    Losing Interest IN Cubans

    The most memorable Cuban cigars I've experienced have had a very unique overtone that was floral and creamy/barnyard - reminded me of the scent of saddle conditioner of all things (but in a good way). I only experienced that overtone in one non-Cuban cigar, (Canimao), which aren't made anymore...

    Car Magazines

    In my 20s and 30s I had a few Corvettes over the years and picked up the obligatory magazines (I still have some in the garage). Also made the trip to Carlisle religiously for several years.

    JR Cigars: Total Joke

    They have a huge outlet for "consumer goods" at that location (clothes, housewares, etc.). The tobacco B&M was a store within the larger store.

    Tobacco Tossup #2: MacBaren's Fidgety Flakes

    Pure Virginia. I literally went through the tin in less than a week, first time I ever did that with a non-McClelland flake tobacco.

    JR Cigars: Total Joke

    My experiences with JR were primarily the Burlington NC store circa 2004 to 2008. I had a client in the area and would make monthly trips. The Burlington location had a massive pipe and tobacco section (a whole room dedicated to pipes and tobacco). To be honest, I think it was the most pipe...

    JR Cigars: Total Joke

    I used to stop in their B&M stores when I traveled in North Carolina 10-12 years ago. They were selling Sam Gawith tins for $6 each at the time nana That is just before SG became popular and unobtainable.

    4 Versions Of Jack Daniels And One Set Of Brit Tastebuds.

    Straight Rye can be great, in my experience the mouthfeel is lighter than bourbon and it has a spicier but dry finish.

    Recovering from the Flu - Any Tips to Regaining Taste?

    Yes, I do use the Neti pot quite religiously. Thanks for the advice! BTW, taste is about 75% back now.

    Frog Morton Cellar - Damn You to H#*L

    I smoked 80% McClelland for 20 years until their closing, but the other blenders I did appreciate at the time included Rattray's (Accountants Mixture, HOTW, Professional Mixture) and Sam Gawith (FVF, Brown, Balkan Flake). Although I must admit that I don't think Rattray's today is quite the...

    4 Versions Of Jack Daniels And One Set Of Brit Tastebuds.

    The last 15 years or so has been a renaissance for American spirits. Some of the gems I've discovered include Catoctin Creek Rye and Kopper Kettle Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey, both of which are distilleries here in Virginia, with very reasonable pricing.

    Is This Subject Taboo?...

    The carcinogens most of us have been exposed to that are related to lung cancer include: - Radon (yes it's real, and unless you live in a tent on the beach you should get your house tested) - Vinyl chloride (that new car smell, and portion of blue haze that develops on the inside of your...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Re-reading the Fire & Ice series by George RR Martin. I'm on 4th now (Feast for Crows). Hope to finish #5 if/when #6 ever comes out; not like it hasn't been several years in the waiting now. Looking for good horror reads, I always found short story anthologies to hold some hidden gems...

    Recovering from the Flu - Any Tips to Regaining Taste?

    Thanks for the replies. I was feeling much better yesterday, so I decided to try last night, but I couldn't get past a charring light. Been doing everything I know to speed recovery, just getting impatient (especially for the coffee).

    Recovering from the Flu - Any Tips to Regaining Taste?

    Had the flu pretty hard last week, and I'm mostly better other than congestion crud and awful taste/smell alteration that hasn't gotten better. My only taste buds that work are sour/bitter. No sweet, salty, or umami at all. Coffee tastes like canned green beans that were burned on the stove...

    Things That Suck For $100 Alex

    The public water utility bill. And we still buy bottled spring water with the fancy dispenser to drink because the liquid coming from the tap smells like a public pool.
