Keto! Low low carbs, low low sugar. After my diagnosis of celiac and complex carbs intolerance, it was less of a choice and more of 'well, this is my life now' kind of thing. But I've never felt better, and I'm going to try to start getting back in shape soon now that a lot of my weight is off.

That's kinda where I am... I'll be glad to cheer everyone on, but I've gone from 212 to 170 since the beginning of August. I'll probably still lose a bit, but I don't see it being monumental.

Does anybody else chew a cigar when they're doing something can't actively smoke while doing? Or while indoors? I remember my granddad doing this, and I've started doing this lately and enjoy it.

DE Herrera Miami while packing for a camping trip in this grey Alabama afternoon. It's a little rough around the edges and I had to relight once (I blame the wind), but I think it'll be good with a little age on it.

Tried several ways to turn off the text notifications, and the app kept giving me an error when I tried to log in. I'll try the app again later!

Wow... I didn't know this thread was a thing. Been keto since Celiac reared its ugly head. Or rather, since I was diagnosed back in August. I'm sure I had it long before that. I've gone from 212 to ~180 and dropping. Congrats to all who are losing, and looking forward to being a loser with you guys!

Welcome back! I'm new, but glad to meet you. Congratulations on life, and on slowing down a bit to enjoy things!

I'll never cook a turkey any other way than brined and smoked. I use Jack Daniels wood chips in mine. Have fun!

I'd be in for a fiver.

Welcome from Alabama! Great to have you.

You're not wrong - my latest batch has just gotten smooth after about a year - but I've heard cacao nibs increase that time.

Ooh, cacao nibs. Might take a little while, but that might do the trick! And I keep some oak cubes on hand. Woot!

Unfortunately, no...Celiac has pretty much halted my enjoyment of grain based beers, and what I'm going for is an attempt at replacing beer in my diet. I've never had a proper bochet, so I wasn't sure what my end flavor profile would be there. Hmm. I wonder if there's anything I can add in...

Fellow homebrewers, I need some advice! I've been brewing mead for years - mostly metheglin with ginger and vanilla, but I've done a few fruit meads too. I jump back and forth between D-47 and EC-118 yeast depending on my mood and I usually shoot for 16-18% ABV, fermenting dry and...

Welcome from Alabama! Great to have you here.

Welp... looks like that was a bust. https://www.reddit.com/r/cigars/comments/a5e4p7/psa_if_you_ordered_anything_from_embr/ The Embr site is inop, and the owner/customer support is said to be dodging emails. Some are speculating that he may have taken the kickstarter money and run; owner...

Really, if you haven't grabbed a box or two of Norteno/Miamis you can't say it's because you didn't have a chance. Several boxes listed at Serious Cigar buy one get one. https://www.seriouscigars.com/discount/all-weekend-long-buy-1-box-get-another-worth-up-to-249-00-absolutely-free

Yeah, at the price I'm not hoping to impress anybody. I'm just hoping they're not total trash.

So...I made a quick decision this morning to buy two Humi-Jars of Vindicator Chimera churchills. Vindicator seems to be a Famous exclusive made by Altadis at their Flor de Copan factory in the Honduras, with the Chimera having a Mexican Sumatra wrapper. I'm part of a comic/gaming/anime...
