I'm not ashamed to say I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. A very good friend of mine, a man I've known for over 20 years, died today at the age of 62. Leaves a wife and 4 children, 2 still at home. Needless to say, this is not a good time of the year for something like this. If you could...

Man oh man ... life can be cruel, that's for sure. My best friend has been fighting for his life for the last two months following botched heart surgery. Today I learned the situation is futile and he is to be removed from life support as soon as his out-of-town relatives can get here. This is a...

... and am ready to annoy once again.

I had a wonderful time on my birthday this past Tuesday. Spent the day with family and friends and then went out for a nice dinner. :)

Planning a trip to western Europe in the spring, and thus need to replace my ancient digital camera as well as explore options for taking video. I'm a (soon to be) retired old man on a fixed income, so top of the line ultra sophisticated and expensive equipment would be out of consideration...

Once again, my good friend Uptown Isy set me up with a box of wondrous beauties! Oddest box I ever saw though...sort of like a trapezoidal pizza box! :laugh:

My friends know me as a Crown Royal junkie from way back. Being on the US-Canadian border, I've loved this fine whiskey since before it was cool. Although I generally eschew something when it becomes popular, I've stayed loyal to CR due to the fact that I just plain LIKE it. My good friend...

Thanks to my friend Gary (Ironpeddler) for his very thoughtful and unique gift! :thumbs:

Lost my Mom early this morning. The gal was 93+ years old and still feisty right to the end, but she just plain wore out and couldn't go on any longer. I imagine right about now she's filling my old man in on what he missed around here in the 30 years since he passed from this life... and the...

To properly commemorate my recent 60th birthday, I decided to light up a La Flor Dominicana Salomon that I had procured from el alcalde de Kingston NY, Uptown_Isy. He promised me that it would be a memorable smoke and indeed it was. In appearance, the Salomon showed flawless construction..nice...

To commemorate my first year of membership on CigarPass, but more importantly in memory of a close cigar-smoking friend who passed away on Memorial Day, I am offering the gift of a nice fiver to one of you newest of the newbs out there. The deal is this...if your sign-up date on CP is between...

If PARADE magazine comes in your sunday paper, you'll see a scholarly article by a renowned medical expert telling us how dangerous cigars are. It even alleges that there are more mortal toxins in cigars than cigarettes. Geez...I sure wish I had seen an article like this before I got addicted...

Just received the shocking news that my eldest son's father-in-law passed away this evening in Chicago at the age of 65 - much too early to leave this world. He was a second generation Irishman who loved his family greatly and was loved much in return. I only had the privilege of knowing him for...

This past Monday, Ironpeddler and Doc Wylie converged on Uptown-Isy at his comfortable B&M in Kingston NY. As you would expect, Isy and his crew rolled out the welcome mat and a splendid time was had by all! To commemorate the occasion, an Illusione -23- culebra was shared along with great...

So my buddy Paul (Touchemup) and I are out at the "Rez" buying some smokes a couple weeks ago and sitting on the counter is a big ol' Padilla 1932 humidor with a sign "Buy a Padilla and get a chance to win this humidor"...I like the '32's so I include one with tmy purchases. The guy makes no...

The Buffalo Bills just announced the signing of Terrell Owens. How much more desperate can they get? :laugh:
