    Grinder Help....

    I know a lot of guys here are into coffee as much as cigars, so I am hoping I can find a little bit of help... I am attempting too find a good grinder (preferably manual for french press coffee). I know they seem to range from about $50 - $300+ for a quality burr grinder, but can't seem to find...

    What percentage is CC s ?

    I rolled through customs with a backpack full of CCs this spring, declared them at purchase value (had receipt on me), and no one even bothered to ask about them. Yet they ran sacked my wife’s luggage over a necklace, cut the box open, and took the paperwork... She was wearing it, but kept the...

    Received a letter from Customs today ...

    It’s kinda funny actually... all the Fed LE I know that are into cigars are huge CC snobs.

    Cuban Confusion

    Nahh... I’ve had a dried out PSD4 I found in my glove box, but that’s really it since I’ve been back. I’ve been trying to catch up on the back log of crap I managed to get into at work, and I’m trying to figure out a new gig, I feel like it’s time to bounce.

    Dress Shoes

    I should have figured you were all about the AE. My goto are the classic Gucci horsebit lofers, no socks (I cheat with the sperry socks), but I wish I would have bought the AE “knock offs” instead. When it comes time to replace these the Allen Edmonds are getting the job. I’m no socks even...

    Dress Shoes

    Random side thread of the morning here... What is everyone’s preferred dress shoe? And more importantly if you wear loafers with a suit... socks or no socks?

    Stupid and Embarrasing

    I had used the oxo vacuum seal containers with 60g Boveda packs to calibrate/check. It appears pulling the batteries to reset the hygrometers solved the issue. Both units are caliber IVs (one round and one standard). Although in the scheme of things I guess they are pretty cheap tech. A little...

    Show/List your latest CC Purchase

    Yes at DBX. It was wild, basically anything but BHKs on my first passing through, then decimated 8 days later. The sales staff at the actual LCDH by the Palm was great though

    Any watch guys? Looking to buy a new watch

    I’m not sure I would goto the moon without a GMT. The service cost of the Omegas always turned me off. I wear the sub to the office a good bit, but anymore this has been my goto It’s an overpriced timed, but I get a lot of compliments on it from all of the other “desk divers” I know. I...

    Stupid and Embarrasing

    That is exactly it. I assumed it was because I was trying to calibrate to a 65 pack instead of the 75.

    Stupid and Embarrasing

    So I have quite a few digital hydrometers (xikar, a few caliber IV's, etc.) It seems they have all gone crazy, I use Boveda packs so I know where my RH is at, but my Hyrdo's are all over the place. I have attempted to calibrate them at 75% and 65 and 62% respectively. So my question is: When...

    Worth it to go to Cuba? Questions...

    haha, speaking of FU money, on our flight from Dubai to Male (Maldives) there was a Russian couple sitting next to us. The airport is small so we had to deplane on the tarmac with a stair type thing. Low and behold there was a guy in a suit, waiting to greet them with a G Wagon on the tarmac pre...

    Worth it to go to Cuba? Questions...

    Eh... Carnival Cruses seem to have a bad reputation, especially with my friends that live in the Ft Lauderdale/Miami area. (The ships all dock here, they do a quite a few a year) Raw sewage puddles and cold onion sandwiches... no thanks. I hear good about Royal Caribbean and Princess cruises...
