I was honored yesterday to have the opportunity to spent the better part of the day whisky tasting at a friend’s house. This is no average collection, I estimate there is over 200 bottles of Scotch, Bourbon and whisky. Completely overwhelming. There are some very rare bottles in this collection...

Anyone going? This is an outstanding event with tons of food, booze and cigars. Music is the main theme this year with a number of good bands.   http://www.cigarexpo.net/

Funny stuff...    These are actual comments made by South Carolina Troopers that were taken off their car videos. 1. “You know, stop lights don’t come any redder than the one you just went through.” 2. “Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch after you wear them a...

This looks like it is going to be one hell of an event. The Leaf Cigar Bar (Famous Smoke Shop) has a dinner set for Sept 27th with the Drew Estates. They have a 7 couse meal planed paring with Macallan Scotch and Drew Estate cigars. Cut and paste from their email: DREW ESTATE TICKETS ON SALE...

Anyone have a Csonka Valet Humidor? I have a bunch of traveling to do over the next few months and am looking for something to get the cigars there in one piece and not all dried out. My only hesitation is this thing is pricey. On the other hand I like the size compared to some of the plastic...

I ran across this today on the Gizmodo web site. I've never heard about anything like this before, interesting concept. Definitely a new twist to smoking. http://www.ploom.com/pax

Friends of ours took us on their annual ride to a local winery here in Pa. We arrived at the Long Trout Winery and stepped back in time to the 60’s. The place was an absolute blast, great people, good wine and a beautiful setting back in the woods. They have a bar to belly up to try their...

Last night I attended a Fuente Cigar Dinner and has the opportunity to meet and chat with Cynthia, Liana and Carlos Fuente Sr. There was great food, outstanding cigars and top shelf scotch. Everyone received three cigars, and there were three servings of Chivas, the 12, 18 and the Regal Royal...

With summer coming in quickly I have already seen the temp in my humidors exceed 70 deg a few times. Since I do not maintain a consistent temp at or below 70 in my house I have decided to start looking at a wine cooler arrangement. With a twist, since I have a nice cabinet humidor already, I...

Well, I've been bombed By Master Blaster. Extremely nice selection of sticks and some other items that will be enjoyed, I have an iPod on the bike. I must say very very nice, well done and greatly appreciated. Thank you Mr. Blaster…

After seeing the great work being done making ash trays I was inspired to take a shot at one. I have a lathe in the shop that I haven’t touched in a year and a bunch of scrap wood. This was done from scrap cherry that I glued up and an old chunk of copper pipe. The wood is from a downed...

Last month we had some serious issues with specific hardware at work. The vender sent in engineers to help us resolve the problems. On of the guys was a BOTL and a biker so we hit it off. I helped him out during his visit, gifted him some sticks, sent him to the right places to make his two week...

I was a a local B&M last night and asked for Tatuaje Blacks. The guy ran in the back and came out with a sampler pack with three different sizes, a patch and this little tool. I am not sure exactly what the heck it is, I think it's a cigar rest. However at the end is a slot that I have no clue...

I was at a Padron dinner last night where Jorge introduced a new 64th Anniversary size which I believe is being called the Patriarch. It is a 6 x 60 version of the existing series that will be available in about 4 to 6 months. I was able to purchase 1 of the 15 numbered and dated boxes that were...

I thought this might interest some. I attended a cigar dinner at the Leaf (Famous Smoke Shop) last year and had a great time, food was fantastic and they are a great host. Tickets are on sale and I expect they may go fast. Jorge Padron Dinner!!!

I have an oppurtunity to attend a cigar dinner featuring Preferidos which I know nothing about. The meal sounds great, paired with some fine scotch and three different Preferidos. Plus you walk away with a Preferido sampler which they say is worth $100. Opinions on the cigars would be appreciated.
