Rogue American Amber Ale The Rogue Brewery in Oregon and the fine beers it produces reminds us once again to give thanks to Jimmy Carter. Although viewed by many as the worst President in modern history, he is the one that signed the bill in 1979 that repealed federal restrictions on home brewing of small [...]

Had a great workout just before retiring to the Lido deck, so I decided to skip the beer. I didn’t want to pollute my healthy body with alcohol, so I went with just water and a cigar, which provides only carbon monoxide, nicotine, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, volatile aldehydes, benzene, aromatic amines, vinyl chloride, ethylene oxide, [...]

Last night’s tasting was sponsored by the fine people that make Oliva (oh-lee-va) cigars. A bunch of door prizes were given out, but I didn’t win a thing. I think the fix was in. I love the draft beer at this place. I generally switch between the Stella Artois and the Alaskan Amber. Full size pints [...]

Ah, the power of the press. No doubt because of my stated displeasure with the March selection, the April Cigar of the Month Club shipment from Cigars International is much better and provides an interesting selection. First comes the Partagas Black Label Clasico (5.25″ x 54), which received a nice review and a 90 rating [...]

In a measured break with a half-century of U.S. policy toward communist Cuba, the Obama administration lifted restrictions Monday on Cuban-Americans who want to travel and send money to their island homeland. In a further gesture of openness, [...]

Perhaps too much information? I just learned that Bill Clinton and I have something in common, and it’s not Monica Lewinsky. I’ve reported here that while Gurkha cigars can be inconsistent, the Grand Reserve Gurkha Cigar is one of my favorites. Turns out it is also one of Clinton’s favorites, and it was that cigar that [...]

This month’s shipment from Cigar.com’s COMC provides some real promise. The “featured” cigar is the Tatuaje Havana VI, Nobles (5″ x 50). It’s a Nicaragua puro, as are a number of my favorite cigars. The “recommended” cigars are a Nub Habano, 466 (4″ x 66) and a Rocky Patel Fusion, Torpedo (6.2″ x 52). I’ve [...]

Gurkha Black Dragon Robusto (4.5″ x 52) I’m trying to remain a Gurkha fan, but it’s becoming more difficult. There are a number of Gurkha’s that I genuinely like, including the Titan and the Grand Reserve Churchill, infused with Louis XIII Cognac. But I’ve received some real substandard sticks from the company, the latest being [...]
