What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024
I decided to smoke a cigar today. One of my top ten favorites, an 8-year-old Paul Garmirian Artisian's Passion Robusto.

Only Three Pipes
I appreciate the heads-up guys on the Brylon Pipes. I am truly amazed that I never, that I can recall, picked up on them over my lifetime. Seems to me that they would be brittle!- johnnyflake

What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?
