This really isn't a request for thoughts, or prayers. I just need somewhere to vent. I really didn't know where else to put it, so...Here it is. Today, after 5 years of marriage, my wife left with our 3 and 6 year old daughters. It has been something we knew was inevitable, but the true shock...

So money has been devastatingly tight for the past several months and the stogie supply has been steadily dwindling. Developing family issues have combined with it all has caused stress to mount at an astronomical rate. Every year, for the 4th we travel to Seattle to visit relatives, but this...

This week, I have been up in Sacramento for some work related training. While walking into my hotel on the first night, I walked by a well dressed gentleman who was smoking a cigar. As I walked by, I had to do a double-take and get another nostril full of this cigar. It was amazing. As I headed...

Awhile back, I discovered the existence Bock y Ca. cigars. From what I understand, they were stopped and then started back up again in the late 90's. I have seen one, or two retailers that say they carry them, but have yet to find one who has them in stock. I really want them, just because of...

Okay, I have been intrigued by this cigar for some time. I noticed at an online retailer as part of a Gurkha mega-sampler. This cigar stood out from all the rest for several reasons. One, it looked like a tan/dark candy cane; Two, it was a long one; Three, it was made by Gurkha. With these three...

Please bear with me as this is my first post on these forums.... Back in November, I was attending a union conference at Disneyland. The association attorney threw a client party, closing down the popular Uva Bar in the middle of Downtown Disney on a Saturday night. A sweet bar, free beer, free...
