  1. Past hour
  2. Beautiful spring weather for an after lunch cigar, my first RASS, April 2023 from a quarter box from our host with the most.
  3. Spicy Caesar. I've had a few rough mornings where it was the magical cure.
  4. Oh believe me. I have been waist high in the rotting cadavers of Saturday night fare of which you talk. My comment was just to admire the uniformity of the mess. Like so much barbed wire and mud
  5. You have not lived until you tuck into one. Glorious!
  6. @Capn_Jackson If you're going to smoke something, you may as well smoke something. I'm kinda distracted but this is happening. I nip off the pigtail with fingernails. This starts with hay and honey and intensity on the tongue and lips. It's flavor all way to 11. After a couple inches, the honey thickens to agave syrup, then golden treacle. The hay keeps a beat. Graham crackers become involved about halfway. It's pure twang. The smoke is thick syrup. I don't like lanceros. They're fidgety to smoke, NC ones are often blended for power up front, I inevitably get ash everywhere. This is different. The construction is spot on, the draw immaculate, and it's just smooth and dreamy. Getting to the band, I pick up toasted marshmellow and the twang becomes distinctly orange citrus. The golden treacle becomes condensed milk and the Graham crackers fade into baking spice. The nub brings in coffee that slowly builds into a bitterness that let's me know I done. Great cigar. 👍 let's hope the rest of my day can be as good!
  7. Fuzz.......!! This looks like a diorama of the Somme.
  8. A must imho is mechanical-automatic movement. I would buy second hand from Chrono24, depending on the budget and the deal, Baume & Mercier, Omega, or a vintage Doxa. I like Movado, clean classy, but their quartz watches are nicer. Tissot are great entry level watches also.
  9. How about a Tudor 1926? Check Chrono24 you’ll find some at a good deal I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Today
  11. Thanks! Here’s the BR109 review I referenced: https://www.fohcigars.com/forum/topic/156671-bond-roberts-109-cigar-review-[emoji2962]/#comment-1210312
  12. It definitely does reflect. Not enough to bug you, but the effect is there for sure vs other dials that dampen or diffuse more. The colour does make it less pronounced, and adds depth and variety based on lighting conditions as well. Pics of the Omega? Such great watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. My wife's Omega has an enamel dial in white. It reflects a bit too much for me. I think that's due to white as much as enamel. Looks great though!
  14. It was terrific. I think though, its a habano wrapper, rather than Connecticut. I'm a huge fan of Honduran tobacco.
  15. The Full Recovery Recipe before bed: enormous glass(es) of water, your choice of munchies, ibuprofen, and four electrolyte capsules (i buy mine from Klean Athlete). i'm sure there are cheaper options out there, shop around. morning: ice cold shower. like that scene from the beginning of apocalypse now. do not even think about touching that hot water handle. 10 minutes of low-intensity exercise. just go walk or stumble around the neighborhood, preferably to the corner store. ONE gatorade or sports drink of your choice (full sugar) ONE protein shake small serving of yogurt, granola, and your choice of fruit (i go for blueberries), mixed in a bowl. caffeine of choice. i like a double espresso. nicotine after that routine, you will doubtless be seated on the porcelain goddess, requiring a second shower. you may now use hot water. shave. go about your day, consuming more water than normal. pray or beg for mercy. Hair of the Dog preferably at the nearest bar that serves breakfast: eggs your way, choice of meat, hashbrowns, caffeine of choice vodka and 7up, splash of orange juice--a Screw Up, AKA the poor man's mimosa repeat until satisfied optional: water
  16. The Padrón family has announced the passing of Rodolfo “Rudy” Padrón at the age of 62. “A humble and thoughtful man, Rudy was a loving and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and advisor,” the company wrote in social media posts announcing his passing. “Rudy was a calm, patient and caring teacher and mentor, always available to those who asked for or needed his life advice and guidance.” Like everyone who works at Padrón, Rudy didn’t have a formal job title, working in a number of roles, primarily with the sales and logistics teams for the company, including the company’s factory in Estelî, Nicaragua. He was the nephew of company founder José Orlando Padrón. https://halfwheel.com/rodolfo-rudy-padron-passes-away/438102/
