HBS - I (finally) made the 2 racks you sent me last night, shared them with my wife and mother-in-law. (yes, you heard that correctly, my mother-in-law!) All I can say is, WOW! They were awesome. Both my wife and her mom kept saying how great the flavor was, and they didn't need sauce...

Happy Birthday! Matt

WOW! Great pictures, and sweet collection there! Matt

Well, I was lucky enough that my wife happened to be in Philly last week, and I was able to persuade her to drive out of her way. She stopped by Holt's and picked one up: Yes, I think I will keep her. And it was $18, they had 3 left when she was there...

Shooter - Playing poker tonight. Tomorrow might work, I'll call you. Matt

Wilkey - some fine looking sticks there. I have enjoyed your reviews, as Smokelaw said, get on it! :) Seriously, thanks for the effort you put into your reviews, they are great for a newbie like myself, very educational.

I have had mine set up a few weeks, and am using it the same way Rob is. I thought I would get more fancy with it, and I still might eventually put in wire rack shelves, etc.

Shooter - GIT R DONE. :)

I read the main article about this story on CNNSI today that said they commonly use a testosterone patch and place it on their scrotum after a race, and it aids their recovery for the next day...

Nice haul there, Mr. Peat!

This is definitely a distubing development. They always take 2 samples, A & B, and if the first tests positive, then they test the second. That is how they were trying to get Lance is test his old B samples that a lab had kept from back in the late 1990's. They tested those for EPO, which...

Last night, I had a LFD Chiselito, whatever the little one is called. It kicked my ass, snuck up on me in the last half. The burn was excellent and even throughout, the draw was very good. I enjoyed this, could this be the poor man's xXx alternative?

Steve - Doggone-it! I can't remember if I sent you the xXx or Fuente Fuente. If it had the red ribbon at the bottom - xXx, if not, Fuente Fuente.? The Padron was a 3000 and Camacho is the Coyolar. Right on the others! Matt Edited for spelling, bad info...

DemonR6 - I am sorry to hear about your loss. I saw that it had been left at the door by Fedex, so I just wanted to check and make sure the goods made it into your hands and not your (potential cigar loving) neighbors... :) Matt

Shooter - I would be happy to, just let me know!
