If you haven’t yet discovered CigarMonster.com, you should probably leave it that way. I usually have a tab on my browser open to CigarMonster. It’s a cool hourly timer, with a demonic laugh playing at the top of every hour when Famous Smoke Shop offers a new deal for that hour. Problem is, I always [...]

The weather here in Southern California has been crazy, dipping down into the low 60s! I had to search through the back of my closet to find a light jacket in order to go outside to smoke a cigar. They’ll probably close schools and stuff until we get back into the 70s. Nonetheless, I braved [...]

Enjoying a great night with some friends at the Winery at The District in Tustin. The Winery has a great cigar-friendly patio with Monday night football on the big screen. With my Glenmorangie Scotch I enjoyed an Alec Bradley Harvest Selection 1997 and a CAO America. Typing on my iPhone so I’ll keep it short. [...]

Trying a new app on iPhone that’s supposed to post to my blog. We’ll see how this goes. I’m at the 8Eightyeight Lounge in Fullerton. Frankie the manager talked me to a Gurkha Evil, but he’s going to owe me one for this travesty. Harsh just turned into slightly less harsh, and it won’t stay [...]

Thinking of going to one of the Big Smoke events sponsored by Cigar Aficionado? A few days ago I attended The Big Smoke in Las Vegas, and here are my impressions. I attended only the night portion of the event, not the day seminars or whatever it is they do, so keep that in mind. [...]

I picked up a cigar made by Maker’s Mark in celebration of their 10th anniversary. I didn’t know Maker’s Mark made cigars, and since their bourbon has been around since 1933, I don’t know what 10th anniversary they are celebrating (even their website offers no clue). But they make a fine bourbon, so I bought [...]

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 found a very cool cigar store in Tustin, California in late 2008. Between my cigar of the month clubs and purchases at the 8Eightyeight lounge I don’t make it to brick and mortar cigar stores very often, including Tony’s Fine Cigars at Red Hill and El Camino Real. However, a buddy needed to buy [...]

Been awhile since I’ve been beer shopping, and given the paucity of the selection of beers in my beer fridge, it looked like I was going to have to review a Coors Light (I keep them around for the plebs) until I remembered “the drawer.” The drawer is a crisper in my beer fridge where [...]

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 [...]
