    Smoke-easies

    I and my smoker buddies discuss things like this all the time over cigars and fine libations, perhaps over a well-cooked meal, too. Heck, we did it this evening on my back deck, three guys drove in from Atlanta, one from St. Mary's Georgia, one from Boston Mass. and my buddy who still lives here...

    Smoke-easies

    Has someone posted the recent one about the Scotsman kicked out of the public house in Dunfermline because of excessive flatulence? Seems no one noticed until the smoking ban. I'll review the thread and see if it's here, when I get time. May not be until Monday, though. My cigar friends are...

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    I can get my green beans for between $3.50 -$5.00 per pound. That's about the highest I'll go. Also, the more you buy, the less the price per pound, they lower the price per pound at 3, 5 and ten pounds. It lasts longer. I buy beans once every nine months or so, spending around $120 per order.

    Strange questions about your town

    Madill is rolling over in his grave, along with Potter Palmer. For whatever reason , Hollywood seems to think we talk lahk we'uh raid necks heeyah in Nyeeeeeeew ORLEENZ. When, because of immigration through the port of New Orleans over the years, we sound more like Hoboken or Brooklyn...

    Old Havana is falling into ruins

    There are no other rich nations, with firms able to take the U.S. place in the forefront? The U.S., has had nothing to do with Cuba officially for over 40 years, but somehow this is still the U. S.' problem. I really don't want to get into this, I'm patriotic and a bit jingoistic, but I have a...

    Smoke-easies

    Well, I'm allergic to the smell of feces and I hate it when I go to a dirty restroom when I'm away from home and have to smell others. It offends me and nauseates me. I am making a point. Now I have YOUR sacred cows ready for skewering and it's a problem. But skewer mine, and it's OK, since...

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    Outlaw Kyle, that place is a treasure, then. I forgot about my mokha pot--the stove-top espresso maker. It's definitely a close second to the press, tied with my ibrik for making Turkish style coffee.

    Smoke-easies

    And that's the way it should be done, Paisley and Marc. Allow the owner of the business to make a decision that's in his or her best interest. There are more non-smokers than smokers. Like-minded people will associate with each other, and the sheer numbers will ensure success. After all, despite...

    Where is there to eat and drink besides Bourbon Street?

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    Eight O'Clock coffee is acceptable alternative to Starbucks, the price is better, as well. That 34.5 bag is ten bucks, it's whole bean, so it'll be a tad fresher than pre-ground. The dark roast in the tan bag is my favorite, followed by the French roast. That French roast has a sharp taste I...

    Find me a panama

    You can get a 300 wpsi Montecristi from PanamaBob for right at $100. Can't beat that with a stick. The Cuencas are even less expensive.

    Ah the old "stinky clothes" defense. C'mon Marc, I thought you were more intelligent than THAT. Y'all check out The Metropolitan Society This is from my "home" Cigar Weekly As a cigar smoker, I don't understand the ban on pipes and cigars, as they usually do smell better than cigarettes...

    A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?

    That's a solid suggestion.

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    While I'm definitely not vintage like the rest of y'all, I am nostalgic and do have a sense of history and place. I draw the line, however, at a percolator's nostalgia making a better cup of coffee. I appreciate your dedication, though. I've been drinking semi-satisfactory store-bought...

    Let's talk straw....Balibuntal?

    I see there's a hat that LOOKS nice on the Bay, right now. It's a Hopkins of Baltimore, is that why you're asking?

    Excellent post, Aaron.

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    I grew up, in terms of coffee, on Luzianne, CDM, RT and Union in an aluminum drip pot. Now that I roast my own, nothing but a French Press does it for me. The FP done properly simply extracts more flavor from the coffee than any other method. There's a progression to coffee, usually, and my...

    World's Worst Aviation Accident - 30 yrs ago today

    Thirty years, wow. I remember that. It's 28 years since Pan Am 759 crashed here, due to wind shear.

    Jewellery, gents?

    Watch and gold wedding band. I'd wear cufflinks if I could find inexpensive French cuff shirts, and wore ties with them. But since I don't. just the aforementioned.

    A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?

    As I said many pages back: I don't have a heck of a lot of disposable income, and not a lot of friendly mojo at home when it comes to spending on hats. I would be enchanted if this were available at some point when I had found money. But, more importantly,I repeat myself......I would hope...
