  1. Noah Gunderson's "Carry The Ghost" album while smoking a PSD4. A hauntingly beautiful soundtrack as the curls of smoke danced into the moonlit night. For 45 minutes my life felt profound and perfect. Below is video of a recent live performance of some songs from the album.

  5. Having worked on several magazines, I can say that this is a common occurrence. Here's how it happens. A photographer is asked to shoot several cigars that may appear in an article. A photo editor chooses the best shots and passes them on to the designer for page layout. While waiting for final edited article text, the designer works on other pages, such as the intro page you mentioned. They choose the best photo for the large intro shot...the Hamlet Tabaquero salomon. The writer submits the article and their editor cuts the Hamlet Tabaquero review. The designer lays out the final article not realizing that the Hamlet Tabaquero image on the intro page is no longer relevant. In their mind that page is "done". They aren't even thinking about it. They have dozens of other pages to do before deadline. Proofreaders don't find the error because it's not misspelled or a punctuation error. So, something like this isn't really a reflection of the quality of their reviews. That's subjective. Hope that helps, Michael

  8. Since I have the ear of some wine guys. I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a "corked" cigar? Not literally of course, but a similar issue that would render an otherwise high quality stick disappointing.
  9. So true. Point scores and reviews miss out on the context. If I'm eating fish tacos on a beach I don't want a 100 point Napa Cab. A beer will do me fine.
  10. Hi Ken, I know Calvert Woodley well. I'm guessing MacArthur's was the other shop you recall. I've enjoyed the banter between you and Rob in the YouTube videos. It reminds me of my purple toothed friends when we gather for a proper drinking here in the states. Best, Michael
  11. I'm in the wine business in Virginia (USA) and an FOH member is one of our customers. He's been gracious enough to share some of his CCs and now I'm hooked. Today, I received my first box (PSD4s) and am going to order some of the other "classic" CCs before venturing into some limited editions or regional releases. I just want to thank all of you who contribute to this great community. It's been a great source for a new smoker. Best, Michael
