I took home two more Snob wins in November during Espinosa Month. One week I won a La Bomba tin sign, lighter and ashtray along with a G-SHOCK watch. Two weeks before that I won a hoodie and hat. My wife said she’s going to restrict my internet access on Fridays!

Nice smoke on a 4-mile walk with The Warden.

How are these aging? I thought they would be special with some time.

Yes! I started running through his movies when I found out I was going and watched this one first. Jade is a favorite too. Gotta load up Bullets Over Broadway in which he was nominated for an Oscar.

It was at The Commissioner’s Cigar Lounge in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Great night at the cigar lounge with Chazz Palminteri, writer and star of A Bronx Tale. Great story teller too! Looking forward to trying his smokes and his wine.

Interesting thought. The lockers are in a separate room and require a thumbprint to enter so it’s closed off from the main lounge. When I toured it, I didn’t get an overwhelming feel of humidity in there leading me to wonder if it was underhumidified. I may put my own calibrated Govee in...

Well, I just bit the bullet on a cigar lounge membership. It's a $750 annual membership which includes $50 bar credit (use it or lose it) each month. The space is beautiful with a huge seating area, several TVs and a full bar. As part of my membership I also get a humidified locker and...

It’s definitely going to see some ashtivity!

Holy Jesus, I hope your wife is OK! Glad you are enjoying!

LMAO! I was hoping this would be a story about a reversion to "normal" pricing with some news on Chen Zhi.

Welcome!

Yeah, it's big. They have a 15' version too but I can't fit that on my patio. For a moment I thought I could set it up over my small 3' fire pit, but that's probably a Darwin award waiting to happen.

Well, you guys sure sent me down a rabbit hole. Looking at this Vevor 12' hexagonal gazebo. It has side panels and a removable top which may avoid the Cheech and Chong effect @rbbrock reported.

Thanks! 24” to the ashtray, and 29” to the top of the handle.

I believe this was electroplated brass and I lost a lot of that during the initial cleaning, so I went with a gloss gold spray paint. I tried to keep it accurate to the period but I think I ended up channeling my Grandma Iannucci! (Which might be accurate to the period!) She had a massive...

The Warden spotted this one and said “I don’t hate it, get it.” Made by Loevsky & Loevsky of Carlstadt, NJ. My research says probably 1960s. I purchased some crystal pendants on the cheap to replace what’s missing on the spindle in the middle. Not sure about the patina. It’s painted cast metal...

I got a rock.

Every time I hit flea markets/antique shops with the Warden I am on the lookout for the Swiss Army cigar knife at non-eBay prices.
