    At an impass

    I have found that for me the amount of aftertaste left in my mouth really depends on the cigar. Although all cigars do have some sort of the effect you are talking about, some are less. Another thing that I have found, is you may want to try a shorter cigar, or perhaps not nub a longer cigar...

    UFC 99 Comeback

    That's the best and worst about the UFC. You can have a great fighter that dominates and is amazing like Machida and Silva, but one good punch/kick/knee can change an entire fight and take it out. Most of the times the fights go the way that people would imagine, but there is always that...

    Cigars and heat

    If you put the sticks in a couple ziplock bags and use a very small cooler with an ice pack you should be fine. The ziplock bags should hold the humidity and keep the cigars from getting direct moisture and getting wet. If you don't have a mini cooler you can just pick up on of those little...

    UFC 99 Comeback

    Machida is a machine! Such a weird style to see, but seems to be very effective to this point.. We'll see what happens when he gets some good competition his way.

    Mancave pictures...

    Exceptional setup.. hopefully you get a little bit of a chance to use it with those kids keeping you busy. :) Where in the house is the man cave located and do you smoke in it? I have thought about doing a conversion on a small room into a smoking room, but didn't know what you need to do to...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    I checked the humidity last night. Right now I have the big humidifier in the middle where the two drawers are missing. In the center of the unit my humidity is about 72% near the humidifier, on the bottom shelf it came back at 65% and the top drawer was reading 62% last night. That was with...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    I think I will get some beads at some point, need to save up my pennies for it. I was also gonna see how the old school PG handled the space. I had gotten a really big credo from a bag o' crap deal from CI I think it was. It is about 12" x 4" x 1" so it is pretty large. With it in there the...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    Aight, we are finally getting a little closer. I had stained the door and put some clear on it Monday night. Yesterday right when I got home I put the glass in the door and caulked it up to hold it in and to seal it. The caulk in the picture dries clear and won't stay the white color that you...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    This unit is located in the basement which stays at 65-70 degrees year around, so I won't have to do anything for temperature control. When we moved up here my wife had a long list of requirements that she wanted in a new house, I only requested a basement. I love having a cool place to go...

    Nub habano

    I had a Nub Habano over the weekend. It was my first time trying one from the lineup and I was excited to do so. It had been sitting in my humi since last summer, so it should have been plenty ready to smoke. I was going to post a full review here, but never got around to it, it was just so...

    Pepper Mills

    I asked my wife for one for Father's day last year, she picked one up at a Kohl's that works pretty well. She thought I was crazy for asking for a pepper mill as a present, but fresh ground pepper can make all the difference in the world on a dish. I don't know how much she paid for it, but I...

    What beer did you drink today?

    Was down in Indy for the weekend and stopped in at Alcatraz Brewing Company downtown. I tried their Pelican Pale as well as the Bighouse Red. I though both were good, but the red was better. Their food was also a lot better than I was expecting as well.. so if you are downtown, give it a try...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    Yeah.. it was going to look awkward if I didn't center it over the bar. If I did center it over the bar then it would have been a pain to try to get some of the top drawers out, even with my height. So, I moved it over to the other side. It's out of the way and there is still plenty of room...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    Well, I finally got some time last night and got the cabinet mounted in the wall. I will be getting the door stained early next week and then will be mounting the glass in it, so it should be ready to finish up by the middle or end of next week. I also need to work on making/getting matching...

    Nice second round and some great reviews. It's great to see the newbs giving the FOGs a run for their money.

    Educate me Please

    I have not done it yet, but if you haven't tried many cigars, I would recommend doing the newbie trade and having one of the great guys from the board hook you up with a sampler. A great chance to get to know some people and a get a variety of sticks as well. I am going to take my own advice...

    Built in Wall Humidor - First time project

    My friend who works back in the cabinet area hurt his knee and wasn't able to come in to work for about three or four weeks. He made it in for a week and I have the door framed and mounted, but it isn't stained and it doesn't have the glass in it yet. I am going to try to work on installing...
