    Mom's Best French Toast

    You need bread twice as thick as normal sliced bread. Fresh spongey/poofy-type bread is required - the best is challah or egg bread but Sunbeam Texas BBQ Slices works great. Stale bread or coarser, very dense bread isn't going to cut it. In a low sided bowl beat or whisk together: 1 1/2 cups...

    Todayscigar.com email harvesting

    I never signed up with them and junk-email started showing up this week. Bad karma - very bad karma. I don't want to buy the cigar a stranger tries to club me to death with. My not-too-public hotmail email address has been harvested from somewhere. Anyone else?

    Cigar Box - Capital One Small Business Ad

    So the mean banker flicks the small business owner with his finger; he scores a field goal thru his buddies finger-goalposts and little guy falls into a cigar box. I tried to figure out what was on the band many times but, finally, slo-mo (and then youtube) reveals the cigars are actually...

    Never Ceases to Amaze or Amuse...

    I saw myself in the mirror the other night and snapped this picture. As this year winds up I was enjoying a FANTASTIC stogie from a too-kind BOTL and thinking: how many remarkable cigars I've enjoyed, been gifted and shared with troops and BOTLs how I've learned to mellow out with a wisely...

    El Rico Habano Fan Club Meets Here This Week!

    Have any El Rico Habanos, natural or maduro, in the humi? If not, do you know where to get a couple? Well, you already opened this thread so it's too late to get out - you're in. Make a move or you're a Philly Blunt ash. Take one out of the humi, acquire or buy an ERH and smoke it hard to...

    Dag! Oliva! Still Maduro After All These Years.

    Now for a stroll down memory lane. From the bottom of the winecoolerdor comes one of the 6.5 x 52's. The Oliva Grand Maduro Torpedo. I smoked a mess of these in various sizes a couple of years ago and bought a few boxes of the longies in 2005 and stuffed them away. The box is built like...

    One Of The All Time Greats

    We lost him 30 years ago today. Groucho did more for cigars, wisecracks, and sly looks than than anyone else I know. Besides a fat cigar and a fake mustache his hallmarks were kindness and generosity. He would have been a great contributor. A three cigar salute to the memory of Mr. Marx...

    The Summer "Yard-Gar" - Myth or Legend?

    Is there really a yard gar? Each time I go outside to work in the yard I find myself eyeing the humi for a yard gar. All my boxes of old so-so cigars that I pray will taste better next year always get the first look. Then I slide them out of my way and pick out something way better and way...

    Profile Info Blah Blah Blah

    I understand coming on to any board and being cautious about personal info. The whole CS experience is a pretty broad thing and any member can get as much or as little as they want from it. And anyone here can be as known or anonymous as you wish - fair and square. So this is just me. I...

    I Love Strong Tastes

    This could be a :chk and the egg thing, since smoking is alledged to suppress your ability to taste but, even before I smoked, I loved strong tasting things. Do cigar/pipe smokers in general crave kick-ass flavors? I lean to: cigars (heavy cigars - maduros, and strong cigars in general)...

    The Hemingway Thing

    I know several Fuente whores and have nothing against two of them, but I never considered myself one. Yeah, so I like Anejos OK but sometimes they make my head sweat; and while there’s nothing wrong with an OpusX (at MSRP) in my book it is hard to develop a serious enough pile of them to smoke...

    The Unofficial Annual Reminder

    Cigar in the Mail Summer Warning. It is getting hot now. Depending on the destination, if you post mail on Thur-Sat it may end up sitting in a rawther warm place for a couple of extra days. Monday is a good day to mail perishables when the mailrooms (or trailers) turn stuffy. ~ c(_)

    Cigars in the Morning

    If it was a holiday morning (no work) and there was nobody in the house to fuss about what you smoke, would you prefer: Coffee (or some other drink) and breakfast of your choice, but no cigar; or Coffee (or some other drink) and breakfast of your choice, with cigar; or Cigar and coffee -...

    Semper Fi, Sempy Gumby, Semper Chow...

    Semper Stogie. Frank/Floydp/Anita - this was a PIF for the generous piles of cigars you have put in front of me in the past year. I went to DC to visit my daughter and pass along some tableware from her grandmother on Memorial Day, Saturday. We had a fine day and enjoyed some coffee (at the...

    New Guys: Banana Pudding vs. Cigar Rule

    (This is still not an original thought....) I loved banana pudding the first time I tasted it; the pleasure of the flavor has never diminished. That's not to say I'm not a little more picky than I was 40-years ago, but good is good. I will totally eat pudding with soggy 'Nilla wafers but...

    Moving: Burnt Out (Or, "I Need A Cigar")

    I smoked a cigar a while ago. It was pretty good. Then, Ro'Randy asked me why I didn't cigar post much anymore (A: I lack cigar originality) but I posted a cigar thought anyhow and, by golly, it was fun. So then, having once again forgotten to smoke a cigar for a while, I stumbled into a never...

    Anejos Happen

    Yes, my brothers - Anejos do happen in something besides onesies-twosies. Not often, but they do. If you travel enough, walk into enough B&Ms, ask questions politely, try to do good deeds, drink enough coffee, never hit your cats, ignore receipts (ALWAYS ignore receipts) indulge your wife...
