    Jet crashes into Buffalo, NY Home

    I've been watching this all morning. It's sounding more and more like ice build-up and the plane stalling. :( Thoughts and prayers out to the crew, people on board and the family on the ground.

    DSLR camera question

    I use the XSi and love it! All my cigar shots are taken with it (along with a few others). For me, I've been self teaching various settings, lens and filters and this has been a great camera for it. I'd recommend getting a HCSD card which will allow for faster shots. I got a 4GB (can have about...

    I'm a medical miracle.

    Congrats on the clean bill of health! :) I'm thinking more and more that it's the "happiness" factor that decides how healthy you are. The more you enjoy life, the more life will treat you well (so to speak).

    CAO contruction and Gurkha Questions

    I've found the Cx2s to have less of a draw issue and have found the LX2 that I'm smoking right now to be a bit tighter than expected. It loosed after the first few draws. BTW, an awesome cigar.

    Where do you blog?

    There are mac specific hosting sites but most people use PHP as the language of choice (with MySQL or PostgreSQL as a backend). Wordpress is amongst the top "packaged" open-source blogging software out there. I actually run 3 blogs with really only one having relevance here...

    The Essence of Esencia Belicoso

    It's not a big secret. Esencia has them on their website: http://www.esenciacigar.com/webshops.htm I got mine through a B&M, IIRC, so I can't attest to any of these sites. ;)

    Keeping a log

    I used to use a small book that I'd put in the band, a small comment and rating. I'd then leave it around in case my g/f wanted to get me a cigar for a gift. All she'd have to do is peruse it or bring it with her to show the shop keeper. Been working so far. :)

    A Salute from one Craftsman to Another

    Thank you. Glad everyone enjoyed it. BMW, if your cigar place has both a Nording and a Nub, I'd say get one of each and compare what they are like. You might find the Nording more flavourful.

    Index Page for Reviews in this Forum

    Very nice indeed. I like that you can search by reviewer as well as letter of the cigar brand. :thumbs: Maybe this thread should be a sticky for now until it's part of the new site?

    Photography

    I've been playing more and more with my Canon XSi (which I got last spring). Most of my photos are at http://flickr.com/photos/syrlinus/show/ As for cigar pictures, while they stand out more on a white background, I prefer them to be positioned with other items. Most of the ones I take are...
