I have a bit of an odd situation - and need a bit of advice.  I have an 18 ct travel humidor.  It's one of those plastic boxes with the clasps, pressure release valve, blah, blah, blah.  It's a good little herf box.    The problem started when I left it closed up tight with a few cigars in it -...

I'm new to fantasy football this year, and have no idea what I'm doing. I'm wondering which defense I should run this weekend: Dallas @ Denver or Chicago vs. Detroit. Any thoughts? Edit to add: My 2 defensive teams are Dallas and Chicago.

I am a self-proclaimed Bratalia whore. It all started when Andy gave me one about a year and a half ago. They were already scarce at that point. I put out an APB for more of them to the BOTL's here on CP, and themoneycollector came through. He found a B&M with a small supply, and I ended up...

Despite my strong viewpoint about the media's ability to distort the public's perception of the severity of an issue like swine flu - I am not immuned to influence. So, having a few cold symptoms today - I felt concerned enough to go look up the symptoms of swine flu. I found the following -...

I was prepping a bomb this morning, and it got me thinking; Am I doing this because other BOTL's have been generous to me in the past, and paying it forward is the right thing to do - OR - am I doing this because it clears out room in my humis, which allows me to rationalize buying more sticks...

Last night at Jaxx in Springfield, VA, I attended a punk show of legends. It was the DC area stop of the So-Cal Punk Invasion Tour featuring Fear, Agent Orange, and D.I. There were two other bands there, as well; Total Chaos and Bloodhook. I'd never heard of either one, and wouldn't have...

I bought some Padilla Signature 1932 robustos about a year ago. I was anxious to try one, and did so after letting them rest for about a week. My experience was lackluster. I mean, it wasn't a bad cigar. It was pretty, had a nice draw, and burned beautifully. However, the flavor was...

Today I was having one of those arbitrary thoughts about how much I love my 10 hole Doc Martens. It's a bit chilly and rainy today - and they're just perfect. Don't get me wrong - I love living in flip-flops in the summer...but the Docs are the shiznit! What are you faves?

About six months ago, a BOTL gifted me a CAO Britalia. It was probably one of the best smokes I've ever had...certainly in the top 5. They were, of course, limited edition - and impossible to find. But, I put up a WTB post here on CP, and a CP brother came to the rescue! Thanks Alan!!!

I bought a used humidor several months ago that included a used Cigar Oasis humidifier, but no instructions or manual came with it. I checked the Cigar Oasis website - but the model I have is older, and I couldn't find the manual online. The unit is black, and there is no digital display. The...

When I was a kid, I found this trunk in our basement storage room...and dubbed it the M*A*S*H trunk. My parents ended up giving it to me about 10 years ago, and I've just used it to store crap I don't use very often...Christmas tree ornaments mostly. My wife and I separated about a year ago...

I moved into the DC area in 1974, and have seen a whole bunch of ups and downs with the Redskins. In recent years...more downs than ups. So this year, new coach; Jim Zorn. The guy has never been a head coach before. Immediately...I'm thinkin', "Great. Another idiotic Dan Snyder personnel...

I'm not all that concerned about whether or not these are real, as they were given to me (not by a CP member). However, I am trying to learn about how to tell a fake when I see one. Much of the information I see on distinguishing fakes describe the box...and these were given to me as singles...

This was sent to me years ago - good stuff: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO WOMEN EVERYWHERE ..... FROM A MAN WHO'S HAD ENOUGH Learn to work the toilet seat. Don't allow it to outsmart you. If it's up, put it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down. If you won't...

I've been looking for an excuse to try Playboy cigars...and I think I just found it in my email: Ladies & Gentlemen The wait is over, the biggest event ever, the event that every one is raving about, the event that every one is waiting for THE NEW PLAYBOY EVENT Meet Miss June 2006...

I think this is a pretty clear statement about my passion. Edit: Corrected idiotic spelling mistake. :blush:

I've been into bicycles virtually my whole life. I worked as a mechanic in a Schwinn shop (back when there was such a thing) in the 80's. I raced BMX, then got into riding ramps and flatland freestyle. Later I got into road bikes, and moutain bikes. Basically, if it has two wheels, I dig it...

I'm expanding my storage capability with another humidor soon, and decided it was a good time to update my inventory. I visit another cigar site that has a "virtual humidor" feature, and although I use it - it needed updating. Here's a link: JayBay's Virtual Humidor Anyway, here's a little...

Last night I was lucky enough to have a buddy call me up with an extra ticket to go see Rush at the Nissan Pavillion here in Northern Virginia. I knew we had lawn seats, so I took some nice sticks with me to enjoy. I started off with an ISOM Bolivar belicoso, which lasted me through the first...
