So last night I call a good friend of mine to hang out at the usual bar we frequent. We both work in a couple restaurants in town so once you're in, you tend to know staff from 80% of the area's bars, pubs, and restaurants. We go to this one place because she knows a manager and I know the...

So here I am, sauntering in to the swanky, sorry, posh section of London (Mayfair) looking for the Davidoff store. I've just been to a cafe and am carrying a macchiato, wearing UFO skater shorts, a black tshirt, flipflops, and a camo military style cap. The look I got upon entering was...

For once, my wife had the hookups for our Independence Day celebratory activities and not me...so I went along for the ride. About 4pm, we made our way out towards Hamlin (outside Rochester) on the beach of Lake Ontario to the lake house of my wife's previous boss. I love this crew and they...

6am rolled around and I thought I should go to bed. Because my wife was in DC, I figured I should leave my cell phone on in case she called me. Did she call in the morning? No, but the phone rang incessantly while I did my best to sleep through it (the wife has a different ring, so I know...

I got out of work early today, wandered into chat and was convinced within minutes that I needed to smoke something on this gorgeous early evening. About 65F and sunny as all get out, I grabbed my Wall Street Journal and found a nice comfy picnic table behind our building. This was an Ashton...

There has been much talk in the chat room about attacking me with Gurkha paraphernalia. I have made one point very clear: If I receive any time of Gurkha apparel I will be forced to burn said items in my parking lot, take pics, and post them here. Be aware, this is not a joke. That is all...

We were in the chat room this evening discussing the writing of papers and those who enjoy it as well as those who loathe it. I was reminded that I have spent far too long between essays and was encouraged to write one on the room's dialog. So, allow me to share with you my most recent...

Thanks to Jamz, I received this stick as part of my Zombie contest winnings. Toro in length, the RP Signature is a mild Connecticut. And I do mean mild. Jamz' review can be found here. Allow the setting to sink in. 60 degrees, not a cloud in the sky. I'm talking so clear I can see the...

I saw the Camacho Commercial post on the intro page.. If anyone is interested in doing this and would like a soundscore for it, PM me. I've written for film and commercials and I think it'd be a fun project! Genre doesn't matter, I've done everything from classical and jazz to indie rock to...

Last month at the WNY Herf, I noticed Havana Harry's had these sticks for $6.95. I was quite curious about this, as I had never had one. T hooked me up with a Toro, I brought it home, and tucked it away for just the right occasion. Tonight was such a night. The weather is a nice crisp 43F...

Friday night is a long night in the restaurant business. 9hrs on my feet waiting tables, then 2 hours practicing for an upcoming wedding... never have I been in such need for stick at the end of the night. I foresaw the long evening and put this Padilla Edición Especial Achilles (corojo) in...

I smoked my first Padron Anniversary 1964 Maduro tonight outside in the cool night air with Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera and I have to say it's been one of my most memorable cigar experiences. :ss

I've been sick for the past couple days...this usually means I can't sleep. So, seeing that sleep just wasn't going to happen, I decided to go after a bit of fresh air, joined by a Snapple and a Partagas Black robusto I was happy to receive from Gromit at the WNY Herf on Sunday. A nice dark...

As some of you know, upon my return from my roatrip with my brother, I found that I had been laid off from my restaurant manager job and was financially left in the lurch. Clearly one needs funds in order to procure cigars so I was forced onto a no-cigar purchases diet until steady work came my...

7000 miles and ten days of rocking the US of A. :ss We made it back into town last night. Sorry to those we attempted to herf with and didn't make it. Scheduling was insane, but we had fun nonetheless and took advice of fellow travelers to hit up certain spots. (Nevada Sunset) Alcatraz...

Help along the way? Thoughts? Ideas? My roadtrip with my bro is finally planned as of this morning: Sunday August 12th, Rochester, NY to Philadelphia to pick up sister's car, turn around and head west. Between the 12th and 14th we will be traversing primarily on I-80 all the way to San...

Hey BOTLs/SOTLs - I just would like to ask all you praying CSers to toss one up for my cousin's family. She's 16yrs old and in the cancer ward here in town. It looks like the end and it's crazy rough on all the family. Kind of a strange request for on here, but we'd all appreciate all the...

My brother and I are driving from NY to San Francisco then up routes 1 and 101 to Seattle, then back. Can anyone give me good B&M locations in either of those cities, good smoking spots, or places along the west coast (literally on the coastal routes) that we should stop at? Thanks!
