Good idea!   Thanks for the suggestion.   Probably will try one of my milder go-to's that I am pretty familiar with and then I will have an idea of where my palate is,   Appreciate the heads up.

Damnit. When I had sinus surgery 6 weeks ago, I really only had serious craving for cigars during the first several weeks. Until I opened this thread.   Six weeks down, six more weeks to go. I am committed to making the full 90 days healing.   Will think about which one I will smoke first, and...

I have no clue on sour beers, but have tried warmer temps and absolutely loving it.   I tend towards imperial stouts, baltic porters and similar.   I'm drinking the right at 55 degrees and wow, fullest, best flavors ever.

Great pickup, Chris! Really looks nice. I would have to add peltiers or change my lifestyle. Summer can be brutal in SC;and going in and out of the AC so often, we enjoy life more in the summer with the thermostat set around 76. We feel better, seem healthier with the house at that temp in...

Sitting in ENT's waiting room for final post op visit after sinus surgery. Good read. As to addiction, I had been gradually increasing how many cigars I smoke weekly. However, when I had to stop due to sinus surgery I had cravings in the first ten days or so which then continued to diminish...

I would think so.   Should be fine if the box seals well. If you're concerned, just slip box and all in a large zip lock. Or, just double bag them in large zip locks and no box.   If most of your stuff is in boxes, that will help protect them from cross contamination.   My wife is allergic to...

I don't know about putting them in the freezer or refrigerator. Someone may say they like that course of action, but personally - I don't like exposing them to that much temperature differential.   Sounds like mold. Particularly if over-humidified. If they are easy to return and get refunded...

Thanks for the updates. Often, the staff for your current US senator, or congressman can help get things done with VA. I have been pleasantly surprised at some of the anecdotal assistance things I have heard. Also, if I understand correctly, disability is handled at the state level (where I...

I grabbed the dirty rats because I happened to see the post here at CP.   I've never been willing to jump thru the hoops and pay the price for Pappy or other exotic whiskeys or cigars. I might well pay the price if readily available, but spending time and energy to track it down just doesn't...

While I have no definitive answer or comment on this, I have read some posts to the effect that newer cigars (beginning with the changes where they are good right out of the box) start losing instead of gaining benefits somewhere around the 8 year mark. Only thing I've ever smoked that had some...

well, I just had my one week appointment after sinus surgery.    This has gone surprisingly well. I have had head colds that were worse than having the surgery done.. Surgical techniques have improved dramatically since my last go round twenty years ago.   The Dr. used balloon Sinuplasty on the...

Really glad to hear that you are doing as well as you are, and with such a great attitude. :thumbs:

Great target! :thumbs:

Thanks for the support and suggestions.   I haven't smoked since problems returned a week or more back. I will not smoke until I am well healed.   I may wind up taking a good bit more time off than I want.   I had sinus surgery twenty years ago, and for a number of months was quite sensitive to...

My view is based on whether or not it is an even or odd numbered day!   On even numbered days, I am a skeptical cynic. On odd numbered days, I am a cynical skeptic. :)

I almost responded when you posted this that I was thinking along similar lines.   Went to ENT, who ordered a CAT scan of head.   Went back to ENT today to review CAT scan. As the Dr. was peeling back layers of the scan showing me, I knew before he finished that surgery was where we were going...

I just picked up a fiver of dirty rats at $75 including shipping because I have never had one, and wanted to try them under current practices. One of the main things being they are in a vitola I really enjoy and which is hard to find.   Frankly, cannot imagine paying that price for them again in...

While no one doubts the possibility that things may in fact improve, I agree with BBS that some skepticism is warranted. While I am not aware of any empirical evidence either way, anecdotal evidence and general observations on my part have been that more often than not such a takeover may well...

I've had some LFD coronado Hammer from 2008, right up there with some of the very best I have had including cubans.   I have some of the last of the coronado line, some Tatuaje, and a couple of boxes of Anejos  that I'm planning to let sit for as many years as I can.   The years seem to marry...

I prefer things the way they are, on cigars at least
