OK, this was pretty good. Leaving Safeway just now with some shredded mozzarella for lunch keto pizza, I see a lady, wearing a hoody, with a 12" disk of Plexiglas in front of her face, hoody pulled around it like a space suit. I guess it was a COVID thing, hell if I know. Couldn't resist...

....I got inspired, and started using the Xikar v-cutter over the last couple of days. Huh...this IS pretty cool. Forgot how well it works with smaller ring smokes. Xikar is very sharp, cuts great. Huh. Back in primary rotation, at least for a while.

I've got a Xikar and a Colibri V-cutter. The Colibri takes a heck of a bite out of the end of the cigar, which is OK for 50+ ring toro's, not so much for smaller ring sizes. The Xikar takes a much smaller cut. Depends on the smoke, thought I've got to say my OG Palio and Xikar dual blade...

Absolutely fantastic, guys..!! Can't wait to pour a dram or two. A best friend is getting one, he's super excited to get his hands on it..!! Oh, me too.... :cool:

Happy Birthday...!!

When it comes to lighters, I'm of the conclusion that there are a bunch, reasonably priced, pick what you like. My current faves: https://www.amazon.com/Palio-Siena-Single-Flame-Lighter/dp/B0CYCKW47H/ref=sr_1_5?th=1...

....hello, my name is BBS, and I confess i picked up a Drew Estates Deadwood "Fat Bottom Betty" on a whim, at the place i get my wife's cigarettes...and, didn't hate it. Might have had a couple, over time...

DT&T SakaKhan Black. Big in flavor and size...this'll keep me busy for a while...

Happy Birthday..!!

....what's funny about that is I disgustingly threw AARP mail in the recycle bin for years. Still do, out of spite...... 🤣

.....jeez, that's really, really close..... :rolleyes: OK, that's close enough...!! I'm taking delivery on a 2025 Tesla Model 3......:cool: Congrats and great guess, my friend..!! PM me your addy and I'll get a little celebration pack together for you...!!

.....I burn water when I boil it, a GE would be a real disaster.... 🤣

Nope.....good guess, though. Gosh knows I've railed on multi-hundred dollar lighters.

...dupe.

I made fun of them. I snickered at them. I said they were stupid. I couldn't believe anyone would pay for one. Now.....I own one. What on earth am I talking about..?? First correct guess gets a little something from my cabinet. Specific answers, please. Asshats need not apply. My...

You guys both rule. Nicely done, all around... :cool:
