I love the swipe typing (which I can't get on the Iphone) and the WiFi calling...my cell service sucks at my house. I literally have to stand in one area of my house to get one bar and that is not always a guarantee.

With the Wifi calling lack of incoming/outgoing anything is rectified.

Nice. I'm due for an upgrade soon as was looking at a Motorola Droid 4, with the hard keys. I've been using Blackberries for 8 years and can't used to the virtual keys.

I had a Nat Sherman that I got a Big Smoke. Coffee, cocoa and a little spice. Not bad!

Front nine...40...bogey on the 9th kind of a downer...Back nine...42...2 bad drives phucked me up...but shot my handicap. 2013 golf resolution...single digits...

^^^ Nice cigars as usual JR! Those wonderful Padrons and that Lost City.. how did that bad boy smoke?? I had a Cafè con Leche the other morning with an Espresso.. What a great way to wake up... I see why you do that often.. so perfect together in the morning..

I love swype.. I can bang emails and txt's out really quickly.. even simple words without looking.. it's crazy.... I was hanging with my bro tonight for his two girls B-day party.. (both girls born on same day, 7 years apart, different wives.. ) and I really like that note.. as I get older (45), my eyes don't mind the bigger screen and I like the real estate.. I have to ask if you've had occasion to use the stylus? He says he takes notes with it if he's driving as he can do it without looking at the phone.. I don't know how he does that but it's a cool phone.. One of my lines is overdue for a upgrade.. might pull the trigger... Have a good Sunday guys!

Bill...I love the stylus. I hate a dirty screen with fingerprints...it just annoys me...so the stylus pretty much solves that problem. Swipe texting with a stylus is sooooo much faster and accurate for me.

Again, aging an Opus X, in this case the Lost City, did wonders for the smoking experience. I'd say its been about a year and half since I bought the box and since the last time I smoked one...totally different experience. The harshness is gone and now I could really experience the cigar's flavor. It is a rich cigar with a medium to medium full body...a bit of a softer edge than the usual Opus X...which is a good thing if you want a smoke that eases you into the day rather than kicking your ***

Peace and love on a Sunday!

PS Yea I'm up...damn noises in the kitchen and my wife woke me up to check...did a sweep with the Springfield .45...and I told my ice maker to freeze and shut the ***** up. Now I'm all kinds of awake...

Been away for a little while and last week was very busy and not too much time to post and keep up. I ended up going to NYC for a long weekend to see some friends/family. The usual friends and family. Seeeing the area, shows, shopping on 5th, dinner. Ended up getting lots of cigar time in due to it being very nice(50's/60's) with some friends and family. Cigar list was the Padron 5000, OpusX, Diesel, Liga Privada #9's and of course San Lotano Maduro.

With tax season coming up, is it safe to predict that I will be blowing any returns I may get on boxes of San Lotanos, La Flor double-ligeros and Ligas???

JR, how does that Lost City smoke? What about the Padilla 1932's?

Lost City was fantastic...aged about year and half...The Padilla 1932 is one of my favorite cigars...too bad it isn't made anymore or at least in this formulation.

Saturday golf at my old alma mater...Univ. of South Florida...The Claw...actually in decent shape. Front nine I could not make any putt within 5 feet...yips on 5 holes... 43. Back nine I scrambled my *** for a 39...

My drive to the course Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche...top down, cigar lit, and coffee on hand...nothing like a cool morning in Florida.


Golf round cigars...2006 Ashton VSG Illusion/2006 Diamond Crown Maximus Churchill/2006 Fuente Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau...7 years of aging does a body good!

Love it Jon! So happy to see your enjoying the weather! It's about 15' up here. No convertable weather for us
How are you enjoying the 911? Is it all done with mods?

Smoking while cruising is SUCH a pleasure.

I enjoy it so much, I've been tempted several times to sell my SRT-6 and replace it with a 6-speed Limited Crossfire Roadster (none of the Mercedes convertibles I like are within my price point). And that's when I remember how much fun it is to drive a car that hits 100 in ~8 seconds, LOL. I had the 6-speed Crossfire coupe before my SRT-6 and I loved it, but it was a dog (5.9 0-60).

Smoking in my coupe isn't an option, because when I lower my windows, there's an extremely severe "buffeting" sound that takes place. Yields a headache in no time.

Bill...that ride is riconkulous!!!

Tonight...while I was working on my "patio dog house"...I collect comic books and I got tired of renting out a storage unit. I had this built in my patio...room for my books, extra golf clothes, and I'm going to build a cigar wall cabinet beneath the clothes hanging unit...still at the finishing stages...mainly the outdoor kitchen and fire pit. At least I got half the comic books in...

Padron Family Reserve 46yr and some kick *** Colombian brew...

Bill...headed to Torrey Pines in the Fall. I'll be calling you for some golf and stogies.

Golf today...just 2...my regular Cafe Con Leche and a Padron 1964 Toro...40 front and 39 back...can't complain about the round.



Well after golf, we had my wife's baby shower today...my only request was that none of the guys would be part of those inane baby shower games...SO we were relegated to my brother-in-laws garage with cigars, scotch, and poker...we were good with that.

We had some choice smokes...not to mention scotch.

Aging Room Quattro F55 Concerto Churchill...a new box I bought this week...HIGHLY recommend after smoking this tonight.


2006 Ashton VSG Illusion...what can I say...a VSG is great but one 7 years aged is perfection.


Montecristo (non-Cuban) Epic...a stogie that my other cigar buddy gave me tonight...box worthy.


Opus X Perfecxion 77 Shark...a milder version of the Anejo shark...great in its right...


And scotch selection...we (6 guys) had a glass of each and some of us 2 or 3 rounds...I'm buzzed as I type this...

That thing is a beast! And those Disel Cigars are as well. I had one of those not too long ago(See earlier post) and they are very strong. How fast do those sand buggys go anyways?
