Marevas (2/5)

  1. Not ashamed to say I do this often. If the cigar is plugged.. what do you have to lose. Sometimes it fixes the plug and you get two cigars out of it. And for the wrapper on the second half.. I have a stash of cracked cigars that I take some wrapper from to use as a patch. Just lick it and stick it. You can also take the cap after you snip it and patch it as well.
  2. SHHH!! Before you rip a whole in space-time!! Ibanez are just solid guitars, and I love the necks, though a lot of people don't. They always come out beautiful guitars....except for some reason they stick with basically bleach white maple necks ?. I really wish they had a custom shop that you didn't need to be famous to order from... Kiesels are just gorgeous. Entry is super cheap and you pick every detail of the guitar. From my experience they're super light and play like butter. The Kiesels have the same neck woods so I only showed a picture of the one. I'm looking to sell the Vader (black one).. I'm not a fan of the multiscale.. to me it feels less ergonomic.
  3. Cigars: anything from Cuba (but no seriously, my worst Cubans have been better than my best non-Cubans) Wine: Cabernet (and blend variations) Beer: Sour, German, citrus-y IPA's Coffee: medium roast - Caribbean & Indonesian Whisky: Japanese, Irish, Speyside. I hate bourbon\american whisky. All the barrel char is so overpowering. Guitars: Ibanez, Kiesel
  4. LAS - Jun 14 Unknown box code and date. Bought from the LCDH in Cozumel.
  5. Or those interested in mythology and the like.. I'm just going to leave these here... https://weather.com/science/space/video/mars-jupiter-saturn-offer-triple-treat-this-week March 18: Pestilent Planets - https://stardate.org/nightsky A conjunction of Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn is underway in the dawn sky. Jupiter is the brightest of the three. A similar conjunction in 1345 was blamed for the start of the Black Death in Europe, a plague caused by a bacterium carried by fleas. Mars - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nergal In the late Babylonian astral-theological system Nergal is related to the planet Mars. As a fiery god of destruction and war, Nergal doubtless seemed an appropriate choice for the red planet, and he was equated by the Greeks to the war-god Ares (Latin Mars) As god of the plague, he was invoked during the "plague years" during the reign of the Hittite king Suppiluliuma, when this disease spread from Egypt. Saturn - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninurta#Mythology In the Sumerian poem Lugal-e, also known as Ninurta's Exploits, a demon known as Asag has been causing sickness and poisoning the rivers.[15] Ninurta's talking mace Sharur urges him to battle Asag.[3] Ninurta confronts Asag, who is protected by an army of stone warriors.[8][5][25][3] Ninurta initially "flees like a bird",[3] but Sharur urges him to fight.[3] Ninurta slays Asag and his armies. In Babylonian times, Ninurta was associated with the planet Saturn Jupiter - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_(Babylonian_astronomy) Nibiru is a term in the Akkadian language, translating to "crossing" or "point of transition", especially of rivers In Babylonian astronomy, the term Nibiru refers to the equinox and the astronomical objects associated with it Venus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna She was associated with the planet Venus She was believed to have stolen the mes, which represented all positive and negative aspects of civilization, from Enki, the god of wisdom Inanna-Ishtar's most famous myth is the story of her descent into and return from Kur, the ancient Sumerian Underworld, a myth in which she attempts to conquer the domain of her older sister Ereshkigal, the queen of the Underworld, but is instead deemed guilty of hubris by the seven judges of the Underworld and struck dead. Three days later, Ninshubur pleads with all the gods to bring Inanna back, but all of them refuse her except Enki, who sends two sexless beings to rescue Inanna. They escort Inanna out of the Underworld, but the galla, the guardians of the Underworld, drag her husband Dumuzid down to the Underworld as her replacement. Dumuzid is eventually permitted to return to heaven for half the year while his sister Geshtinanna remains in the Underworld for the other half, resulting in the cycle of the seasons. The Moon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin_(mythology) Sīn was the god of the moon He is commonly designated as En-zu, which means "lord of wisdom The "wisdom" personified by the moon-god is likewise an expression of the science of astronomy or the practice of astrology, in which the observation of the moon's phases is an important factor The Spring equinox is March 19
  6. I didn't even realize this was three years old haha
  7. I've invested in crypto starting in 2017. If you have the time (and luck), you can find the charts that will give you 30% gains in 2 minutes... you will also see 30% losses in 2 minutes. I used to try and day trade but its so volatile you have to watch the charts on a minute interval if you want to jump in and out What people don't realize with all the alt-coins is that the coin is not necessary to use the protocol. For example Ripple (XRP).. Financial institutions don't have to leverage the XRP coin to use the ripple network. There is a difference between the coins and the blockchain technology that people don't realize. Bitcoin is the only thing I would suggest buying if you get into it, but you have to approach it with the mindset like you've already lost the money.. and at the end of the day it has no real value. It doesn't produce value.. it is simply worth what another person will pay for it. Buy it and forget about it for 10 years..
  8. Interesting... I very much enjoyed the format, being my first petite robusto.
  9. I think I bought a box of these on the same 24:24. Mostly the same experience... no evolution, but just a solid flavor packed cigar that's smooth throughout.
  10. Had my first Nudie last night. The N3. It was a beautifully clear night until I brought the telescope outside.I remember nothing special about the re-light notes other than perfect construction. The first third was kind of fuzzy and muddled feeling but time will smooth this out.The second is where all the buttery white toast which transitioned into toasted brioche & light coffee with cream. The weird thing is that one puff would be cool light coffee with cream, and the next would be bold toasted buttery brioche.. which seemed to get stronger into the 3rd. A new "twang" came out in the 3rd that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I think these will be really nice in a years time and see a lot of aging promise.
  11. Its still amazing... walking through a local 100% NC shops... so many cigars... so little desire to try any of them.. I come here eager to buy a box of just about anything, even if I've never tried it.
