For Christmas I received a Zune 4GB (it was confused with the Sansa Fuze 4GB that I wanted, but no matter). Overall I have been pleased with it. It is easy to use and, other than not being able to completely uninstall it and then do a clean install, it has given me no problems. Up to this...

Hey all, Here's what I've got, see if you can help me out: Straight apple, no brand or markings. Stem appears to be original. the left side says "VIRGIN DE LUXE" and under that is "IMPORTED BRIAR." "DE" and "IMPORTED BRIAR" is in the same font, but smaller point. Medium brown finish...

I have a Cuban Crafters Digital Hygrometer I don't need. I'm not certain about its accuracy, the battery is dead, and there are no instructions BUT...if anyone wants it, let me know. TampaSupremo

I'm sure we've all at some point made the mistake of drinking sloe gin. That sweet, syrupy $8 a bottle crap next to the blue razz-ma-tazz. Well, there is an alternative. Plymouth Gin has been importing a sloe gin that's actually made with Plymouth gin (very tasty), sloes, and sugar. It's...

My brother is putting together a film festival of sorts with what's basically the toughest hombres from the 60's and 70's (Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, etc). I can't make it, but I wanted to send him some cheroots for his party. He's not a cigar smoker, so I'm not going to...

OK, so I've been dragged kicking and screaming into the new millennium with the Christmas gift of a Zune. So I'm tooling around and came upon this: Pipe Talk Podcast I downloaded all of them and listened to about 3-4 so far. Pretty good stuff. Enjoy! TampaSupremo

My wife went to Puff 'n Stuff today to find a Christmas present for me. She had our 2-year old son with her and he wanted to go in the walk-in, so she went in with him so he could pick out a cigar for daddy. He picked out a Don Tomas Clasico Allegro (probably because it was in a bright yellow...

OK, last night when I went to refill my Puck with distilled water, I accidently grabbed the jug filled with the wife's home made detergent. I'm sure you can imagine my reaction when a glob of detergent landed in my beads. Anyway, I now need a replacement humidification unit. I was looking at...

I see it advertised periodically. I don't see myself buying any anytime soon, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it-style, flavor, etc. I'm assuming it is not an aromatic. TampaSupremo

Did a search but mostly got one-hit glass pipes. I'm looking for a small, pocket-sized or so pipe with a small capacity bowl. Something that smokes quickly. Any suggestions? BTW, has anyone tried >THIS< vest pocket pipe? I'm not sure I like the look of it, though it may be just what I'm...

I keep my tobacco in jars on my desk, which means that I need something to put one or two pipefuls of tobacco in when I go out. What do y'all use? I guess I need to invest in a pipe/tobacco pouch, but in the meantime... Thanks TampaSupremo

A couple of weeks ago I brewed my first batch of beer using my Cooper's brewing kit. After setting it up and mixing water, malt extract, and yeast I set it aside. Unfortunately, I saw no CO2 bubbling through the airlock like it was supposed to. I figured it was a bust. Last night I started...

Hey folks, I currently have a set of thinner, double 6 dominoes with colored pips. I'm looking for a durable, high quality set of double 9 dominoes in a professional/tournament size with single color pips (preferably black pips, but white is ok if the domino itself is colored). Price isn't a...

Ok, aside from cigars... ;) How often do you make the choice of buying American-made over foreign imports or at least try to find an American-made alternative to whatever it is you are buying? I've been trying to do this for the past few years and while some things are pretty much hopeless...

Richard Wright died of cancer today: Richard Wright dead at 65 Fortunately, I got to see them perform when I was in high school back in '94. Still got the t-shirt, too (although it's pretty thin nowadays). Bummer. TampaSupremo

Last night I was working a job and decided to light up a CAO MX2 maduro (toro). I noticed that while the smoke itself was nice, the tip left a salty taste in my mouth which was kinda beat. I've never had this happen with a maduro (or any other smoke for that matter). Anyone know what's up...

Hey all, I was not aware (and this may be one of those "how did he not know that?" instances) that other countries in the world did not use the same playing cards that are so popular here (52+2 jokers). I was messing around on the interweb and discovered Spanish card decks. Spanish...

My father has a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista. It was extremely slow so I checked his system and found he was only running 512MB of RAM. I went out with him and bought 1GB and installed it this afternoon. It's running faster and more smoothly now. When I was installing the 1 gig I...

Hey all, I'm leaving on a much needed vacation to visit my folks in Tampa. I'll definitely be making a stop to Tampa Sweethearts, but I wanted to try some of the locally made fare. La Herencia de Cuba (Ybor City) and Gonzalez Habano Cigars (W Tampa right near La Teresita-yum!) are two...

Any good? TampaSupremo
