I was thinking about this the other day. What are some the overlooked Cuban lines of cigars that are great, but just don't have the name notoriety. What I noticed is that most of the famous ones I tried, have a non-Cuban counterpart. Usually these aren't close to their Cuban namesakes. My...

Anyone try this one? Got a bottle and it is a great Ardbeg or Lagavulin like scotch. Tastes a little young, but not too harsh in the throat, which is what I like about it. Lots of peat and salt. However at $50 a bottle, Ardbeg and Laphroaig are still better buys in my opinion. Knock the...

Hi all, I need some suggestions on a nice single malt scotch that is 30 years old or made in 1981 for a BDAY celebration this next year. Scotch that I love the most so far is Tomintoul 27. If you all can suggest and get me to the right place I would appreciate it. Range $150-200. Thanks! -J

I started my first season of racing one design boats this year and absolutely love it! Today our usually foredeck was out with family, so I was asked to step up. The foredeck dude on most boats is responsible for getting the spinnaker pole up and taking care of any issues that pop up on the...

I just got a Mr. Beer kit from Woot. Well anyways I am planning on making some Holy West Coast Pale Ale for my first batch. I got some holy water from Easter last week and was going to add it. My gf says this is a sacrilegious act, but I say monks make beer and I am sure they bless crap out...

Interested in building an AR-15, especially with a possible administration change in policy coming up. Anyways looks like a lot of fun as well, like legos for adults. Just wondering if anyone else is interested in this type of stuff.

Today I ran in a 5 mile fun run race, I usually run during the weekdays, but don't consider myself a speed demon. The race today I finished at a little over 36 minutes, so I was pretty happy. Anyways I wasn't expecting anything at the awards ceremony, but when they announced the awards for...

Saw this on sportscenter today, good stuff, made me misty. :) Link, Work Safe

In the South crawfish season is upon us, and since Fat Tuesday is next week, I've been having a hankering for some mudbugs. Most people not from the gulf areas are pretty grossed out by crawfish, but I love em(poor man's lobster). Last year here in Austin a local grocery chain was selling...

I know you can't ship alcohol to places like Iraq and Afghanistan, but I have a buddy in Japan asking me for a specific type of beer. I just wanted to know if you can ship alcohol to bases overseas or if the rule is something like you can't but people do it anyways. Thanks in advance!

Just got off the line with a vendor I'm working with and DHL. I requested an item from a vendor in Cal to be sent expedited by 2-day delivery this past Sunday. Therefore, the idea is it should get here within the week. I get the tracking info today and indeed DHL received the package on...

My 5 year old nephew decided to do the New Jersey yodel in the back of the car I've been driving . Car has been reeking of vomit for the last couple of days and I've been trying everything to get the smell out to no avail. After scooping all the vomit out, I tried scrubbing with soap and water...

Happy Birthday Man! Hope the Lackland heat doesn't keep you down.

Just noticed that the edit function is now defunct. Wondering what caused this to happen? I kinda liked a way to edit my posts for mistakes or to add something to a post that I forgot.

Less than 30 days till the start of the college football season. Living on campus at UT, I got to see all the players report this past Sunday to all team practice. Even though they are my school's biggest rival, I wish em luck this season against OU. Makes me real excited for T-Day+1. Any...

Got back from Chicago yesterday, and had a great time. Anyways I wanted to ask all Chicago CPers, what is the deal with that shop in the Greek district called Jorgio Cigars? My fiance (Chicago native) wanted me to check out this place because she said whenever she went by it was always packed...

Updated 7-15 In honor of the Spurs victory over the Pistons, I am proposing a VICTORY PASS!!! The gimmick of this pass is that I am going to include a sampler of Texas Select cigars that are rolled right here in Spur Fan country. These sticks are hand rolled in store by a torcedor, and are...

Fellas, Wanted to know if storing your sticks standing up in a box is a bad idea. Reason why I'm asking is the humi is getting full and this currently is the best way to store without totally reorganizing everything. The sticks are Padron 64s so I wanted to store them in their own cedar box...

Had 2 JR coupons that I am not going to use. Each coupon is for $10 off any box of 20 or 25 Montecristo, Trinidad, RyJ, and H.Upmann cigars. PM me and I will send u you the coupon code. It expires at the end of this month and as of right now I won't use it. It can be used online at...
