    You'd be surprised how expensive it is to remove the flavor from a cigar. ;)

    Buying a cabinet humidor...

    I've never been hit by a bus either; but that doesn't mean it's not possible. :)

    Forbidden Fruit

    While that's the colloquial version of the tale, many researchers are now speculating that the actual fruit was a pomegranate. :2

    How can I be the man when you are so clearly the man? :ss

    Cool! I'd also suggest thinking about a remote exhaust fan rather than the traditional bathroom fan for ventilation.

    Joecigar SOLD OUT

    They taste like elm leaves rolled up in newspaper, IMHO.

    Cabinet Humidors

    If you're serious, then it's either an Aristocrat or an Avallo for you, my good man. :2

    My morning drive with the maniac mothers

    Most folks who are tailgating will be too busy putting on makeup, changing the radio station and texting their BFF to see where the golf balls came from.
