Guys I have been with scouting for most of my life. I got my rank of Eagle Scout after many years of sweat and work. So guys this thread is for you to talk about your experiences in scouting. I work at a boyscout camp during the summers here in Florida for a pay of almost nothing for the...

So none other than Captain A$$ himself decide to trade with me, non-cigar items, but unfortunately something unavoidable came up, and he forgot to send me his side of the trade. So when he finally realizes he forgot, he messages me an apology and sends his side, with friends.... Correct me if...

When I was a little kid, I used to (and still do for that matter), love the smell of my dads friends corn cob. It brings back so many memories, of when he'd come over, or when we'd go to their house, or say up at their country house in Maine. I used to love waking up to the smell of coffee...

Long, long ago, in a pipe smoking universe far, far away, Flying Dutchman burned a swath of destruction across pipe smokers far and wide. I know. I was there. It was an extremely thin gauge Cavendish. I really don't know the kinds of tobacco that comprised it without looking it up, because...

I'm in Florida today, preparing for my father's funeral Saturday. He passed away quietly early Monday morning. My mother left us in January, and after 60 years of marriage, he has joined her again. Besides being the kindest most loving man I ever knew, he shared his great love of cigars with me...

These were the very first cigars I ever tried. Not knowing exactly what I was doing, I headed into the nearest CVS and said I needed as many cheap ... Read the full review here: Garcia Y Vega Miniatures Cigar Review - First Pick: Keeps Me Coming Back for Memories

When I lived in N.Y.C. in the 70's I was friends with a gentleman by the name of Sam Salz. He was a friend of my step-fathers, or I would never have been invited to his home. Sam was then in his early eighties, an impeccably dressed white haired gentleman who lived in an enormous town house on...

I had a set of these... we called them "Clackers." (They had other names) Hottest toy on the planet in 1971 - until they started shattering and causing eye injuries... flying apart and causing concussions... even one report of a fire started as a result of the "magnifying glass" affect...

I got a call last Sunday night saying that one of my best buddies from Alaska had passed away and my buddies were doing a rafting trip in memorium. I was on a plane at 6 am Monday morning and we were headed up to the Gulkana River at 3 in the afternoon. I took pretty much every cigar from my...

I needed to rant. sorry Of all the things I know or thought I knew about life, I never imagined that sitting and smoking a cigar could bring about such wonderful memories of the past. I was out in the garage this evening, enjoying one of the last cigars from my dad's humidor...an ISOM Ramon...

Seen something online about this and was reminded of an SH dance I was invited to in HS...I was asked out, and kinda felt obligated to go because the girl was a loner and I have a soft heart or something. After I picked her up, she started nagging all the way to the dance and it got on my...

I just published in the Stogie Fresh Journal my second article in the three-part series on distinguishing cigar flavors. This current article talks about the role our memories play in recognizing and identifying flavors in a cigar. So please check it out...

Well today on the porch it is very warm around 90 degrees and I am sitting under the pear tree with Johnny Cash playing on the boom box .I am sitting here and thinking about what I really enjoy right now if I could go back in time. And what came to mind was this I would really like to be on a...

PREFACE: Thanks for all of the great comments about my last thread! Some of you gave great illustrations of how taste and odor memories are so much different than other types of memories. On the one hand, memories for vision and hearing tend to be succinct and matter-of-fact: What was the...

Before I head off to a conference in San Diego on Tuesday I though I would post the first in what I hope to be several threads about the role of memory in the cigar experience… Imagine yourself sitting back enjoying a new cigar. As you take a nice long draw and exhale the smoke you think...

Not necessarily best and worst cigars! Best: * My little league coach smokin' a blueberry cigarillo, I can still smell it. * Smoking my grandfather's brand of cherry cigarillos. * Sittin on the floor 'in' the airport in Santiago, Chile waiting for a looong-delayed flight, smokin' a Cohiba Siglo...

Pressed between the pages of my mind. :)

Kirby Puckett died Monday, a day after the Hall of Fame outfielder had a stroke at his Arizona home, a hospital spokeswoman said. He was 44. No info other than that yet

I can think of a few events that weren't so nice. Like altbier's trial by fire. :)

I have just been going through my private message box and had a couple of messages from November 2001 from mcgoospot and jsl. Have not seen a posting from either of them for a while, does anyone know what happened to them? I know that both are cigar legends and their postings taught me most of...
