Just got a new humidor and a few more Bocock Brothers cigars. I just got the Boveda starter kit to set it up.
This the 1st time using it so any pointers would be great. LINK
This is the one I got. Do I just keep the Boveda packs in after the 2 weeks (changing out the the 84% to 70%) or can I fill the black thing with a Xikar Cigar Humidor Solution.

We stayed there a few years ago, and it was a great resort.
Almond Tree and Coco Bistro were great places for dinner. If you can hit Da Conch Shack for lunch. There is a pizza place across the street from 7 Stars that was surprisingly good.
Also, if you are flying out on Sat or Sun, look up VIP Flyers Lounge. They will walk you through security, and you will have your own private lounge with food, drinks, and AC.
Cocoavan Airstream Lounge was also good for a lighter and casual dinner.
Are you going to dive?

It's not bad, but the water is still rather cold.
Little Havana was really cool to walk around and sit on a patio, and have a few cocktails, and a cigar.
You can also see a Heat game.

Unless the other team has a running/mobile QB.
Finally back to smoking after taking a break do to a surgery. I picked up an EH Taylor Single Barrel and cracked it open w a Camacho Broadleaf. So fire its been a great pairing.
I will be looking forward to your update. I think that is about the time we are planning to go next year. Our thought was to leave the Wed of Thanksgiving and fly by the following Sat.
Enjoy

European Christmas Markets
Posted by gringeaux on 11/4/25 at 5:35 pm
My wife and I are starting to plan a trip to Europe next year. We would like to visit the Christmas markets. She seems set on going to multiple cities and taking the train between them. I’ve also seen a few river cruises with itineraries that would allow us to do the same. Any recommendations? Which would be better? Any suggestions for markets we shouldn’t miss?
TIA

I agree, but they write the contract b/w the coach and LSU not the coach and booster. But I am not sure there has been a time when a school (ie tax payer) has payed a buyout.

I agree with him that's an issue. And it sounds like he wants to ENSURE that the state DOESNT have to foot the bill.
It didn't for Les and it didn't for O. The state does not pay this. Just like it didn't pay for the new op building.

Smoking a Drew Estate Undercrown and it's slowly becoming one of my favorites.
Headed to BR next weekend and I'm going to try to stock up on some Bocockbrothers. Those have been my go to, but I can't seem to find them in the DFW area.

I've used this one before, and it was good for what it was. Nothing that fancy, but it will get the job done when I am feeling lazy.

Here's what we did when we were there
Joe’s Stone Crab- great dinner spot
Versailles- great for dinner or lunch
Little Havana and the Cubaocho Museum & Performing Arts Center
We were able to walk around Little Havana (mainly SW 8th St) there were several bars and cigars shops to sit outside and enjoy.

Brisket Birria Recipes
Posted by gringeaux on 8/25/25 at 11:17 am
With gameday and the long weekend, I am looking to try my hand at a new way to for brisket.
I have seen several different method and several different recipes so if anyone has a tried and true recipe I would appreciate the help. So far the plan is as follows:
Season the night before w/ a SPG and MC Fajita
Smoke at 275-300 for about 3-4hrs
Braise in a birria marinade for 3-4hrs at 300
Rest for about an hour.
I am really looking for a good recipe for the marinade/consommé. I've seen some where they toast the dried peppers before, others where they don't. And the spices appear to change from recipe to recipe.
TIA

Casa Velas
I've stayed there and at Grand Velas. Both were great. CV is much smaller and only has one or two restaurants. It's much smaller, but it's very nice. GV is on the beach and has several restaurants. We were there in May this year. It's about a $20-30 cab ride to downtown Puerto Vallarta. There was a lot of construction on the road to PV form GV, but most people were saying it would be completed by Dec or Jan.
