Do love the kettlebells though I should work them in more than I do. I’ll work on it. As far as pre’s and creatine go I’m not much for pre anymore. Usually have an espresso or two before heading to the gym is all. Huge proponent of creatine. Standard five grams a day of micronized monohydrate...

05 RyJ Petit Piramides EL - Cinnamon, Coffee - surprisingly no cocoa which I get from most EL. Super smooth & creamy. Loved it.

I’ve been strength training since 12 years old. Now old & grey I’m pushing harder than ever as I believe it’s a major benefactor to longevity and especially maintaining mobility as well as flexibility as long as possible. I owe it to my daughter to keep her father here with her and playing hard...

Love my Xikar and that’s a great price but I’ve never used another V-Cutter. I’m sure there are other good ones. The one downside to the Xikar is it’s quite heavy. I wouldn’t pocket it but otherwise it’s a stalwart. Tempted to pick up one of the Palio’s as their OG straight cutter was my...

OR (‘04) Trinidad Robustos Extra - blast of baking spice from first puff - retro pure maple syrup - brown sugar, soft leather - 1:45 slow smoking paradise.

When can I move in?!

I probably have north of 100 cutters but use the Xikar V-Cutter almost exclusively now.

‘09 Hamlet Cervantes (Pigtail, Shagfoot) - leather, cedar - as always amazing construction. Held ash forever. Second third peach, apricot, sweet bread - passive aromas wheat toast. Hamlets were in my weekly rotation for years until I couldn’t get them anymore. I’ve been in love with Cuban custom...

Happy Birthday Brother!

‘99 Cohiba Siglo V - these are special. My favorite Siglo. Honey, baking spice, vanilla.

‘05 (OR) PSP2 - these were amazing fresh and even better now. So rare among Havana cigars. Absolute perfection.

Spent a week in my old stomping grounds back in Utah with some family and my old pals. Smoked my brains out but only took a few pics as I was having too much fun (and too much drink). Here’s a rundown of some of the highlights. Several ‘20 HUHC from from the handy travel tins. These are hard...

Very nice of you to say Michael. I must confess however that up until a couple years ago I was the worst example of this behavior. Almost never smoking any of my best. Not to get too morbid here but having my daughter in my latter years has made me ponder mortality like never before and now...

EUN JUL02 Cohiba Robustos - from my first ever box of CoRo - pure vanilla creamed honey - just dripping with it - nubbed this one to a full hour fifty - if only all cigars were this good.

OR (‘05) PSP2 - smooth baking spice, incredibly decadent retro - wow! Every single draw an adventure in near perfect smoking experience. 10/10

Glad I can be of service 🤗 I get quite nostalgic smoking them. Might be I’m one of the few that still have a lot of these. I like posting them with the generic bands because I know many of us had these in our humidors at one time or another. As Brandon stated, for many of us these were our first...

‘01 PSD3 EL - have loved these since release. Cocoa, coffee, black licorice. These have picked up some real strength in near 25 years. Smooth, rich, delicious.

I’m with Michael here. You won’t find many cheaper than me or likely to find many more enamored with Cuban cigars so believe me when I say - toss them. Not worth your time or trouble. Fakes bought in Cuba are rarely worth smoking let alone fakes that have not been properly cared for (for years)...

Interesting. I’m sure you’re right. I’ve no experience with that drug.

As many have stated they won’t recover fully but I have some experience with this and can tell you if you slowly rehydrate them you may be surprised how good they still smoke. Unfortunately the aging potential is likely shot but they may still smoke well. I’ve had some incredible smoking...
