Saw my first Gravy campaign yard signs on Pine Street in New Orleans, this morning. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:...

I don't know, many here often assert that sports are entertainment, especially with the questionable goings-on in the NFL and NBA, and world football. Remember that quote from the NFL lawyer, someone here quoted it a couple weeks ago, that the NFL is an entertainment product....

[quote]Short sleeve button ups. Not talking about casual shirts, but the typical Oxford dress shirt except with short sleeves. Negative bonus points if also worn with a tie. Never understood these, it’s like the fashion equivalent of the mullet.[/quote] These shirts are acceptable with shorts, untu...

I have a Xikar multi-tool that works pretty well, and they are a fine company. However Xikar used to fix their cutters, sharpen their cutters and what have you, when they were first introduced. Now they just replace whatever you send in. There's a reason they HAVE to have such good customer service...

I still say Melpomene....

How good is your guillotine cutter? If it's a little plastic promotional sort of thing, with a single blade, get another. If it's a worthwhile cutter that you spent coin on, clean it really well and try again. If it's a Xikar, send it back and they should replace it....

I would say so, since I have not had one of those in quite a long time, at least 15 or more years ago....

Son, that is an excellent review. Very well done. If you were comparing it to the Cuban Punch you had, that may be a little unfair to this Punch. But then again, you were quite detailed and adept in this review....

You don't have to buy a humidor. I have a few, they are good to have, certainly, but a "Tupperdor" or "Coolerdor" work fine, too. Just keep your eye on them for the first few weeks or so that you use them. I had two coolers, smallish, for a good while, I'm consolidated into one for cigars and one fo...

These guys here are smoking premium and super premium brands that command similar prices. The quest is to find the same quality at a better price that allows one to smoke a bit more. I've been living as caregiver to my living parent, I am away from home and my family, lonely and aggravated a bit....

What about all that fencing and the N.G. troops?...

[quote]I used to love their Serie "O" Maduro, but I haven't seen those in years[/quote] They are quite available, simply "re-branded" as Oliva O. The Oliva G are the old Flor de Oliva Grand Cameroon, wonderful cigars that could once be had many moons ago for under $50.00 per box. Oliva have sin...

[quote]Punch used to make some very highly rated sticks.[/quote] Still do, both the domestically available lines and the Habanos lines. Bookmarked that thread, I had no idea, I don't visit that board, but occasionally....

Punch de Short, interesting. I had not heard of these, but they are new from Habanos, S.A. , only two years in production, likely for the Swiss market. ...

J. C. Newman has diversified their offerings some in the last 15 or so years as many American smokers are now looking for the full-bodied, Nicaraguan flavor profile. Go to their website and check their brands. Diamond Crown, Cuesta-Rey (their flagship brand,) and La Unica are typically on the mil...
