    Graycliff Black Label Espresso paired with Theraflu® Flu & Sore Throat Hot Liquid.

    Graycliff Black Label Espresso paired with Theraflu® Flu & Sore Throat Hot Liquid. Not too shabby! The Theraflu keeps my sinuses clear and my sore throat far less sore, and helps retain that human feeling. Not to mention some very interesting aromas and tastes provided by this, to me...

    Tried two new (to me) cigars today.

    Started my morning before mowing with a Hoyo Dark Sumatra Media Noche and I'm currently smoking a Henry Clay Toro. Didn't really feel like reviewing either today, but I've got four of each left so there's time to do that later. I really liked the Hoyo, it went great with my coffee and had a...

    Vinotemp issue with power outages.

    I've had this happen a couple of times and wondered if any of the other Vinotemp owners had similar issues? We have numerous power outages each year and since getting the Vinotemp, I've noticed that when the power comes back on, which is generally almost immediately, the Vinotemp temps take a...

    Spidy Sense was tingling...

    Not really, but I noticed a white spot on the head after clipping, very bad burn, had to keep relighting. Closer look at the white spot, it felt soft when I rubbed my finger across it. Pinched a bit with my finger and thumbnail and pulled and it stretched. Pinched the head and pulled it open to...

    CS's Gorilla question?

    Has anybody ever thought to "officially" name the CS Gorilla? Just wondered... It might be a cool contest idea if PDS agreed? Every voter could contribute a stick of their choice to vote our Gorilla would get a name and the proceeds could go to the troops? Constructive and/or destructive...

    We all know the reason, lets have a little rhyme?

    In honor of the slope... The glorious Mount Stogie. I'll start off, ya'll take it from there? On top of Mount Stogie, I felt a slight breeze, then I lost my balance and fell to my knees.

    A question about the Nub cigar "theory".

    This is from http://www.nubcigar.com/intro_nub.php. "After learning from the Oliva family how cigars are rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Oliva family and Sam created “nubs”, which is a concept that seeks to deliver only that most enjoyable part of the cigar. The idea for the nubs came from...

    Got to sample a Taboo Special Forces Original Blend yesterday.

    Man was it good! I could taste the strength immediately after clipping it and putting it in my mouth. The test draw was excellent, the flavor rich and robust. The taste was great from first light onward. There was some spice and some underlying sweetness, but mostly full, rich tobacco flavor...

    Gorillas in the ash, well one anyway.

    I did a review today and posted this there as well but figured many may not read the review and see the pic, so I decided to post it here too. Hope that's OK. During the smoke, I looked into the ash and swear I saw a Gorilla's face smiling back at me. What do you think, can you see it?
