Lil poop of a smoke before I hop on the BART into the city. I need better short smokes.

Those def look pretty solid. I appreciate the cut away view that they give on the Built boot, which illustrates the construction and ties in to what made me go with Nicks. The Youtube channel Rose Anvil made a video where they cut a Nicks in half. Seeing the sheer amount of leather used is what...

It could be anything due to a lack of regulations and a variety of production methods, so dissection is the only way to really know.

God damn, that's super informative. It was 10/mazo. No need to venmo me or anything, I'll gladly dissect it. It's only $3 after all and I'm now picking up work again after my industry's slow season aha. I've admittedly never dissected a cigar, but I've rolled enough blunts to know how to handle...

Yeah, I've got a pair of American made Red Wing loggers that I got for about $400 out the door that have survived 5 years of the often intensive and long hours I pull in staging. Love them to death, but they don't make the steel toe version in America anymore and you can tell the difference...

I'm a dude. I have no problem with using inserts in a cheaper pair of boots. The Nicks boots have 10 layers of leather between you and the ground, so the whole idea is that they break in and form exactly to your foot for maximum comfort and the best fit. If I'm paying $600 for a pair of boots, I...

It was chilly today, so went with a Nub Nuance with a black pour-over for my walk. In other news, I'm sad as I had to return a $600 pair of Nicks work boots, due to the arch not being high enough. Guess I'll just have to wait out the two-month lead time for the quick ship option.

I've got the Fugazi Opus Reserva de Chateau coming. Got it for $32, so it's worth a gamble at that price point, especially with what they normally sell it for.

Way more akin to cheapo, pressed plywood, sometimes bordering on particle board.

The best way I could describe it is if a blender had an idea for a decent smoke in their head, got shitfaced, then rolled it.

No, I'm still reviving those ones, despite knowing deep down that they're toast. The Gurkha was the only old one; everything else I've posted about I got from a cbid order I made. I've got a few boxes coming from cigarpage and a newb sampler from theorangeman inbound, though.

Apparently, I love pain. This absolute dogrocket was poorly constructed: it needed constant touch-ups and relights. It tried unravelling on me right as I clipped it and I was fighting to keep it together. First third was rancid almond, second third was cardboard, and the final third was almost...

Southern Draw Firethorn Toro for todays walk.

Thank you! I really enjoy writing reviews; it reminds me that I'm not too shit at writing. This is my second SD that I've tried, the first being the Kudzu, and so far I'm really enjoying them. Go figure, seeing as AJ Fernandez has his hand in it.

Visually it's a pretty enough stick. Smooth and even wrapper draped evenly around a perfectly packed and springy stick. Sniffing the foot has a slight sweetness and just a hint of ammonia. The cap cuts with no effort. Cold draw: the stick draws perfectly, with just a bit of resistance, and...

Had me a 300 Manos today. Gonna drop a review on it a bit later. Bonus decommissioned naval vessel.

You don't use your cello as TP? Don't be wasteful my guy.

I know what I did 🤣🤣

Forgot to post this prelight picture of mine.

Got a decade old Gurkha Grand Reserve. It was super light and smooth with faint thoughts of cognac in the background. Not my preferred profile, but enjoyable enough.
