Social Butterflies
A few years ago, the web phenom, My Space began and it was all the rage. Like many, I started my own page, but soon found out that this fashionable forum was mainly for teenagers and horny pervs. It gave people a chance to basically have their own intenet portal, and communicate with friends, discreetly, [...]

Xikar HC Series Habano Colorado
Not too long ago, Andy and Jerry from Xikar contacted me about the new HC Series cigars. They simply wanted my opinion on Xikar’s new cigar blends. Next thing I knew, two sampler packs arrived and it was time for me start reviewing. To the people at Xikar – Thanks for letting me try these [...]
Rooting for the Cigar Guy
I was at my desk this afternoon when a buddy called. He was watching the British Open. "Jimenez just shot a 64," he said. "He's in the lead. And he's smoking a robusto with a red band on it." Miguel Angel Jimenez, Spanish golfer, loves cigars, especially Cubans.

Since the economy blows, instead of spending a fortune on airfare and some tropical far away money pit, we decided to see the nation’s capital a few weeks ago, and right now as we speak, I’m scribing this wonderful bloggy from a Hampton Inn, on the outskirts of chocolately Hershey, [...]
