    Core Memory from Traveling?

    This just popped into my head while watching an old episode of Wild, Wild West. I'm interested in core memories from travels, something that could be quite small but has always stuck with you and you look back on fondly. For me I was redesigning Nike's call center software and as part of the...

    Wait, what?

    Let's here one of those questions that movies just never answer or plot holes you could drive an 18 wheeler through that just grind your gears, you know speaking of 18 wheeler. I was watching Death Rides a Horse, decent enough spaghetti western, a great showcase for Lee Van Cleef being Lee Van...

    Celebration Restaurant?

    What restaurant your family would go to for celebrations that you didn’t realize wasn’t a 5-star restaurant till you grew up? For me it was Sizzler or a bday would be Red Lobster (well once).

    Blends That Compliment Each Other

    I usually smoke 2 or 3 blends in my rotation, my go to blends. They all do a nice job of complimenting each other that is bringing out something special in each. I do this a lot with cigars, something more hay barnyard like a CoRo then something more on the espresso / chocolate note side like...

    Article About Mad Magazine

    Informative and interesting for those of us that remember Alfred E Newman and Mad. Probably remember it being better than it was, but it really did give us so many iconic recurring characters. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/a-brief-history-of-mad-magazine?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

    So I'm getting the killer toothache / infection, texted a cigar buddy that's a doc in Cali and asked him to put in a prescription for me and he put it in for my local Walgreens. I call them to check on status get through the phone tree and get a nice automatic status update. You're...

    Career Change?

    Now here’s a job for me, probably make me start low and work my way up to first though. But to make this a real thread, how long have you been at your current career and bonus points for what you do. I’ve worked a lot of job and finally got a lucky break designing software, been at it...

    Question for Jim

    @JimInks I looked and looked, so i'll just ask for everyone, in your reviews you says "just under medium nic hit", "taste is a step above medium". So what is mild, medium and strong to you? Could you give us one or two examples of each mild, medium and strong for taste, nic hit and whatever...

    So You Thought Penzance Was Expensive

    The secondary market is crazy for some pipe tobaccos but can't hold a candle to this... fresh Cubans.... $500 a pop, it's a book cigar, so $10,000 for the book. Gee wonder who will be buying these rich Chinese or rich Arabs, most likely both. I've smoked a few of them (back door without the...

    If You Get ...

    If you get arrested for bank robbery that means you weren't successful, being caught and all, so shouldn't it be attempted bank robbery, and in that case no one should actually ever get charged with bank robbery? Pondering this while enjoying some 2018 CRF in a meer.

    50/50? Not Quite.

    Rather interesting paper linked below, but the odds of a coin flip are not actually 50/50, they are 51/49 depending on which is face up when flipped. Which is kind of cool but the thing that got me was, spinning a US One Cent regular penny on a flat surface and letting it spin till it drops ...

    Happy Man on the Moon Day!

    Ok pretty sure that's not a real thing, but July 16 1969 was the day, a little after 9am EST. Growing up less than 40 miles from Pad 39A and living here a majority of my life I'm a lover off all things space. I was 2 when Apollo 11 lifted off and sadly remember nothing of it, my mom told me...
