First of three smallish orders to arrive (all made the same day). This one is from Small Batch, who I think is who I used to get boxes of RoMa Craft Cromagnon Venus from when those could still be had. That was a great cigar. Wish they'd bring it BACK! But anyway, Guardian of the Farm sampler &...

Hmmmm. Well, I joined in '08, when the politics on the cigar forum I was on just completely lost its shit. 😂 So this was a welcome respite. Since joining I've done newbie & regular passes, AVB's Scotch buys, trades, Secret Santas, bombs, all of that. Interacted with a lot of damn fine people...

Pulled out something special for Shogun. And omigods what an episode tonight! Next week's finale is going to be LIT. 😳 ~Boar

Needed to use up the last of the queso panela while it was still good (fresh cheeses turn FAST!) so . . . green salad with grilled queso & poached egg. ~Boar

Alec Bradley American torpedo, Maker's Mark & the S1 Fallout finale! :cool: Great show. Tied all the story arcs together, gave us a big finish & left a little on the table & a nice setup for S2 if they get one. ~Boar

Wait, what? If that was a disguise does that make you someone who . . . . LIKES prostate exams? Not kink shaming, just . . . asking. 😏 ~Boar

Speaking of Cacio de Pepe .... kind of just made this one up on the spur of the moment. Tortellini de Pepe with grilled shrimp & tomatoes. ~Boar

I'm halfway through and loving it. The flashbacks are a choice for sure but the action & effects & dialogue are golden. ~Boar

Movie night! Tai Chi Hero, the sequel to Tai Chi Zero. Only steampunk kung fu movies I've ever seen! 😂 ~Boar

Cacio de Pepe with grilled asparagus, Gulf shrimp & hot Italian sausage 😋 That Cacio de Pepe's been turning into a a bit of a go-to side dish around here. So easy, so quick & so GOOD. ~Boar

"Some?" 🤔 🤣🤣🤣 ~Boar

I haven't had many of either, but yeah, I think so. This was included in one of Jack's recent Opus X samplers & was just an amazing smoke. ~Boar

Good times! :cool: ~Boar

Another San Cristobal but tonight we're watching FALLOUT on Amazon. One episode in & it's freakin' WILD. ~Boar

Wild episode! Mariko is a trip. There's so much going on under that calm, poised exterior it's scary! And the seppuku scene. Holy shit. ~Boar

Fresh pineapple. I have a classic combo of asparagus, pineapple, red bell pepper & cashews that I do with the shrimp in Thai peanut sauce.but for the ginger pork I just used the pineapple & red bell pepper. Same sauce, actually, just with a ton of fresh grated ginger & more coconut milk added...

The basics are pretty simple. You need a chicken wire enclosure tall enough for a door you can walk through, and an attached coop with nesting boxes you can access from the outside, for egg gathering. There's plans out there in all price/skill ranges. Start with Mother Earth News or Rodale...

Favorite cigar, favorite show. Nubbed a San Cristobal watching Shogun. ~Boar

Ginger Pork in Thai Coconut Curry. 😋 I've been cooking stir fry for about 40 years now, ever since a Korean landlady taught me how. One thing I love about this kind of cooking is it's never the same dish twice---as long as you've got the requisite knife & frying skills & understand a little...
