I had this idea after trying to figure out how to organize my business cards. I work in sales and get a ton of them from tradeshows, buying conferences, and the like. I figured this would be a cool and easy way to have them on my desk while still looking nice and uncluttered.     It was way...

Just 86ed my cable bill via Hulu Plus. The one big hurt is not getting the Brewers once the season starts. Wanted to see if anyone out there has used MLBTV and what they think of it. Especially if anyone has used it via the PS3 app. Just trying to take a look at my options. Fortunately Bob...

I swear one of these days I'll get to post something cigar related. It was -8 F (-22 C) here today. So that might take a while. But I did end up joining twitter. To my surprise I found a wealth of knowledge at my finger tips that I would have never found otherwise. Articles from Harvard...

I was working with a sales manager from another company today and the topic came to beer. I mentioned I enjoy a good beer and was able to sample some great ones thanks to a cigar forum I am a part of. He then proceeds to tell me he is a cigar smoker as well. I rarely find anyone that doesn't...

I just wanted to take a minute to wish you all a safe and happy New Year. This year has flown by for me and I'm sure for some of you as well. I got to see my little guy grow up before my eyes from a bump on a belly to walking for the first time today. In 2011... I hope you are recognized for...

If you are in sales you have most likely heard, experienced, or heard someone who has experienced all of these things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVLAvix-dX0 It does have some F bombs if that is frowned upon where you are.

Hey all, Haven't been around in a while. My wife and I recently took over her Grandfathers business after he passed away. I have never been busier in my life. We work our day jobs then come home and work another 4-5 hours at the business. We put in about 28-30 hours on the weekend. Things will...

I have hit the 200 post mark (and then some). So I offer up a contest... Pick the winner and margin of victory for the UW vs. MSU game. Whoever's closest wins. For a Tie breaker guess how many yards John Clay will rush for without going over. (Example: Badgers by 3, 107 yards) Rules 1. Must...

I got a Xikar lighter from my father for a birthday present last year. I have some issues with it not lighting every time (1 out of 5-10 clicks gets a flame). Every time I think about sending it back in I end up lighting but a cigar instead and don't want to be without it for long. Anyone have...

We've heard it may be coming... One small step for America... One giant step for Americans who smoke Cuban cigars. (Doesn't quite have the same ring but it's still music to my ears) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100817/ap_on_bi_ge/us_us_cuba

After a quick work out, I hit the front porch to light up a cigar that has been calling my name for some time. The stick looked great with a nice construction. A little give but not too much. I clipped the cap, toasted the foot, and gave it a couple draws. I immediately tasted what I can only...

I searched for this but I'm fairly certain no one is as stupid as I am to even consider this as a possibility. So here we go.... I have a fridge and a freezer (mini college dorm size) that are sitting empty and I would like to convert them to Fridgidor/Freezidor when my stash has expands. I...

Contest Time! I have enjoyed this forum so much and wanted to put a contest together to share in some Bacony goodness. Rules 1. Bomb a S/BOTL you have not bombed. 2. Include a Secret/Family/Favorite Recipe (Index card will do, not the meal itself) 3. Post the DC# here. 4. You must be an active...

I enjoyed an Opus X Power Ranger last night. I loved the smoke and felt pretty good afterwards. But in the middle of the night I had a dream I went to the mailbox and it was stuffed with those pesky little flat rate boxes. It must have had 4 or 5 of them. I look at the return addresses and they...

I was lucky enough to win one of the Fundraising Memorial Raffles. I was very eager to enjoy one of the cigars and thought this would be a good time to post my first ever cigar review. Please bare with me. I am not a cigar expert and my refined pallet when it comes to food does not cross over as...

Our little man finally made it (sorry for the sappiness to follow) My wife's water broke at 6:45 am. We just got a full night's rest, the snow storm just passed, our hour drive was a breeze, and it was on his due date. We got settled at the hospital and there wasn't much to report. They gave...

Today I will be bearing the 25 degree (and dropping) temperatures to enjoy the outdoor Hockey game between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Wolverines from Ann Arbor. It should be a great game and a fantastic time with friends. We have a party of about 20 people. Even my 9 month pregnant wife will...

My wife and I are expecting our first child in the next couple weeks. She's getting pretty big and pretty uncomfortable. So I decided to get her a diamond necklace for all the trouble of having the kid grow inside of her. It wasn't anything spectacular but she was very pleased. Well I thought...

So I am a meat salesman. I am the guy that convinces the chef or owner to put something new and unique on the menu. I am doing a training for some of the new sales people and I get to show them a whole unsliced Applewood smoked Bacon slab. I wanted to check in with my fellow foodies and see if...

A friend of mine recently came back from a trip south of the border. He brought back a case of Cubans that I can tell are obvious fakes. The labels do not line up when they are in the box. The colors vary far too much from cigar to cigar. As well as a few other slightly off details. So he is...
