Totally agree.

Or another way of saying that, might be that they did not monitor hematocrit levels. While I am not a physician or a medical technologist certified to work in a medical lab, I think what likely happened was that as a result of the testosterone injections his hematocrit levels increased to the...

one of the reasons I posted the thread is that I have come across and heard some weird stuff out there, with people singing the praises of regimes which I would not consider safe. I also have associates who "go to a doctor for series" of various injections including among other things human...

I am trying to remember any CC that I have had that was spicy, and can't think of one.   Course my memory is not what it used to be, so is that just me?   Are there spicy CC's out there?

A dealer that has been banned from here will not be getting any of my business even if a good deal or a great, and unbelievable deal.

"reputable dealers" was what I said in my post.   I'm not saying that it can't be done, if you wish to have dealings with people that the membership here does not want to deal with.   At this point, I am still unaware of any that exist from "reputable" dealers.   If you wish to do business with...

I  have not heard of any groupons for premium cigars at any reputable dealers.   Not sure they would work in the industry.   Maybe they have existed and done well, but I have never heard of it.

Thanks for the kind words. One reason I thought about posting is that I know a couple of guys, one in early forties and another early fifties that have had to deal with it and had a difficult time doing so.   They found out the hard way that very few doctors have the knowledge or willingness to...

After several days of not smoking, and lacking few symptoms of common sinus problems my facial pain returned at 4 AM this morning and is at a lower level but still enough for me to cancel a three night trip next week.   While I do have minor symptoms of allergies, and am irrigating, I do not...

I cannot emphasize how important the doctor is in this. Many of them have no clue, and some of thing want you to come in to the office for a shot each week. Basically, if the doctor is open to suggestion and willing to look at and try a different way of going about things any GP can still be a...

Down sides? Well, while you're changing levels you can be much like a woman going through menopause.  Happened to me when I started, and again a few months back when I went to subcutaneous from Intramuscular.   Google it, there are potential negative side effects. Most of them appear similar to...

Several years ago, my doctor said to me "I know you've got a big pair, and they are producing but not as much as they used to."   Suggested we start a regime to increase testosterone levels.   Fast forward to today, and I will share with you what I have learned. Many men will face this situation...

Thanks for all the input.   I'm doing better, cutting back further and trying to cut down on retrohale seems to be helping more than a bit.   FWIW, I couldn't understand why at the worst times the whole side of my head, and teeth hurt  and finally realized that the problems/symptoms were very...

I hope not!   If you have located decent sources for cubans and are enjoying them in the US now, lifting the embargo will quite likely make prices on cubans up, and availability down. For several years, anyhow.   However, long term - once the mystique wears off, they are still a different taste...

here in SC my room is 68 in winter, 76 in summer.   Could stick them in the wineadors but they are slam full of cigars. Not to worry, hadn't gotten around to it yet.

I know that about breathing in the glass, and need to revisit the room temp part. German friend of mine told me about the room temp thirty years ago, but I didn't get into it.   Amazing how much better a beer is with a head. If served a giant cerveza on tap, I will pour half into another glass...

I will also note that my CC's do better at lower temp/humidity levels than my other cigars.   I've been at 65/65 for probably close to a year. Noticed that some of my non-cc's seemed to be smoking a bit dry so I went to 67/67. CC's didn't do well, some handled it better than others. Also, the...

I agree that mood and surroundings play a big part. Along with pairing, and possibly shifting what you drink as you smoke   Perfect thread for me to make the following comment  (which I had been thinking about, but didn't think it worthy of starting a thread)   Two different boxes that I really...

I always smoke outside, so it's well ventilated. Going to try to not retrohale as much.   I did take a three week break from smoking after the sinus when I got the sinus infection, might should have taken more. One thing that I can start doing is make sure I only smoke every other day, with a...

In another thread, I commented where I had a sinus infection for around three weeks. Then, cleared up.   Had been smoking about ten a week, and figured it was a good idea to cut back to about five a week.   Three weeks at that level, and starting to have sinus issues again.   I'm going to cut...
