    Things I Found Thrifting

    The case is just a bit bigger than the inserts. If I hold it upside down it will fall out. Maybe a piece of tape at the bottom to fatten it up.

    Things I Found Thrifting

    The Warden sent me to an antique shop to pick up a hat my daughter saw yesterday and regretted not buying. I found this Pfeilring Solingen cigar cutter for $12 while I was poking around. I’ve always seen them in magazines and such but never in the wild. Pretty cool and from what I see on eBay, a...

    Snowy day but not in the cigar lounge.

    F1 2025 🏎️

    This was my first season following F1. I gravitated toward Piastri early on for some reason that I can't quite pinpoint. It may have been that he seemed calm and cool and not arrogant as he rose to the top of the leaderboard while some of the other drivers seemed like real douchebags. I...

    Winnings from Cigar Snob Magazine!

    Well I cleaned up in November and took home two wins during Espinosa Month. One week I won a La Bomba tin sign, lighter and ashtray along with a G-SHOCK watch. Two weeks before that I won an Espinosa hoodie and hat. My wife said she’s going to restrict my internet access on Fridays!

    They did! They even used it as a shoulder patch on their NHL uniforms. The whale's name is "Pucky" by the way!

    Things I Found Thrifting

    I’ve been eyeing this New England Whalers lighter for a couple months at a local antique shop and today my wife told me that she wanted to get it for me for Christmas. It is NOT a Zippo and there aren’t any markings on it except “JAPAN” on the bottom and “Wind Proof Lighter” on the original box...

    Boxpressed: What For?

    I don't like them. Most box pressed smokes are rectangular as opposed to square. If the burn is off, you may have to rotate the cigar and smoke it the "long" way to even it out. Just don't like. There are a couple smokes that are so damn good, I just don't care, like Ashton VSG, Foundation Olmec...

    Cigar Event with Chazz Palminteri

    Great night at the cigar lounge with Chazz Palminteri, writer and star of A Bronx Tale. Everyone got a signed box of his signature smokes and a bottle of his wine. Chazz hung around to take pictures with everyone. Great story teller too!

    F1 2025 🏎️

    I felt so bad for Piastri. He seemed completely dejected. Watching Max and Sainz hooting and hollering for their P1 and P3 finishes, and he's on the P2 podium looking like he'd rather be anywhere else. Regardless of the fact that he most likely won't win the WDC, I hope he has a great race on...

    Cigar TAD 2025

    Well, my most recent TAD is a cigar lounge membership. The annual membership includes a monthly, use it or lose it, bar credit that almost completely offsets the annual membership. The space is beautiful with a huge comfortable seating area, several TVs and a full bar. As part of my...

    I am the same way. I have two speeds; all out and passed out.
