Hi All: Been quite some time since I've been really active on this board. I've been lurking a lot more over the recent past and even did some purchases over PM with some folks that I've recognized from the "old days" of CP. I've moved a couple times since I was last active, and have lived in...

Hi All! It's been a while since I've posted, but I still try to check in with the boards fairly regularly. Lots going on since I last frequented the boards...moved to NY, have a "real" job since I've finished school, now have a 1 year old daughter (who gets most of my time and attention!) etc...

Well, I haven't been posting as much as I used to, but I still try to keep up with CP happenings as best I can these days. We are still settling into our new house in the Hudson Valley, and both my wife and I are loving our new jobs so far. The reason for this post is to ask for some help. My...

Well, I've been visiting the board very sporadically recently. I have been spending most of my time searching for jobs after graduating. I was recently offered a job in Tarrytown, NY and I'm really excited about it. I know there are a bunch of guys up in that area so I was looking for any...

Well, I've been scarce around the boards these past few months, but I'm still alive. After what seems like forever, I am finally defending my Ph.D. thesis in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology this coming Thursday! I have been spending most of my time writing up a couple of papers and then...

Gotta be quick here cause the wife is sitting right next to me. I could use some help here. Our first wedding anniversary is this weekend. One of my plans fell through, so I came up with another one, but need some computer help. I was thinking of taking some of our wedding pictures and...

Well, as some of you may know, my wife will smoke with me on occasion. Although, so only really smokes Havanah Honeys and CAO Flavors and all that crap. I have always know that there was hope for her for a couple reasons. When I first started smoking cigars, she tried a couple puffs of a...

Just wanted to brag a little...leaving at 4:30AM for the airport. I am headed down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week for a belated honeymoon with my beautiful new wife! Can't wait to get a taste of summer again in the midst of this cold weather we are getting up here. Also, wanted to...

My stash has not been growing too much recently because of my recent wedding, but some VERY generous BOTL have hit me with some bombs that need to be paid forward. Since I can't compete with many members' humidors, this contest is for the new guys. The prize will be a mix (5 pack plus a couple...

Well, I'll be breif for now, but I finally got married this past Saturday! It was an amazing ceremony and a day I will never forget. Needless to say, I am extremely happy and greatful to have her in my life. However, now that she is the beneficiary (sp?) she wants me to get a life...

I used to love getting mail. I would often be waiting in anticipation for some cigars. Maybe an order from Cbid that I forgot about, a 5er from a brother here on CP, the occasional bomb from one of you bastids, etc., etc. Well most all of that came to a screeching halt about 6 months ago...

A friend of mine (husband and wife) are going to be starting their own brewery and are having trouble coming up with a name for it. I am hoping that all of you guys might be able to give them some more ideas. The reason I think this is a good place to ask for help for naming a beer brewery...

When you are young, everyone always teaches you to respect police officers. You can go to them when you need help for whatever reason. They are supposed to be role models for all of us. I actually bought into this load of bullsh*t and respected all the police officers I have dealt with. It...

Well, I only have a few more weeks to back out ;) , but for now, I am planning on getting married on Sept. 2. I am having a (fairly tame) bachelor party this Saturday and would like to smoke a good one with some of the guys coming. They are all bringing smokes, but I still have not decided...

This is a warning to all of the BOTL on the board! Don't send anything to smitty0255 if you value your mailbox! All I did was send him an extra Xikar pouch that I had gotten for free, and this whacko goes and blows my mailbox to hell!!! I was just trying to be nice, what gives?! :p...

I smoked a Lempira Toro tonight. This is a "new" line of cigars at Holt's that's supposed to be a full-bodied "value" cigar. From talking to the sales people at the store, the big-wigs all tasted a bunch of value priced cigars, looking for a cheap, flavorful, full-bodied cigar. This one cost...

Am I the only loser at home watching this??? Actually I'm sitting at home nursing a cold and a beer ;). Rooting for the Steelers (who isn't?!) Got a bid in on the steelers winning it all with the combined score being 38 and have a box of Ashton's riding on it from a local cigar shop. Fingers...

So, for a couple months now, I've been getting pissed off at my "el cheapo" double guilletine(sp?) cutter. Did it's job for $8 but was definitely getting dull. So my fiance and I went out to grab a beer and talk about her year review at work. But that's not important! ;) What's important is...

I know there are a bunch of police officers on the board so I figured I could find some input here. In breif, here is my position: I am about a year away from finishing my PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Without going into details, I'm not all that excited about the job...

The following is the type of question that proves that I will ALWAYS be a newbie! Just got back from a Christmas vacation, and as a great gift I got a few humidors! Finally can move away from my tupperdors. (But knowing this site, I will fill them up soon and have to start another tupperdor!)...
