HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!

I LOVE Football. Being born and raised in Central Wisconsin that IS the sport of all sports... Well, next to Deer Hunting, Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling... Anyway, I am both excited and sad at the same time. Excited not because, I am a Giants or even a Patriots Fan but, in my family the Super Bowl has always been treated as a Holiday. I can remember my Dad thinking of what type of snacks, dinner and beverages we will have to enjoy before and during the big game. Plus, today's game, in my humble opinion is very historical. The Pats are undefeated...

Could This Be The Next Banned Item?!

I don't know about you but, I find this to ridiculous. I found the following article in my email from my Google Alerts this morning. If you don't have Google Alerts or don't know what it is, I highly recommend you check it out and set some up on your favorite topics or interests. It is a great tool to have.  I know this is a possibility in the EU but, who is to say it isn't going to catch on here in the Good Ol' US of A. These Al Gore Global Warming Alarmist and Anti-Smoking Freaks are really starting to get on...

Typical Male Driver

My Brother sent me this video of a cigar ad and I thought to myself how many of us guys are too busy watching some Hot Lady walking by as opposed to actually driving. Come on, admit it! And in the meantime check out the video.  

Why Do I Drink Beer?

Yeah, Yeah... I know this has nothing to do with tobacco but, it does have alot to do with one of my favorite beverages, Beer. I enjoyed beer more during the Football Season. There is something about football and beer that seems to go together in my humble opinion. I found this rather interesting article that us beer drinks can show to our wives, girlfriends or significant others to not only justify our desire for an ice cold brew but, to show them how health conscious we truly are. Check out the following article I found at BeverageDaily.com... Moderate beer intake may...

Winston Churchill Cigar?! About Time!

   There is no such thing as a good tax. I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly. A couple of my favorite Churchill quotes in honor of the new Churchill cigar that Davidoff is releasing, I can't wait to smoke one or a few. The first quote I have listed about is one I really like because our lame Congress want to burden us with more tobacco taxes and their lame excuse is for the children and to help us smokers to cut back on our so called...

Send Cigars To Our Troops

I just got done putting up all of our Christmas decorations here at home and now, I am just relaxing watching a football game, anxiously waiting for the next Packer game. Yes, Dalls beat the Packers; however, I thought it was a pretty good game. Anyway, while watching the Raider game I decided to check my email and found this really interesting article. Anything that has to do with our Troops I immediately read and I am happy to find out about the CigarsStarsAndStripes.com website. I think this is really cool. Check it out.

In Honor of Our Veterans!

In honor of the Men and Women who served and currently serving our Great Nation I want to say, "Thank you!" If it wasn't for your sacrifices I wouldn't be enjoying the freedom I have today. You are our real American Heroes not the Hollywood Idiots and some of the politicians who seem to be putting their own agendas first as opposed to putting our Nation first. God Bless You and the USA.

Star Wars Anti-Smoking PSA

This is GREAT! I just had to add this to my blog. This is on Yahoo Entertainment The World of Star Wars Beta site. What is so great about it is I remember seeing this commercial when I was a kid; however, I didn't actual remember it until after I viewed on Yahoo's The World of Star Wars site. I know what the heck is a serious cigar/pipe smoker doing posting an old anti-smoking ad on his blog? Well, I have to admit I am a Star Wars fan. I am talking about the first three Star Wars movies Lucas...

California Fires of 2007

Hello Everyone! I wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone in Southern California know that my prayers go out to all of you, especially those who have survived and perished in this years wild fire. I don't live to far from some of the fires that occurred but, far enough away to not have to evacuate and only ended up breathing in the smoky air outside. I swear when I stepped outside of my office this past Wednesday afternoon I felt like I stepped out onto the set of the old television movie The Day After (1983). All I could...

100 Year old Smoking Lady?!

I found this story absolutley amazing. Even though she has an iron lung, she lives be 100 is a miracle in my humble opinion and to top it off she outlives her son who passed away at 72.  Living through two World Wars in London would have made me to smoke a few cigarettes a day. Well, I should say cigars. I don't care for cigarettes but, to each their own I always say. 100-year-old celebrates her birthday by smoking 170,000th cigarette Last updated at 16:42pm on 27th August 2007 An iron-lunged pensioner has celebrated her 100th birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigerette...

You Think Smoking Is Bad For You?!

  I remember this old 80's Song, I believe it was Adam Ant, "Don't Drink, Don't Smoke..." maybe he should have added "Don't Print." I found the following article both interesting and disturbing all at the same time. My doctor tells me smoking and drinking is bad for me as well as McDonald’s French fries and now my printer is killing me too. SCREW IT! I am going to pour myself a drink and light up this Padron 1926 Anniversary. Anyway, I digress...   Your Printer May Be Hazardous To Your Health Christopher Null Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:35PM EDT I've long heard rumors that the...

Happy 4th of July!!!

I want to wish you all a Happy 4th of July and, remember that this day is more than just a day off from work. if it wasn't for the brave Men and Women who served and are serving in our Nation's Military we won't have a day off from work. Well, maybe we would but, I don't think we would have the freedoms that we are enjoying today. Feel free to write me what you did to celebrate our Nation's Birthday and which cigar did you light up? I am off to enjoy a BBQ with family, friends and a few dips...

A Moment Of Silence.

Yesterday afternoon, I lit up a stogie poured myself a Glenfiddich Whiskey, and then logged onto my laptop to stream in the Cigar Dave Show. I try to listen to the Cigar Dave Show as often as I possibly can and the first thing he mentioned was the passing of Stanford Newman. With a heavy heart, I would like for all of us to take a moment to celebrate the life of this Industry Legend by lighting up your favorite cigar and pray for him and his family. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Newman; however, I do know...
