My wife and I are skiing Steamboat, arriving next Saturday, March 14th. Just checking if anyone is from the area that might want to meet up sometime during the week. The big questions: is there a place to enjoy a cigar in the Yampa Valley? A quick google search says Steamboat has a strict...

Well, I was checking my bead tubes in my humidors and coolidor (how in the hell did this happen? I thought one medium humidor was all I need; now I have five humidors of various sizes and a large coolidor). I had my spray bottle of distilled water and was recharging the beads -- something I've...

My daughter received a book from a relative titled "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell and she read it over the Christmas weekend. The basic premise is that scientific research into nutrition points to a vegan/macrobiotic diet leads to a healthier lifestyle and shows a higher probability of...

My father is currently in a coronary care unit -- in large part to a dysfunctional thyroid that's causing havoc with his body. Not sure what all of this means, but the words "guarded but stable" seem to be the terminology being used right now. I normally don't do this, but I know he can use...

I got sucked into one of these challenges when I was a newbie and lost a significant part of a day trying to come up with answers. I lost, but it was still fun -- oh, the quest.... Who is eligible? Anyone with a join date after me!!! (After December 19th, 2007) So here's the challenge. I...

I just received a phone call from my little brother and his wife delivered their first child -- a beautiful, healthy baby girl. This is my first time being an uncle and I'm ready to share the joy with some newbs! I'm going to visit my niece Bethany Grace on Friday -- and when I take off, I...

I wanted to make a very public thank you to Dave at W. Curtis Draper's in Washington D.C. for the outstanding customer service they showed me over the past six weeks. Here in Bloomington, Indiana we are limited as to what we can find in our local B&M -- not a very deep selection (some good...

I woke up this morning and decided I wasn't going to let today get off to the frenetic pace life seems to be going lately. A cup of coffee, a quick walk with the dogs, and a decision to do some work prep on my deck with a cigar I haven't tried yet. I went to my basement, looked through my...

I'm not only new to Cigar Pass, but to cigars in general. Thanks to Cigar Pass, I am now finding a range of cigars to enjoy -- but to date, I'm a one cigar a day guy. Even then, I'm lucky to get in two or three in a given week. Until tonight. :) After a hectic day of ripping up the lawn...

The Newbie 101 pass that is currently going on has one of Al Customized Padillas in the pass. None of us know much about the cigar -- it's history, composition, or value. Anyone (Al?) have any information to help us out? Thanks! Darryl

In the December 24th, 2007 Forbes there is an article about Salvatore Parisi, who not only loves to smoke great cigars but also use them as an investment. For example, Parisi purchased 15 Cohiba Behikes @ $375 -- and has seen them appreciate to $750 each over the past year. Similarly, he...
