You probably never saw it, but there was a relatively short-lived series on the USA Network called Saving Grace. It was a cop show starring Holly Hunter as Grace, with the twist that Grace is being visited by an angel, who is attempting to save Grace from her self-destructive ways. Anyway, in one of [...]

If you are in one of the ten states that have Total Wine & More stores, be sure to get on their mailing list for some pretty decent coupons. Every few weeks they send out a coupon that gets you $2 off a six pack or a 22-ounce beer priced at $6.99 or more (up [...]

Slightly disappointed by last night’s random pairing, the only thing to do was head out onto the Lido deck and try to do a better job. I selected a Belgium beer to increase the odds of a good choice – Orval Trappist Ale – and a Nicaraguan cigar for the same reason. Tonight the Force [...]

Life is good. I scored with an impulsive cigar purchase, and I scored with tonight’s random pairing.
Partagas Black Label Pronto (4 3/16″ x 36)
The impulsive purchase in question was a box of Partagas Black Label Prontos. You need to understand that I don’t buy boxes of cigars. There are just too many great cigars out [...]

Any app that can help with the task of finding and researching beer is okay in my book. I found a couple that now hold places of honor on my iPhone.
The problems with so many iPhone apps that rely on data bases is that the data is so sparse that they little more than novelties. [...]

I wanted to give a heads-up for a new cigar site that contacted me — CigarsDirect.com. As soon as I get a chance to order from them I’ll follow up with a review, but I really like the site and the selection of cigars, including one of my favorites — God of Fire. The site [...]

Temperatures in Southern California are back in the 80s. The motorcycle is back on the road and the Lido Deck was singing its siren’s song. Time for a pairing of beer and cigar.
Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet, Magnum (6.0″ x 50)
I went to my humidor with no particular stick or style in mind, but was [...]

The fine folks that brought us the Orange County Beer Festival last year were kind enough not to make us wait an entire year for a repeat. The event was both magnificent and munificent last year, and in my review I suggested that any self-respecting beer drinker west of the Mississippi should plan on attending [...]

If you live in one of the nine states where Total Wine & More does business, you would do well to get on the mailing list. You will receive periodic coupons, like this month’s, for $2 of each four or six-pack of beer, up to four. Hey, eight bucks is eight bucks. As you can [...]

I may have well experienced the biggest tease of my adult life, and it was all self-imposed. Here is how it came about.
Weeks ago I signed up to go to the OC Beer Fest at Irvine Lake, to be held on Sunday, August 30, 2009. I think it was a first time thing, because I [...]
