    On-Site Humidor

    I pay $350 a year for my social membership. The locker is $50 additional (lockers are all the same size). With that membership I get a 10% discount on anything I buy. I get 24 hour access to the member lounge area, free wifi and cable tv - there is also free beer on tap, refrigerator...

    Oliva Saison cigar

    Not sure how new but CI has them. I'm pretty local to CI and usually go there once a month for a cigar and drinks. So I gave it a try. Maybe they are a CI exclusive stick?

    Oliva Saison cigar

    I bought a single a little while back. I don't remember it being "crappy" but to me, it is not a V replacement / substitute. It just didn't wow me like the V does. I would not go out of my way to buy a bunch more. At the same time, if I had one I would pitch it in the trash either. Maybe...

    Tablets under $250

    I ended up going with the Galaxy Tab 3 7". In the end it just made the most sense because I already have a Galaxy cell phone. The Tab was very familiar. Thanks for all of your input.

    Tablets under $250

    I am considering the Galaxy Tab 3 or the kindle fire hd. Thoughts / opinions. Most of my usage will be surfing the web watching movies and reading books.

    Get ready for a fourth price increase.

    Congrats to DE - "My opinion" - I think the folks at DE are marketing geniuses. They tout limited release, hard to get leaf, top of the line leaf and all of the sudden people want to try the unobtainable. DE puts things out in dribs and drabs and it makes it that much more of a "mystery" -...

    High-end pipe experiences?

    I couldn't tell you - sorry. I've never smoked from a $600 - $1,000 pipe to know. I'm too cheap to spend that kinda dough on a pipe. I'm pretty content rockin a cob or other under $50 pipes. The question I have for you is - are you sure it is really better than your other lower cost pipes...

    Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

    Thanks for your input. I get a little tongue bite sometimes too if I smoke it too hot. I'm really interested in hearing how the 3 oaks is. Keep us posted.

    Bikes

    This thread title had me thinking very differently. I'm old and peddle bikes are for younger people :). With the invention of the gas powered engine I see no need for peddle bikes anymore :). When I was a younger lad I competed in BMX events too. It was fun and all that. But now i'd have...

    Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

    Kevin, I love the Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian. Have you smoked that? How would you rate that to these others? I love the Smokey flavor profile and am looking for others that are good. Any suggestions? Thanks - Carl Oh and to stay on topic here is a picture of a recent haul - Esoterica And...

    Looking to expand my horizons

    I'm a bourbon guy - I've been drinking a lot of Wild Turkey Rare Breed lately - I also like Knob Creek Single Barrel - You can never go wrong with Bookers either. I'm not a Scotch or Beer drinker. I'll drink a little Rum from time to time but it's often too sweet for me to have more than a...

    Please pray for our President

    I was thinking that due to the time difference he was still on April Fools day.

    Please pray for our President

    I pray for him every day - but I don't think God answers those types of prayers.

    Pinolero by AJ Fernandez

    I had one. For the price, I was under impressed. It was a decent enough smoke but to me not worth the dollars.

    Favorite Bourbon

    I think i can honestly say that i have never had a "bad" bourbon. To me, they are all good - similar in flavor profile but yet unique in their own way. Asking me to pick my favorite is like making me pick one child over another. The bourbons that I seem to keep on hand all the time (since...
