely, or if it sunk slowly but surely, I dont' think I'd be as perplexed. Oh well, I've got those beads on the way; maybe...

    Tequila

    I've only had the 05, 06, and now the 07. I thought the 05 was fantastic. Of course I usually prefer the harsher less complex taste of Reposada so that might be effecting my opinion.

    Tequila

    The newest (07 I guess) has a bit more of a pepper bite to it then the older ones, but I still enjoy it.

    Torch lighter issues

    A can of compressed air will blow the soot out of the tip.

    Torch lighter issues

    Is it possible that I got bad butane? The butane container is a little old and it's the same butane for both the Xikar and the CI one

    Torch lighter issues

    I don't know the brand but I use the triple filtered stuff the cigar store by my house sells.

    Torch lighter issues

    That's true, I haven't thought of that. I guess I'll send it back tomorrow and hope that the next one works. Are you sure that applies to all there products and not just the cutters?
