    Pleasant Surprise!

    One of our salesmen went to Vegas last week for the ISC (Security) trade show. He stopped by Casa Fuente and bought me an Opus X Perfection #2. I believe I will put it back and enjoy it in early June while enjoying the evening view from the cabin we've rented on the lake. What a pleasant...

    A long day, self medication.

    A long frustrating day at work... no boring details for your sanity. A quick but tasty smoke via a Petite Tatuaje Reserva and two fingers of Glenlevit 12yo. Just what the doctor ordered! Have a great Thanksgiving all! 73 de W1SBY

    Just like a bad penny...

    After a long hiatus I have decided that Cigar Pass could again use some of my charm . Health, work and money... not enough of some, too much of others, is what precipitated my absence. I still enjoy a good cigar, and on occasion I actually buy one. The main go to is whatever is cheap, Quorum...

    What a day!

    Last night I prepared two pork shoulders (boston butts to some of you). One I brined in salt and molasses over night, and this morning put on a rub consisting of ground cumin, corriander, onion powder, chili powder, and fennel seeds. The other I smeared with plain old yeller mustard followed...

    Did Schwarzenegger Go Cuban?

    As reported by Foxnews.com News story I like the statement: ""He stopped and bought a cigar and smoked it on the way to the airport," spokesman Aaron McLear said. Was it a banned Cuban cigar? "There's no way of telling now because he smoked it," McLear said." That there is funny, I don't...

    The Half Hand strikes

    So, here I was setting in my LazyBoy doing some homework (never take a salaried job folks!), minding my own business. The mail man knocks on the door and makes me sign for a package. I take it ever so gently as I do not recognize the return address. BOOOOOM! Ok ya Putz, you got me! I am...

    I said pay it forward!

    Well, well, well... I go out of town for a few days for some much needed rest and relaxation (train trip to Albequerque to watch a minor league hockey game!), and I get a call from my son. "Dad, I don't know what the hell just happened. I opened the mailbox and the schitt hit the fan...

    Is it just me?

    It seems like the newer version of software is slower than before the upgrade. Noticeably. Also, I got a "Internal Server Error" screen a few minutes ago as I was trying to refresh the new posts list.

    Wow! 1 year...

    I managed to miss the fact that I joined CP on September 7, 2005. What a ride it has been! You guys have been a gas, kind, helpful, courteous, (ok, sometimes anyway :)) Because of you I have tried many cigars that I would have never had access to, or even know about. I have enjoyed chat...

    Fzzzzzttt! <poof>

    Well well well... Mr. Peat tried to sneak one in on me. Rat bastage! It would have been full scale annihilation, but for the horrid heat and humidity out there today. Lucky for me and the postman :D To protect you from any law enforcement investigation, I will destroy the evidence :sign...

    Humidor Modifications

    As promised here are pictures of the cooling unit I put in my humidor. I used a DDC controller for the logic. A simple thermostat would have worked, but I do building controls for a living, so why not go all the way :) The actual cooling unit is a peltier device, it runs on 12v power at about 5...

    Dang that hurts!

    I was the target of an unprovoked attack! Devious bastid! I open the mail box, and all was well, then BOOM! all hell broke loose! Little pieces of paper and bubble wrap flew all over the neigborhood, the neighbors thought I was nuts rolling around in the middle of the street. One even said I...

    Devil Doc

    I figured I'd be nice to a fellow scouter and send this guy a few sticks. Nothing fancy, just a few sticks I enjoy. What did this dastardly Devil do? He sent my box right back to me... Of all the... Some kind of... He loaded it up with a VERY nice selection of smokes that I really enjoy...

    Outlaw Cigars

    What does one do on the Saturday after Thanksgiving? Why go on a 700 mile roadtrip with his old man to smoke a couple cigars with his newfound BOTL's Smokyballs and OutlawD of course! Yea, crazy I know, but fun for sure. Brad and Dirick were busy, so didn't have a lot of time to jaw with...
