I was just catching up on my cigar reading when I came across this ... http://halfwheel.com/report-trump-plans-reversal-obamas-cuba-rules-next-month/152262 It would be a bummer to see the recent lifted restrictions put back into place.

Work is taking me to Washington University this week, but I'll have some free time to explore any cigar shops in the local area. Anyone have any recommendations? I'll be staying close to the university. Not interested in doing anything touristy as I've done that on prior trips. I figure a good...

interesting human interest article in today's paper. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/is-this-the-final-burn-for-floridas-cigar-city/2016/12/02/c7e63ba6-b671-11e6-b8df-600bd9d38a02_story.html?utm_term=.7788d138769f

Today, August 8th, 2016, marks the day that the cigar world officially enters the unknown. Today is the day that all new cigars have to go through FDA testing and/or "substantial equivalence" approval BEFORE they can be sold. Of course no actual processes, rules, forms, or guidelines exist...

I would sooooo get one for my patio if it wasn't so Texas themed. But for you Texans... http://halfwheel.com/wicked-anvil-the-cannonball/119760

There I am minding my own business, still down and (practically) out after the loss of my dog when out of the blue the door front door blows off the hinges. Nothing like a random act of destruction to lift my spirits. MNBrian - thank you, brother. That meant a lot. And now apparently I need to...

Here's hoping for the best.

Otis has been by my side through thick and thin for over 13 years. But last night it was clear that he was ready for one last trip, this time to pass over the rainbow bridge. The vet will be coming by later this afternoon. Damn that's a tough decision to make, but it's the right thing to do. I'm...

Another reason to think that my GF is the "one." She took it upon herself to get me my first pipe for Christmas, set me up with a nice scotch and just sent me outside to try out my new toy. I have little clue what the hell is doing, but love her dearly for encouraging me to try out this...

I open the mailbox and ... Golfgar's nuke hits me hard. Time to order another mailbox. Many thanks Larry!!

The weather has been pretty wacky around the DC metro area these last few days - sunny one moment, pouring sheets of rain the next. Well, I was driving home and one of these microbursts popped up and it's started to pour cats and (pug) dogs. Entering my driveway I could see that my mailbox was...

Next week the local smoke shop that I try to support is having an event featuring George Sosa from Alec Bradley cigars. I usually try to attend these events and make use of the opportunity to buy a box or sample pack of the featured company. In this case though I know next to nothing of their...

Today was a good day. I just had a great 26 mile trail training run through Prince William Forest in preparation for my next race, the weather was absolutely stunning, I had a wonderful meal prepared for me by a stunning woman I've recently started to date, and then sent out on the deck to enjoy...

Anyone listen to any good cigar related podcasts? Doing a search I didn't turn up any recent discussions. I'm looking for something to listen to during my 75+ mile race this weekend. I'll have a fair amount of time to fill trying to think of anything but my ever growing fatigue.   

You give Cigar Pass a good name. Came home and what do I discover on my front stoop but a little of this... KABOOOM! What the hell happened here!? You guys are just awesome. Absolutely awesome. I'm sincerely thankful to all of you for welcoming me into this community and taking me under...

So perhaps a silly question, but when you guys first store boxes in your humidor, do crack them open? I get that in time even a closed box with adjust to the relative humidity level within the humidor, but I figured storing them initially would accelerate the process so that I can enjoy a...

I took the day off, cleaned the house and am now perched by my front window waiting for the delivery truck to bring my new Avallo humidor. Santa, I mean the truck driver can't arrive soon enough. I figure 5 or 6 days of letting it stabilize and then I get to transfer and organize my collection...
