I cant believe that I didnt join the laptop herfing craze sooner. I'm sitting on my deck right now enjoying one of the last few beautiful 75 degree Michigan spring days until I move to much harsher climates. I've got the laptop going and a cigar lit. Its a perfect day out right now...

Had the fryer out this afternoon to fry up a big batch of tortilla chips. Figured I'd make it worth my trouble and fried up a batch of these. :ss I broke out the 'special' tableware for the occasion

Hey guys, Well, we're back at it again. My brother and I decided to take on yet another cigar-related project. (For those who havent seen the other projects, they are here and here) Several months back, Tech-Ninja used a cool technique to inlay cigar bands into a clearglaze epoxy. The...

For those without the benefit of smoking rooms or warm weather climates, I was in Home Depot today and saw that they are clearing out small space heaters. Small 1500 watt heaters are marked down up to 75%, some going for as little as $9-12. A great buy. Picked up a small 1500 watt ceramic...

Ryan 'commissioned' a piece of art through an art school student. Its the latest addition to the Cigar Room I think it turned out pretty cool. The camera phone pics dont pick up the colors well, but its a nice little semi-abstract piece.

The night started out with so much potential. $2 Pabst Blue Ribbons and a nice rustic, lodge style restaurant... I met up with Sancho tonight for another mini-herf at pretty cool restaurant that we have herfed at before (and one we were considering to host a future Detroit herf). They've...

Well, fresh off the heals of the cigar room, I figured I'd dive head first into a new project. After seeing Tech-Ninja's awesome cigar band poker table (HERE), I was inspired to start a cigar band project of my own. I mulled around with the idea of what piece of furniture would lend itself the...

Went in to my local purveyor of fine tobaccos today with the intention of picking up 4 modest smokes for a trip I'm taking this weekend. Simple enough, right? Well I did OK in a poker game last night so I had a few extra dollars tickling my wallet (or at least that general area) :hn We all...

As a few of you have noticed, I'm an outspoken whore for the Rocky Patel Edge's. One of my favorite, most reliable 'go to' smokes. Tonight I grabbed a few smokes and headed to the Cigar Room for a smoke with my brother (Ryan35um). He's new to the Edge, so we flipped on the Tigers/Rangers game...

With the Cigar Room nearly finished, I'm focusing efforts on finding a suitable ashtray. Since the room is somewhat minimalist, with only a couple nice leather chairs and a sidetable, I'm thinking that a gaudy, chunky ashtray may be the way to go. Something that makes a statement! Outside of...

Since we're always inundated with 'purchases threads', maybe we can save a few of them and form a justific...errr support group for each other. I hit the B&M today and burned a small chunk of my tobacco budget on 4 AF Short Stories, 3 RP Sun Growns, and 2 Padron 64's. I know I wasnt the only...

I've been finding myself increasingly infatuated with short perfecto's. I went through the natural stage of petite corona obsession, but more and more I'm really coming around to the perfecto's. All of the dynamics of a higher ring guage, with the brevity of a petite. I've been noticing more...

10 years ago we built our deck. It was a great deck with beautiful Western Red Cedar. Unfortunately for us, carpenter ants also thought the deck with beautiful and in the past year, have destroyed a good portion of it. Our pristine, beautiful cedar deck was slowly being eaten! This past...

Well the weather was nice in Michigan today ("warmed" up to 42º), so I figured now is as good a day as any to get the grill fired up and cook dinner. MrBl8k sent me a few Short Story's last week, so I figured they would be a great smoke to accompany some grilling. I lit up and ventured outside...

Like all good things in life, cigars and scotch are best enjoyed with friends. So tonight myself and a friend made a trip over to Got Rocks, in Birmingham Michigan- Got Rocks is an upstairs cigar bar to the Big Rock Chophouse restaurant. The ambiance is second to none and the scotch selection...

I've recently come across some very sentimental lighters. They were owned by my grandfather who passed nearly 20 years ago. I know very little about them except for a few markings. They are made in Japan and have "SKKK" on the underside, with three stars adorning the initials. I assume these...

UPS came today and delivered a nice little surprise. Ordinarily I'd scoff at Thompson, but the packaging was lovely, the cutter appears to be solid (although its sharpness may be suspect), and there are a few nice little smokes in here. The Belmondo is ENORMOUS

Hi all, I'm new the boards. I was hoping to kick off my CS 'career' with a quick question about the CAO Gold Coronas. Picked up a 5 pack on cbid recently and while it was an enjoyable smoke, I garnered the impression that they need to sit in the humi for a spell or two. Have any of you had a...
