I don’t know how long it will last, but someone gave me a heads-up on an amazing deal at Cigars International. Called the Motherload Number 10 Sampler, it’s 40 very respectable cigars for 100 bucks. The stick that caught my eye is the Gurkha Titan, a favorite of mine that goes for $30 by itself. [...]

I really like the convenience of cigars that come in glass tubes. I can toss a couple in my briefcase with no worries about keeping them properly humidified, since the they travel in their own self-contained environment. So, to that end, I checked around for the best price on one of my favorite glass tubo [...]

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 the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
