    Alec Bradley Tempus....what a fantastic cigar!

    I just tried my first one a couple weeks ago. They are definitely one of the best, or probably the best, cigar that Alec Bradley has made. However, that is still a relative compliment. I think it is an ok cigar, not great but not bad. It has some nice flavors to it, but nothing really stands...

    Traveling to the Windy City: any suggestions on cigar bars

    I would check out Cigary in Wilmette/Skokie if you end up in that area. Very, very nice lounge with a great collection.

    Graycliff Crystal

    I found this to be a good smoke actually. One of the few I like by Graycliff. Maybe yours was just a bad one. I would let one sit for a little while in the humi and then give it another try. Maybe try one from a different store if you don't know the store's maintaince and humidity controls well.

    Count me and friend of mine in for this HERF. Blue Havana is my stomping grounds and my friend is in town from the Corps. BTW, parking is free at Blue Havana. Just park in the DunkinDonuts lot on the corner of Belmont and Clark. They own the lot.

    Trouble for a newbie

    Obviously an opinion, but inhaling a cigar is never a good idea. It will affect how you perceive the flavor and complexity of the cigar also. If you can, I would not inhale anymore.

    Whats your ride?

    So did you decide on the 335 instead of the G35? Both are excellent, but make sure you get the sport G or the Xi 3 series. Enjoy the new car, they are both fantastic drives. Only issue you should be aware of is if you live in the north, the G35 is horrible in the snow. I spinout/fishtail on a...

    Whats your ride?

    I have a LS 400 and a G35 SportCoupe. I would highly recommend both of them, especially the G35 if you have a heavy foot like I do.
