Life is great, things are looking up. I never smoke alone anymore. One of the clients I work with is new to cigars so he’s dragging me back in. I warned him my cigar knowledge is state of the art if you go back in time 6-7 years. I’ve decided over the past couple of years that Don Carlos is my...

Thanks for the kind words… You guys are the best. God bless

So sad to hear about this. Ave Maria for all concerned. My deepest condolences Niko

And to think I was this close to buying a box of 2014 Winnie’s for less than $400. Life gives and life takes.

All sizzle no steak. I hate ‘em, with the minor exception of the infused tubos. Those are ok.

I’ve heard some analysis from MDs I trust recently that emphasized the simplicity and safety of the Pfizer vaccine. I just need to investigate the manufacturing process they are using to see if I trust it. The instability at room temperature is a good thing. I’m currently in a 14 day work...

Sleep is as important as exercise for long term well being. Seek balance.

In answer to the OP, fuck no.

I was lucky enough to have access to a -20°F freezer when I had a beetle incident, so I can attest that wiping down humidors with ammonia solution & freezing the cigars for 72 hours followed by a staged unfreezing process (0°F freezer followed by refrigerator) did not harm cigars (in fact they...

2 things strike me about this thread. First, whenever I see the name “AKPreacher” my first thought is an AK47 not Alaska or church. Second, somebody ought to compile a philosophy of cigars thread with all the careworn pithy quotes that explain cigar ethics & manners.
