Hey guys, I figured it's about time I get off my butt and actually post up some pics from my trip down to the factory.
First, these are the guys I who joined us on the trip. There were only four people scheduled, and thanks to that, we all got our own room.
From left to right: Tony, Dave...
Ok, so I've been on the hunt for cowboy boots for over the past two years, but living in NYC has made it somewhat difficult to see if I actually like them. Been fortunate enough to run across a store with a pair of Justin Lizards in my size, bought them, wore them, broke them in, and fell in...
Ok, so I heard about this special drink called mama juana, mainly found in the Dominican. It's essence is in the bottle, consisting of flowers, wood chips, and leaves to help re-ferment liquor (usually rum) to provide a bolder profile.
Ingredients I used:
Whole cloves
Chamomile
Cinnamon...
So, after watching the super juxtaposed game of the Jets vs Chiefs, I was absolutely amazed at Thigpen's performance. He's shown us some interesting abilities, smart football plays, and an impressive completion rating, not including his less than spectacular previous starts. I'm curious as to...
I recently had the opportunity to sample this scotch. Not much to say, not much to write home about. It had a spicy taste, the aroma was reminiscent of rubbing alcohol, and reminded me a bit of Oban without the smoothness or the complex flavours. A lot of words to summarize that I didn't...
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
When: Either the 29th or 30th of August, still debating on best day to go.
Time: Will be a night trip, yes looking for blues and/or stripers
Where: Sheepshead Bay. Last time Dan and I went from here, there were blues as big as your thighs!!
Cost...
Ok, in light of the upcoming fishing herf, I'm interested in smoking blue fish and stripes. But a few questions about these fish in general as I've never tried smoking fish yet.
1) Can I use any wood to smoke them?
2) Are they able to be cold smoked (lox style)?
3)If they can be cold smoked...
Just thought I'd pass this along as another heads up. Although I am probably breaking protocol on this since it's a "private auction".
Starting at $49.99 for a 10 pack.
2 things to keep in mind though.
1) Cbid is a sister site of Cigars International, so I'm no so sure about the quality...
So is there a major band change that I don't know about?
These are two PLPC from the same cab dated mid 07'. I used a quarter to show the relative size. The past year 06' had a completely different band in terms of registration and dimensions. Unfortunately I don't have one to show, but for...
Well, some of you might know that I've been doing a lot of home improvements in my backyard, and it looks plain horrible. Been thinking about getting a gazebo for several reasons, mainly to hide from the rain, a place to relax and find shade during the summer time when I'm doing backyard bbqs...
Having seen this box in person, a few things are odd about it.
The warranty seal is a bright lime green and missing the serial numbers usually located bottom center.
The factory/date stamp is almost illegible. Only the Factory Code FR is legible.
The Habanos Chevron don't have the words...
Just wanted to throw this out there, seeing as how a few of us are going to gather together at Merchants this coming Wednesday. I'll be there around 6pm. I hope they got some Pappy Van Winkle for me to sample.
Well, after eating a lot of lox this past year, I figure why not try to do it myself?
I was directed to this site by Justin on a recipe and some preparations. I also plan to purchase this smoker after Tom suggested it. Was thinking of getting some alder chips as well.
Summer's around the...
If you have ever went into a real Chinese restaurant, and ordered some chicken to go, they give you a small ounce or two of this kind of dip. It's really easy to make, and it actually goes well on all kinds of meats, for marinades, for dipping, for a slight topping, hell it can even replace...
