Any of you Dallas folks know? I love the Salt Lick down outside of Austin. I'm looking for someplace like that with proper Texas bbq (brisket, sausage ribs!). (-: Anyplace close by that you recommend? JimK Edited to say I've been to County Line and the place that cuts off your tie. About 10...

Instead of showing every post in a thread, the forum shows the original post and then a little flow chart of responses. Did I mess up a setting or is this happening for everyone? JK

I drink it up.

Anybody know MSRP on the tins? Is there a little vig for the tin itself or is it just 3 X MSRP for the particular size? JK

So all this week, I've been gutting one of the rooms in my house. I'm talking everything, paint, electrical, new wood floors, baseboards, everything. So along with everything else, checking the mail has fallen by the wayside. I went and get the mail just now, and brought everything in except a...

A spoof on hardcore rap videos with two extremely white guys (Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg) rapping about going to see The Chronicles of Narnia. See the funniest thing from SNL in the last five years.

I recently bought a couple of these cutters and I really like them. They are like a normal double gullotine cutter with finger handles on each end, but one side is closed, so the cigar doesn't go all the way through. They are branded (I have a Cusano and a Habano Cohiba). They cut really well...

I just received the special I ordered from JR last week. He is offering 5 Trinidad toros or robustos, a trinidad ashtray, and a leather cigar case. I have friends who go gaga over these NC trinidads, so they are giveaways. I can always use another ashtray, and this one is nothing special, just...

I was at the Havana Club in Cozumel over the weekend. In general, Cozumel took a pretty big hit from Wilma. A lot of businesses are not there anymore, especially on the waterfront. A lot of the second story businesses are gone, while the businesses below them seem to have fared better. Luckily...

Welcome, Bob. I see you just joined! JK

I'm going to Cozumel in a couple of days, and wanted to get the latest on where to buy/smoke the precious. As I understand it, the place I have been to (with the balcony across the street from the water, by the smaller docks) is owned by an unsavory fellow who might have fakes? The new place is...

Well, it took me a year and a half, but it is upon me. So a contest is in order. And like myself, it is a strange one. The Rules: 1. To participate, you MUST NOT own the MRN Encyclopedia. If you do not know what that is, chances are you can participate. 2. The first person to post the correct...

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Harris for a smoke or ten at one of our cigar-friendly establishments in Sarasota. Harris laid some crazy sticks on me, some H Upmann, an Anejo, etc. I had never even seen some of these before, much less smoked them! It was a real pleasure, and...

After hearing mixed reviews of this odd vitola (4x50), it was with some trepidation that I pulled this KMM May 04 from my humidor. The construction was beautiful, with a nice medium wrapper, and as perfect a triple cap as I have ever seen. There were no incosistencies in the wrapper. Pre-cut...

My thoughts and prayers are out to all my New Orleans BOTLs. Hopefully you are all evacuated and safe. I saw this bulleting posted on CW. I hope it does not play out this way. 490 WWUS74 KLIX 281550 NPWLIX URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 1011 AM CDT SUN...

Saturday night I smoked an excellent cigar from a cab that has been nothing but pleasure. A spicy little number that always treats me right. A real dark beauty, aged from 2001. The cigar tasted like a cross between a bad cigarette and nothing. All I could taste was the heat. But I made the...

I am working in Altamonte Springs, FL for a few days, which is a little Northeast of Orlando. Does anyone know of any good shops, bars, etc., that are close by? I found the website for Corona Cigars, but I was hoping for something on this side of Orlando, so I don't have to deal with rush hour...

It arrived today in a huge crate almost 6 feet tall. After 4 and a half months of waiting, it is finally in its new home. I heeded the advise of several FOGs, and got a size more than I needed. And then I just went completely overboard. I got an Aristocrat Plus THC which is the cooled version...

Those of you who know what I'm talking about, uh, know what I'm talking about. JK

I will be staying at the Marriot Marquis in downtown Atlanta the rest of this week. Can any Atlantans recommend good smoke shops nearby? Or any good steak houses? JK
