    Holiday themed cigars - yay or nay?

    It's all fun....some get with the Spirit of the Holidays by celebrating almost anything...just like egg nog....who drinks this stuff any other time of the year? I tend to go with cigars I know that I like but if you love to celebrate the Holidays with whatever it is that's out there...it's just...

    Best recipie for a smoked turkey....

    So many ways to prepare the bird....the most important thing is that it's done at the proper temperature to ensure that it's cooked. Everything else is about taste whether it's smoked, cooked, fried, BBQ'd or whatever. I love turkey and everybody should experiment with different ways to...

    This happens to this tree every November (mildly interesting)

    The miracles of nature. Sitting and having a cigar with my coffee in the morning let's me see these same miracles because I took the time to watch...we don't always have to rush through the day w/o watching life unfold.

    Philip "Katman" Kohn reviews review

    Not sure I agree with you about it being a lame move....the motive is a bit liberal but there are underlying reasons as to "why" the reviews are on there. I know the Katman is dealing with health issues that affect his life and he writes with an eloquence that few are able to actually...

    New Brother From Prescott, AZ

    I hear ya....should have put a WTF emoticon on there. I can remember it like it was yesterday as I was only 21 at the time.... way before all of the politicking we see today for Gun Rights. Not that I get into it but all you need to do is actually deal with a situation like that and suddenly...

    New Brother From Prescott, AZ

    Welcome from N. Atlanta. I remember Prescott, AZ too well...back in 1975 I was almost robbed on the side of 89 just going through Cottonwood into Prescott...oil light came on and I stopped to put in some more when a truckful of rowdy good ole boys stopped behind me...sat there eyeballing me as...

    CBid changed their shipping policy

    Increasing sales by changing to different methods of how to have consumers buy more to save money...S/H is usually the way they go because they want the consumer to think they are getting a better bang for the buck by ordering more product to save on S/H. I tend to use Tampa Humidor a lot when...

    Favorite Online Cigar Shops

    Lots of good referrals here. I like a lot of different brands so 15 years ago I made a file folder for each line of cigars I buy and where the best price/source is. Alphabetically sourced is the Online address with the name of the Cigar and price for Single...5 pak and Box. I usually choose...

    Lodge Cast Iron Skillets

    When I discovered the "salts" it enhanced our steaks by 50% easily...we love to dine out but that gets a bit expensive eating $50 steaks so we bought 5 pounds of Rib Eye 1 1/2 inches from Costco....cooked em in butter and salts and we've never looked back since. I'll have to get some of the...

    How to properly jar tobacco

    For those of us who are sticklers for doing things "right" this fits my sensibilities....good post.

    Calling all Coffee Roasters: Need Grinder Advice

    The experts say to squirt a bit of water ( mist it ...not pure water ) into the tank as that will counter the effects of the static buildup.

    Lodge Cast Iron Skillets

    I'm an advocate of these cast iron pre seasoned skillets...with the raised grooves in a 12 inch skillet I defy anyone to choose between these and some of the most expensive charcoal/gas grills out there. We have a unit above the stove that will suck ALL of the smoke or smell from the kitchen...

    Need a new lighter what is a good one that's not 200

    My fav soft flame is the Xikar Exodus...while it's a lighter that is wind resistant ( not flame proof ) it is a great lighter and have used mine for 5 years. On the auction sites you can still get one for about $40 and it stores a lot of butane..easy to use and adjust the flame. When Im outside...

    Calling all Coffee Roasters: Need Grinder Advice

    I've had most of the burr grinders already mentioned but several years ago I bought one of these...it's a manual burr grinder but you get to set the exact type of grind you want and these work just as good as any burr grinder out there. I bought 4 of them because after a year or so the ceramic...

    Humidity Question

    Some of the answers are pretty accurate. Keeping our cigars in a proper environment is "key"...a lot of hobbyists tend to let their new cigars marinate less than a month and then expect them to smoke perfectly after that time frame. It's been discussed many times that it takes about a week for...

    Wrapworthiest Leaves

    I'm intrigued for sure. That size of RG would probably be just about right to get the real essence of the flavor of that wrapper. A Lancero might even be better to really get a mouthful of taste.

    How do you make your coffee?

    One word...intervention! I use a FP before it became popular and a manual grinder....my monkey loves to turn the handle for me.

    Buying freeze until 12/31/2016

    Where can I place a bet on this one? It's only late Sept. and you've got 3 more months to go. I tried doing this years ago and failed miserably...but since I have bought so many cigars in the last few years I don't worry about buying anymore....that's the plan is to buy so many of your...
