P.S. I am not anti-.40 by the way. It's a fine round and no reason not to carry it. But as I've always carried .45 ACP I did not feel the need to adopt it earlier, and now that I frequently carry a 9mm Wilson Combat SFX9, I've just never had the inclination to use the .40 S&W. I'm not knocking...

Oh boy! The old "stopping power" debate rears its ugly head. 😅 The advances in terminal ballistics of modern 9mm lately have all but eliminated any real world stopping power differences. When the .40 S&W was introduced, it had a clear advantage, not arguing that. But it has evaporated over...

SWMBO let me swap them out. How do you fix a humidor leak, @Rod ? I think the one I'm replacing is just a typical crappy humidor they sell everywhere, not sure much can be done to improve it, but do you have any ideas? I'm delighted with that old HC palm tree humi, though. Very lucky, that.

UPDATE: I'm still floored by this thing. My "fancier" one in the living room leaks like a sieve. I'm gonna try to get SWMBO to let me swap this for the fancy one. Don't know if she'll like the artwork, but I'll give it a shot. Start: On May 25 it was at 68% RH after 48 hours of rest with the...

He was amazing.

And to finish up my smoke … the year I graduated 8th grade

Loves me some good old fashioned jams

Latest in my tour of the Avo production line cigars. The Syncro Nicaragua box press toro. Nice smoke. Again, for me it comes down to a question of value. Strength wise flavor neighborhood, this strikes me as an Oliva V Melanio competitor … and comes up wanting in the comparison. I enjoyed it...

My regular gins are a Wilson Combat SFX9 (4”) or a highly modified Kimber Compact CDP (also 4”) in .45. But I’d carry a Glock with pride and confidence any day. Esp these crazy days. Ken Hackathorn sights and Johnny Glock or my own modified OEM trigger. Terrific guns. I love the G45. Not .45...

I have to say, as a dyed in the wool old pharte 1911 fan, I’ve become a grudging fan of the Glock. Not that I’d ever fall in love with one, it’s like falling in “love” with an Estwing hammer. But I respect them. And the 5th gen has a decent trigger for a striker pistol. Having built enough ghost...

Filing up nicely! Thanks for doing this, it’s a lot of fun, but I know it’s also a bit of work. Preesh!

12 and 23, please. Heading to PP now. TYVM

I'd still play. Again, not every month, I think. I like the choices, but favor the Lancero.

Ok, continuing my Avo tour, the Avo Syncro Caribe Tori, 6x52. Good cigar! Didn’t blow me away like the Fogata did yesterday, though and at its price point it’s doubt I’d reload. I get too many Olivas and even regular Padrons at less money I like better. Good construction, crisp burn line the...

This is really fun. Great idea!

This is fun! I don’t usually win anything. When I was a single LT in the Air Force at a church fundraiser I won a set of steak knives. About 6 months later there was a raffle at a fundraiser for a church member who got in a car accident. I won again. ANOTHER set of steak knives, not kidding. 😂...

Well fun! 🤩 PM sent.

Now THIS is more like it! A regular production AVO Syncro Fogata Toro (6x54). Wow! The RITMO left me cold, the Classic left me unimpressed. This is a terrific cigar. Really enjoying this. With a little Monkey Shoulder scotch.
