Sadly, nobody keeps young talent these days. It's all about the money. I remember MANY years ago, you knew the team roster and even the names of their wives and children. When you were drafted, you made that city and team home. Not so much anymore...

Yup, a big reason I don't enjoy the Pro Football as I did in the past. A number of NY Giant players would often come down to get in a half day of fishing on the Party Boats here,after having breakfast in a local diner before going out on the boat. Later they'd spend some in a Bar here. Regular guys. Times when you knew the names of everyone on the team, and those names did not change as quickly as now.

Yeah, I remember those days. That was the way it was for all sports during that time. Athletes have really cashed in on free agency. At least the Cubs have a large market and we will see how deep their pockets are.

My little brother had an apartment in Valley Ranch TX basically across the street from the Cowboys training facility back in the late eighties, early ninties. Needless to say, a lot of the roster that played for them lived there until their fate was decided. My son and I would jump in the 300ZX and drive down there almost every weekend and we'd play water volleyball from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. We met some very nice people. Those were some fun times! It's wild how fast the years go by. Hell, my son was around minus ten years old, and now he'll be forty in March with four grandchildren he's blessed me with....

2012 Pueblo Dominicana Torpedo with iced water on a cool but lovely evening.

I hope that the nuance comes through in this (too) long post but I'm smoking a favorite stick to celebrate my daughter, Elisabeth, achieving a personal milestone after an odd day.

http://www.autocarkr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2016-Subaru-Forester-release-date.jpg

Last year, Elisabeth was a new RN and she decided to buy a 2015 Subaru Forester (all-wheel drive) so that she'd be able to get to work in inclement weather. We went to GP, a Subaru dealer and were assisted by a pleasant young chap but soon, James, a Sales Manager, took over and he simply wouldn't stop talking .

James decided that my daughter HAD to buy an in-stock, low mileage, 2013 Impreza stick (she does drive a stick) but when he began to brow-beat her, I admonished him and we walked out. I don't hold a grudge and this past April, after my wife was rear-ended and her car totaled, she bought a Forester from GP (James no present). Our salesman was Roy.

Elisabeth was off today and we returned to GP to finally buy her a Forester. I asked for Roy but it was his day off and after about 15 minutes of waiting, Vicky was 'assigned' us. I explained that we knew the car, having purchased one from GP in April, but we wanted to see the 2016 features and to test drive their driver-assist 'Eye Sight' option. I told Vicky that if the price was right she'd sell a car today. Vicky showed us the new features but she needed to find a car to test drive 'Eye-Sight'.

James walked past us and spoke to the man in charge of floor sales. Vicky disappeared, ostensibly to find a car to test drive. James walked by again, stopped and engaged us, clearly recalling us and the night that he tried to sell us the Impreza.

"You missed a great deal on that Impreza, sold it early the next morning, just as I said it would."

"Really? I received emails for several weeks afterward saying that the Impreza was still available.", Elisabeth said with some surprise.

"Computer generated emails.", James answered. "Is someone helping you?"

"Yes, Vicky's helping us", I nodded.

"No, Vicky has something else to do, Jean will help you". James smiled and moved on.

Vicky walked past and I thanked her for her assistance.

"Yeah, right", her resentment didn't seem to be directed toward me.

I repeated to Jean what I'd previously told Vicky, emphasizing that if the price was right, we'd buy a car today.

The Eye-Sight performed inconsistently with Jean a consistent apologist for its mediocre performance. Elisabeth said that she wouldn't want this option but rather than return to the showroom, Jean let us drive around for another 15 minutes until I told her to direct us back.

While we waited outside for Jean to park, Elisabeth and I, almost at once, agreed that there was something creepy and out of whack with what was going on. We were both sure that James had made the salesperson switch but we didn't know why, nor why they'd not want us back in the showroom as quickly as possible. Jean rejoined us and Elisabeth asked her to quote a price.

"I need your name and phone number.", Jean said dryly.

As soon as we were back in the showroom, Jean extended her hand to Elisabeth and said, "I'll give Roy your number and he'll contact you."

"Elisabeth is interested in buying a car today.", I reminded her.

"Roy will contact you. Nice meeting you, goodbye." and she turned and walked away.

Two hours later, at a competing Subaru dealer, Elisabeth was signing the dotted line for her new, 2016, Subaru Forester. Later she would think about what she would say to Roy when he called.

I'm actually not surprised by this surreal tale. Car dealers are a mysterious bunch, and when my wife and I shopped for a car a couple of years ago we walked out of quite a few dealers totally bewildered.... We finally bought on Craigslist.

Just smoked a Brick House for the first time. Disappointing after all the praise, 92-rating etc. Very ordinary, and little bitter and acrid.

That's crazy. I had a slightly lower intensity version of that at a Ford dealer. Four years ago I wanted to get a new F150, and needed to get one that day or very soon thereafter, for reasons I won't bore you with, so I was willing to buy from dealer stock. I had the A Plan, so there was no dickering on the price, and I knew what features I needed and which ones I was flexible on. I went to the larger volume dealer in town and absolutely could not get the attention of any of the "sales" staff milling around. So I went to the smaller volume dealer and drove off in Maybelline that afternoon. Great salesman; I even got him down to a dollar over cost for the Rhino Liner (bed coating).

Oh, and just to get back on topic, smoking a Brohiba at the moment :)

I'm actually not surprised by this surreal tale. Car dealers are a mysterious bunch, and when my wife and I shopped for a car a couple of years ago we walked out of quite a few dealers totally bewildered.... We finally bought on Craigslist.

Just smoked a Brick House for the first time. Disappointing after all the praise, 92-rating etc. Very ordinary, and little bitter and acrid.

In my opinion the maduro is far better than the regular Brickhouse.

I had been sick, and not smoked since last week. So, as an early anniversary gift, my wife handed me a Sons of Anarchy Prospect to light up tonight. I think I picked a good one.

That's crazy. I had a slightly lower intensity version of that at a Ford dealer. Four years ago I wanted to get a new F150, and needed to get one that day or very soon thereafter, for reasons I won't bore you with, so I was willing to buy from dealer stock. I had the A Plan, so there was no dickering on the price, and I knew what features I needed and which ones I was flexible on. I went to the larger volume dealer in town and absolutely could not get the attention of any of the "sales" staff milling around. So I went to the smaller volume dealer and drove off in Maybelline that afternoon. Great salesman; I even got him down to a dollar over cost for the Rhino Liner (bed coating).

Between you and Chico I feel a little less like I had crap in my pants. Not glad to know that you guys were treated the same way but it does make me believe that some of these fools prejudge people and their intent.

My post was already too long so I left out several other things that Elisabeth and I noticed. I could have written this...

As soon as we were back in the showroom, Jean extended her hand to Elisabeth and said, "I'll give Roy your number and he'll contact you."

Elisabeth and I went to the restroom, not knowing that each of us was trying to get our head around the bizarre behavior. When we returned I said to Jean...

"Elisabeth is interested in buying a car today.", I reminded her.

"Roy will contact you. Nice meeting you, goodbye." and she turned and walked away.


My store had 7 Caminetto Super Moustache pipes that ranged in price from $750-$2,500 (1982). There probably weren't 7 other Super Moustaches in the rest of the USA combined. These were Hen's Teeth of Caminetto.


http://images.smokingpipes.com/products/004-006-4964.jpg


A new customer, Stan, clad in denim and looking like a biker (he was), asked to look at the Caminettos. I opened the showcase, let him browse and I walked away. He negotiated a small discount and no tax, promising to buy them all and over the next several months he did. Along the way he told me that in other stores they'd hover over him or not even open the showcase.

With each pipe that he bought I'd give him a tin of Sobranie White and he'd fill these over-sized pipes to the brim and smoke them, one match, to the bottom over a couple of hours with a gifted and experienced cadence. He's the best technical smoker I ever met and I learned a lot from him and I never half-fill new pipes since. He's a gentleman I'm glad to have known and I had the good sense to not prejudge his potential as a customer or person.

Found this in the bottom of one of my humidors. Looks like I bought it as a single from cbid 7 months ago. I don't usually smoke Churchills but this one is excellent.

Just polished off a Toro sized puro de torcedor I got at my local tobacconist about a year ago and which had been resting in my Humi ever since. The Spanish tobacco ditributor does this from time to time, they bring Torcedores from the Dominican Republic or cuba and have them tour the shops.
It was good, and the draw was perfect, but a bit too mellow and one-dimensional for my taste.

Grimalkin Robusto...5x50...Good cigar.
Just going to go ahead and say that the Grimalkin Robusto is the #1 cigar in this size I've smoked.
If...I could pick only one cigar to smoke, no other choices from now on, and that had to be a Robusto, at 48 rg or larger.
The Grimalkin would be it for me. Have only smoked the two sizes of the Grimalkin, Robusto and Torpedo, once the few I have on hand are gone...that's it.
Only cigar I've smoked this year that has been almost as pleasurable is the HR (Hirochi Robiana) they're close... but it's still an*almost*.
Hard for me try to compare, because it's been so long since I've last smoked either the Ramon Alones or La Gloria Cubana, my favourite Cubans,and I do not recall a Robusto in either of those brands.
So all in all...right now...Grimalkin is my #1 choice.

The qualifier for the above is that old...smoke what you like.

[DLtoker]

Unfortunately I can't compare it for you as I haven't had the Jekyll. But, this stick was decent, in general. To be fair, it really needs more time in the humidor and I'm not convinced mine will be ready to smoke even on Halloween, darn it... Lots of potential though!

I certainly haven't been blown away by any of the Tat LEs I've smoked this year. The M80 was the best but the Jackal, Whore and TAA were frankly just OK at best. I still went for a box of the Hydes but the whole chasing LE game is wearing pretty thin.

I certainly haven't been blown away by any of the Tat LEs I've smoked this year. The M80 was the best but the Jackal, Whore and TAA were frankly just OK at best. I still went for a box of the Hydes but the whole chasing LE game is wearing pretty thin.

I only had the Jackal so far and was not impressed. I'm hoping I didnt buy a box of turds lol

Cool thanks. I'll chalk mine up to my having smoked too much beforehand, and I'll try another. I haven't had many LFDs that didn't agree with me.

I lit up a 5 Vegas Gold a little while ago when it was bright and sunny out. For reasons I'm not even going to attempt to explain, I prefer CT wrappers when it's sunny out. Then it got cloudy. I'll have be more careful next time :)

Late Sunday evening Paul Stulac Cross...6x64...one the nice features,for me, is that the Paul Stulac cigars smoke very much alike in his lines.
Black Midnight Sun, Red Screaming Sun,White Blinding Light and the Classic Blend
.By tweaking the blends the blenders manage to deliver the same smoking experience within each line,
even as the sizes/shapes vary. To a degree or quality of consistency that few makers deliver as well.

I haven't seen such a brilliant play in a spell. WTH was that?...

David, if there was a Darwinian Award for football plays, this play was it. Looked more like a publicity stunt than a football play.


2012/3 La Gloria de Cubana ??. Size is about 5-3/4" x 48-rg. Cafe du Monde (New Orleans) coffee, light.

A blind tasting of sorts. I'm unfamiliar with this La Gloria (different band) and I forgot the details while it's been sitting in my smoking humidor for a few years. Usually nothing lasts more than a couple of months in there.

Excellent construction, well flagged. Beautiful, clean CT type wrapper but a bit darker and more saturated color than Ecuador grown. Initially a tight draw but quickly improved (to firm) and a near perfect burn.

More subtle than CT with a heavy does of Nicaraguan leaf, yet brighter than a Macanudo. Has more depth, body and nuance than either. I taste Dominican and Nicaraguan leaf but there's something else that I can't place (and I don't think is the wrapper). Nice snork that's rich and sweet with a little spice.

Started like a Macanudo with cajones and has gently evolved toward Nic-CT in sweetness but more cream and less acid. An exceptional Connecticut stick.

Anyway, don' t see much Chicory Coffee on store shelves round here now.
Cafe au Lait, Cafe con Leche. Or when asking for Coffee in England/Wales...White or Black?
Sure glad there's Coffee. Need, really need that.

Morning Bob,

This tin of coffee is special because my younger daughter bought it for me. They're all adults but I'm a real mush when my kids get me anything.

2013 Partagas 1845 Crystal with Cafe du Monde chicory coffee light. I was thinking this AM that I like this coffee enough to get some more.

A nice looking cigar, oily sheen and five sunspots (4 visible). Like chicory coffee that once had a following, there was a time when some BOTL looked for these freckles on their sticks.

Exceptionally dark, nearly maduro, this is easily the best of these Partagas that I've had (~4), very deep with rich fruit. Medium-full, with a perfect burn and a nicely spiced (not spicy) snork. Is it the sunspots?

[Old Smokey]

With gun deer season 3 weeks away I got out my deer rifle with plans to hit the range and make sure it was sighted in. I noticed the scope was loose and somehow one of the rings was stripped and wouldn't properly tighten. Put a new set of rings on it a couple of days ago and am heading to the range in a few minutes to get it dialed in. Grabbed a Jericho Shots for the 30 minute drive to the range.

My father #5 Toro...6x56...good smoke, tho would rather a smaller ring gauge.

Neverbend's mentioning the New Orleans Chicory Coffee had me thinking/remembering. Seems there was more of the Chicory Coffee in the years following the Second World War.Some ex Navy had acquired the taste for the Chicory added during those years.
Anyway, don' t see much Chicory Coffee on store shelves round here now.
Cafe au Lait, Cafe con Leche. Or when asking for Coffee in England/Wales...White or Black?
Sure glad there's Coffee. Need, really need that.
Addicted to Coffee, do think Coffee and Cigars pair up well any time. Seems as if most morning smokers opt for the milder cigars.
I've just finished third cup a Java...and time, past time to grab a smoke
.Something My Father....Ok, a #1 Robusto 5.2x52 is about get warmed up. Last of the day, my day, Night Owl that I am.

I haven't had any for many years. I'm enjoying the heck out of my first LA Gloria Cubana Series R Maddy Belicoso. Great smoke!...

With gun deer season 3 weeks away I got out my deer rifle with plans to hit the range and make sure it was sighted in. I noticed the scope was loose and somehow one of the rings was stripped and wouldn't properly tighten. Put a new set of rings on it a couple of days ago and am heading to the range in a few minutes to get it dialed in. Grabbed a Jericho Shots for the 30 minute drive to the range. Rifle is an old 1903A3 Sporter with a old Weaver V9-W scope. I am glad I checked my setup early and didn't wait til the last minute.

We had youth gun season last weekend. My buddy took his nine or ten year old granddaughter out to the farm. Saturday evening she harvested a sixteen point non typical that field dressed 235 lbs. Friggin' monster!...

All this talk of Chickory has peaked my interest.

I was at the JR Cigars in Burlington, almost a year ago and someone talked me into an Edition Limitada Alt Cohiba Sublime

Chicory coffee is worth a try, think it, the Chicory is said to negate some of the acidic taste.

2013 Torano Loyal robusto with Cafe du Monde coffee (~25% milk) on a very chilly morning (5c/41f), brrrrr....

Viaje 5th Anniversary, and presumably this was a one-time run so this cigar is from 2012. It's good, probably my favorite Viaje so far. More delicate than most Viajes I've had, but has a mellow, spicy smoothness that I'm enjoying a lot right now. It's still raining which might be why I'm having to work a little harder than normal to keep it lit, but overall still a nice smoke.

Better than I was expecting. Earthy, nutty with good fruity floral notes. Wish it had a longer finish but the smoothness sort of made up for it. Reminded me of a cross between a Partagas and a Julius Caesar (earth + fruity spice). Perfect for a fall morning.

Cigar wasn't too bad but nothing to write home about. Great construction and burn as with most padron's; but very delicate ash... I couldn't get it to hang on more than 3/4 of an inch.

Almost got ash on my pork tenderloin I was grilling...
