All the severe weather went off to the north of us. There were a couple tornados in Zimmerman and Princeton. Thankfully just a little rain here in Saint Michael. Nothing severe.

I purchased a few boxes back in the day. Inexpensive. Tasted good enough. They were easy to share with moochers who wanted a cigar from me when I was out playing gigs. "Oh, you've got cigars! Can I have one?"

I received a set for Christmas a couple years ago. I tried them a few times but I noticed a slight taste alteration I didn't care for. Haven't used them since.

I'm doing some last minute Christmas shopping for the brother-in-law and man, these taxes are ridiculous. Most of my purchases in the last 4 years have been with outstate reputable shops. I like supporting local guys but it's hard to do so when you want your dollars to go as far as they can.

Funny, I just ordered from Boswell's yesterday for the first time. Dan helped me. He's a really nice guy. 2 oz each of Christmas Cookie, Boswell's Best and Dan suggested Cherry Cobbler. I'm looking forward to trying Boswell's blends.

Thanks to all of you. Just a quick update, met with the chemo doctor Wednesday and radiation doctor today. I'll be starting treatment in the next week or so. It's a level 3 astrocytoma. Not the worst but still malignant, unfortunately. I hate bringing it up because so many others deal with way...

Hey everyone, Just want to let you all know I'll be on a bit of a break for awhile. Last Thursday morning I scared my wife by having a seizure at 4am. Went to the hospital and they found a brain tumor in my right frontal lobe. Had surgery last Friday and they got most of it. Should know by next...

I used a cheapy p.o.s. until I bought a Blazer Little Buddy. Lame name, great lighter. Interesting that a few have had trouble with their "little buddy." :laugh: :whistling: Mine has been great so far. Makes me think of Gilligan and the skipper.

I'm running heartfelt in mine due to no "litter pearls" or the like being available in my area. I'm more than satisfied with heartfelt beads. Use whatever works for you. No condensation problems in mine due to it being in our basement. I unplug it during the winter months. The internal fan runs...

Aliens, dude. Drill baby, drill!

Shamefully I missed it.

2000 maduros. They have the taste and price that can't be beat. IMHO. :thumbs:

Sorry, Gary, but your princess is in another castle. Seems BnB is MIA. ???

A shindig at your parent's place? Beware of underage girls.

Let me know how that works out for you.

Looks heavenly. Have fun!

Have a great Birthday! Thanks for being you.

That, right there, is a great idea. Kids need to be exposed to things early in life. Sure, they need to learn about the good Lord and morals and whatnot but have you noticed how many kids only get "introduced" to smoking as a terrible bad thing? It's just a foreign thing many kids don't seem to...

Good luck! Those TV shows CAN be a path to stardom but they aren't the ONLY path. Just keep honing your craft. Have fun!

I can't add much to what others have already stated. But I too have read many of the books about him and seen the BoB movies. He was truly an inspiration. I wish there were more men like him in today's society.
