    What have you been reading lately?

    I'll be honest with you, I've never been that big of a reader. Plus, I'm still in college so most of my reading has been school-related. But, since the end of the College World Series, I have given up on TV. I feel like everytime I turn on the TV they are insulting me by putting on some of the...

    Today's Smoke II

    I love the Nestor Miranda SS. I got a couple 5ers of those that I always enjoy going to. Very under-rated cigar. Personally, I had a 601 blue last night in celebration of LSU's 6th National Championship in baseball.

    Camacho Corojo Maduro

    Thanks for the review. I have really been impressed with Camacho. They seem to be reasonably priced and well constructed. I personally love the SLR natural. It is in my top 3 favorite cigars and it is right around the $6 mark as well. I have also had the Candela which I really liked but I don't...

    First SCHIP casualty?

    Classic example of taxing people out of their jobs. It's a tough time to be unemployed right now. Prayers sent for the workers out there. At least they will be paid through August.

    Any current or former Austin, TX residents?

    That may be the best part of Austin, but the "best" in the country will be decided by tomorrow night. Hopefully tonight, but probably tomorrow. GEAUX TIGERS!

    Two Golf Related Questions

    I used to be pretty serious about golf. Played in a bunch of tournaments and spent entirely too much time and MONEY doing it. I finally realized that it is so much more fun just go out with a group of friends, have a couple of cigars and a good time. I know a lot of people that just can't...

    Brother, that's fine. As long as you aren't betting with your playing partners or running around bragging about your +2 handicap, who cares. If you're just playing for fun, then that's what it should be about, fun.

    Any current or former Austin, TX residents?

    You are correct. I was referring more to property taxes than actual cost-of-living. My bad.

    another title for Tebow in 2009?

    I'd put ya'lls chances at better than 50/50. Right now, the SEC is clearly Florida and then everybody else. Sure, there are some teams that could sneak up and bite you, but not many. I don't think ya'll will have much trouble with LSU. There will be so much hype around that game that Florida's...

    Any current or former Austin, TX residents?

    No real experience in Austin, but my sister moved to DFW after college and she hated it. She moved back to Baton Rouge as soon as she could FWIW. I always thought Dallas was fun, but I was just visiting and never had to live there. I know the cost-of-living in Texas is high, but of the three...

    Today's Smoke II

    Well, my first Father's Day was a bust as far cigars go. I have had a couple sticks set aside for my my first Father's Day for a couple months now. Well, I managed to catch a cold in 100% weather (WTF) so I decided I shouldn't waste my special smokes when I couldn't fully enjoy them. So I went...

    Penn State comin to Bama!

    Sorry, I had to. It's not like LSU has never lost any of those type of games. UAB, Southern Miss, and Houston all come to mind.

    Good call on Payne Stewart. I'm embarassed to admit I forgot about how fluid and smooth his swing was. Another good call on the Stadler penalty. There are so many "goofy" rules in golf, it's hard to remember all of them.

    I'd have to go with Ernie Else as far as swing goes. I don't mind playing out of a grass filled divot. That's just part of the game. I do wish that you could move the ball if it lands in a sand filled divot. Playing out of sand from the middle of the fairway is not what the course architects...

    I'll second the Camacho mentioned by Brian. I haven't had it yet, but most Camacho's tend to be fairly strong. Also, I'll throw in the 601 Black label. I've only had one of those, but I was pleasantly suprised with it. I wouldn't call it strong, but it did have enough complexity to keep it...
