Ok, I have had a very small brush in with mold before. It was slightly larger than the eye of a pin so I rubbed it off and all was well. Fast forward a couple years and a box I just received has significantly more! I have seen some pics on the forums that make this look tame but I an nervous...

I went on a week long business trip with my wife to Washington DC, and just got home. Due to some quick thinking by my Letter Carrier :banghead: disaster was averted! Being keenly aware of suspicious packages, my letter carrier's quick thinking saved my home :dizzy: from destruction by his...

Got this far today on some humis I'm working on..... I had to change out my planer blades, so that slowed me down... But, we have tomorrow.... Working on a Mahogany & Cherry, she's going to be a nice size humi... 20x13x10. A Walnut that will be 16x12x7 thinking about the ebony for some...

Some of you know, some of you dont, but here's my horrific moving story. So I decided to move out of my 2br, 2.5bath apartment because the rent is high (even by West LA standards), and I dont need a 1,900sf apartment for just myself. I found a great 2br, 2bath place, about 1,300sf, for...

Well, I broke my Charatan's Make Supreme tonight and I'm miserable. It broke right where the stem goes into the bowl. I don't suppose there a dang thing I can do about it? I don't know how I would pry out the shaft of the stem still inside the shank of the bowl. What a shame - such a nice...

I knew about this earlier today, but I couldn't believe it. Both teams dropped the baton in the first qualifier. :hn

Clemson goes down, as did Vandy and UCONN, which I was shocked about. They said this is the first time that 4 lower seed teams knock out high seeds in the first round. What a crazy tourney!:gn

RUSH: Boy, we had a major, major storm go through here last night. I, of course, at my fortress compound am well protected, well insulated except I keep finding things that had not been done. For example, I got surge protectors all over everything so nothing gets damaged. I've got a generator in...

I have to vent about this. I'm smoking a fine RP Vintage 92 and enjoying it. I've got a couple of shots of single malt in me and I am starting to relax. Here's the story. I ordered a box of Padron 2000's Naturals from TNT (Which is a great company) Anyway, the delivery date was supposed to...

Well, well, well..... after a multi-year hiatus from CS.....I'M BACK!!!!!! I have probably only smoked about 30-40 cigars in from 2005 - 2007, and never more than 1 per week. I just haven't been that into it. I have only depleted my humidor, and have not restocked it. But last Sunday I...

Lit one while driving in the car. Tasted horrible. Looked at it, realised The paper sleeve was still on it and burning along with the cigar. Now I'm on freeway. I pull off sleeve, drop ash all over my lap. Cigar starts tunneling. Still taste the paper. Try to relight. Freeway jammed. More ashes...

Over the past couple of weeks have made some private purchases. They accumulated and finally were due to arrive today. I was pretty freaking excited as these were the Crème de la Poo kind of cigars. Got a call from the mail-room that a package had arrived. Headed over trying not to walk too...

This just in .......... Devastation and destruction will be brought down upon the home of our Bad Bad Caskwith. I have checked my sources several times; and in fact he is on the naughty list and will have to pay accordingly!! I have been watching you dear boy. Your lump of coal shall be...

Found the object of ATLHarp's ire..... WOW, for one lousy unannounced bomb I get taken out:r . After the smoke cleared and the dust settled I was left looking at some choice cigars and a whole damn bottle of Diplomatico ron. Pictures we be up in a couple hours, if I can find my camera:D ...

WARNING: The content of this message may be disturbing. Well after a day of wallowing in woe, I'm finally feeling up to venting. No need for pity, just me needing to tell folks who can understand my pain. First off, I've got two humidors right now. One is just a Coleman cooler, the other a...

Well, it is now a low 51 days till my wedding! Most of you will recall my question that i posted, asking what cigars should i bring for hand outs, and for the smokers.. Well, for the hand outs, i bought a box of Romeo Y Juliet in tubes.. These are alot cheaper than what i was thinking of...

Hope it was a great one, with some great smokes!

A while back, Navydoc sends me a pm asking for my address. Reluctantly, I gave it to him since I know the destruction he can send. I had forgot all about it until the wife and I came home this evening. As I'm walking towards the house, the wife checks the mail and all I hear is "Uh-oh". As I...

Was perusing my humidor for tonight's second smoke, when I discovered something bad. I lifted the top tray and found a cigar had rolled on top of the humidifier. It was wet and the foot was starting to expand. Hopefully I can dry this down. It was a Victor Sinclair Bohemian.
