    Want to share an experience......

    ........then there was the time that I had my left rear tire EXPLODE while doing 85 mph on the Interstate coming back from a trip to New Orleans. I looked up into the rear view mirror, and there were chunks of tire and black rubber residue going everywhere! While I was getting the "doughnut"...

    So whatdoya think?

    I gave up on major league baseball after their previous strike in the early 90's. If my annual salary was over two million dollars a year, never mind the contract endorsement income, I would wake up every day with an ear to ear smile on my face. I don't care whether the players go out on...

    Want to share an experience......

    A sobering story, Kenny, but very well told. Events like that really put things into perspective. In 1992, I was returning home eastbound on I-40, just west of Hickory, NC, where I live. It was summertime and one of those brief, heat induced, afternoon thundershowers had passed by moments...

    ARE CUBAN CIGARS REALLY BETTER?

    Cub-Ern cee-gars are ill eagle. Than-K goodness, my dear departed father, OLD Sam The Man, took a tip from J.F.K. and stocked up on all those pre-Castro stogies, circus 1959. Darn that ole' Castro, commie, pinko, bastid! It's deprivation, that's what it is! I am deprived of Cub-ern cee-gars...

    Guinness Extra Stout - Great Recipe

    (1) I always keep some Guinness in the fridge in the "draft" cans. (2) Guinness has a neat website. I've ordered merchandise directly from Ireland: a black baseball cap and a black Guinness golf bag towel. The merchandise arrives quickly and is really cool. Lots of Guinness stuff on eBay too...

    Banning Soda in California Schools

    Rod, if the "authorities" passed a law forbidding everything that wasn't good for us, then there would be absolutely nothing for us to eat, drink, wear, or even to breathe. I agree with your general sentiments - people have to take responsibility for their choices and actions. What happened...

    Today is 1 Year

    Great post, Mike! I feel the same way that you do. The generosity of most of the people on this board is fantastic. Jeff and MattR have been especially kind to me by providing friendship, advice, and trades for cigars that I have never experienced before. Thank you gentlemen! I like the...

    Arturo Fuente: Don Carlos

    I smoked my second one of these today, and darned if I'm not impressed with this brand of Fuente cigars. Does anybody else like these as much as I seem to? Spicy. Peppery. Smooth. Nice even burn. Solid ash. Medium strength that gradually gets stronger and spicier as the cigar progresses. The...

    Cigar Ratings: How Accurate Are They?

    Another topic regarding tastes encountered during cigar evaluation/ratings made me think about this question..... I've heard that many of the older "cigar aficionados" or long-term cigar smokers have stopped heeding reviews completely due to the reviewers' inaccuracy and unbelievable...

    Where Do The "Hints" Of Flavor Come From?

    My .02 as a F.O.G. Interesting question! I thought all the taste profiling was horse pucky until I ran across my first truly GREAT Cuban cigar. It was a Romeo y Julietta and it has an EXTREMELY pronounced flavor of HAZELNUT, COFFEE, and CHOCOLATE. Amazing! Best cigar I've ever experienced and...
