  1. Past hour
  2. cattleya family, possibly laelia variety. a while back we kept these and other flavors of orchids. for a plant that thrives in a crack in a rock or a crotch of a tree, people seem to have trouble raising orchids. water and food, gentle sunlight, warm place to live, it can be a fun hobby.
  3. Today
  4. A wonderful E2 (2017) from our gracious host to start off the long weekend.
  5. I was in Barcelona around this time last year. Smoking outside is no problem. Bring your own cigars. Little to no selection.
  6. While I have not personally messed around with growing orchids I have often given them as gifts, as they are my favorite family of flowers. I was surprised that my mother had been keeping some of the ones I had given her and sure enough, after 2+ years of no bloom they came back as beautiful as ever. Now there are some that she's kept around for 6+ years must be. Interestingly enough the blue ones from the local grocery came back white as snow. (I had always heard that blue orchids weren't a thing and that they were dyed by florists, turns out that is true to some degree).
  7. Thanks much for introducing me to this podcast! My family and I live in a rural area of PA. Smoking buddies are limited and my schedule can be a bit chaotic. When I do have time to enjoy a cigar, I throw on a lounge podcast OR a Prez and Ken FOH review and it’s as if I’m enjoying a smoke with my buddies. Cheers!
  8. Interesting....and there was I convinced it was going to be the Loch Ness Monster drawing it off course using alien space magnets tied to his tail
  9. This thread only goes to prove that orchids are the toughest plants in the world. They thrive on neglect 😁
  10. I noticed the great majority of what's in the book was not in the auction. Some of the most valuable items like the Boli Especiales No. 2, Gold Medal, SLR Prominentes, Diplomatic Lanceros, Siglo XXI humi, 1492, 1987 and 1994 aren't in there. If this auction total is any indication he's probably got another $10-20 million worth at least. This lot was probably just what was lying around the house.
  11. I have an OnlyFans. I know what you're thinking and yes, cigars are involved.
  12. Beautiful cigar, sorry forgot to take the band off. box from 2023, forgot the factory code. 1st 3rd: plenty smoke output which I love, pepper off the bat for the first 1/2 of this along with leather. Some sweetness and cream come in on the finish in the latter half. 2nd third: definitely transformed with the warmth, much more creamy, medium body, sweet hay take over and pepper is now on the finish instead of in your face like the 1st third. Bread notes/carbs lol. 3rd third: pepper picks up, barnyard and cream fades. Leather is mostly it. Fairly 2 dimensional, not very complex but overall a good smoke. Would smoke it when not having to pay attention, like golf or drinking with friends.
  13. X - very passive (news and sports lurker) FB - passive - use for group and membership communication (neighborhood/local groups, golf club, CrossFit gym) and birthday reminders IG - keep in touch with old friends a bit here and there. Post every few years. LinkedIn - read industry news and admire feel good stories of many a corporate hero telling tales of how they've humbly saved the world
