I just ordered the 2nd bundle of RP Vintage 2nds. I compared them side by side to the original and in my thinking were very comparable and for 50% less, I think they are a good deal.

I would respectfully disagree with the statement that the exchange rate at an ATM will "suck". I just returned from Europe and I exclusively used ATM's for my cash withdrawals, they are everywhere, and the rate is the most accurate current rate offered as the major banks bundle these with their...

I have been to their factory outlet in San Juan, it is right by the cruise ship piers and is packed anytime a cruise ship is in town. They give free samples of just about anything you want to try, daiquiri's to rum and cokes to the anejo and better bottlings. This is where I first decided rum...

As promised a review to follow: Found this bottle at the local store for $31.99. Wasn't sure whether or not it was on AVB's list when purchased. My history of drinking scotch now is going on about 18 months. I have tried several of AVB's suggestions for value bottlings as well as the...

I just picked up a bottle of this for 31.99. When I have time I will crack it open and attempt to add my review.

Not to step on AVB's toes, You just have to try different things until you find something special. I tried Glenfiddich Caoran on AVB review and it opened up a whole different worls of Scotch. Just like cigars different scotch's will have different profiles, you will like some and hate others. I...

I would not have appreciated this scotch 10 years ago. On a cruise, my wife wanted to buy me a nice scotch as I was just starting my experimentation with cigars and scotch. The waitress suggested LAPHROAIG (sp). I hated the stuff. Now 10 years later I appreciate the full bodied flavor of a...

An easy, probably obvious one is the Ashton VSG's. One of my favorites.

I have been converting VHS using DVD2 Express converter box, about $50. If you have an 8mm camera with output cables, it will attach to the DVD converter box and with the included software it will convert in real time to MPEG-2 or 4. It is very easy to do and also has digital video software...

I would take the 1964 Principe (natural) for before dinner and and a Diplomatico (maduro) for after. I was not that impressed with the 1926, but I love any 1964.

I don't agree with the policy as far as balconies go, but since I never get a balcony anyway it won't matter. I still have to give NCL an atta-boy being they still have cigar lounges to smoke in, as many of the cruise lines have dropped the indoor cigar lounges entirely. Both NCL Star and Gem...

Albuquerque just enacted a law eliminating smoking indoors, other than tobacco stores or cigar clubs/lounges. In checking in the local B/M today the new members only lounge I found the following info. I found this thread using search and saw the last post was over 7 months ago, so wanted to see...

I have had several now and I am in the "love em" club. All have been very good or great. I think maybe not in the "poor man's opus" line but more "poor man's VSG" line, but at $5 price point nothing to complain about. Very nice cigar.

Sit on my back patio, listening to the waterfall and pond animals scurry around, I also will read or surf the internet as I have a wireless laptop to us, usually I spend time reading about all the things to be done to a Corvette on Corvetteforum.com

Oops, I meant for last night. Didn't read close enough. Mea Culpa. Just thinking about later and new I wouldn't get to post.

Famous Grouse, my first sampling of a blend. Have been working my way through a slew of single malts. A friend at work mentioned he really like FG and so I thought I would try some. Not my ideal or favorite, just something different.

Not an everyday smoke, I may be a wimp, but the only Opus I ever smoked just kicked me from here to tomorrow. I have four more aging, going on 2 years now, but I am still squeamish about trying them. I know, I know, I don't need any help with them, however!!

1. Olivias 2. Sancho Panza My store usually has some 1964/26 and VSG's so I try to buy some of each, though not as much lately, since I bought a box from Tower cigars ( NorCalMark), really great service from him and nice prices.

I also touch up with the torch if it is burning unevenly. The best solution I have found is to be patient after recieving new cigars, to let them set at least a couple of weeks in the humidor as a lot of burn issues, I think come from uneven moisture content or because they are overly wet. The...
