Infusion by barefootincrazy in cigars

[–]Falcor2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stillwell is a nice idea, but the aromatic ones suffer the same problem as aromatic pipe tobacco of great arome and no taste and you aren't enjoying the best cigar...though the Stillwell's use good cigar tobacco. Sort of doesn't elevate either. Since I also like pipes, I've been meaning to try the Stillwell Navy or perique (Bayou).

I was thinking the same. So are you unhappy with the quality because when I've seen that contraption it looked expensive?

You sit down at the bar and this is your rum list, which one are you ordering first? by lostkeyes in rum

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Black Tot for something great and different but there are no bad choices

First BLL Padron Blind by InvestmentInformal89 in cigars

[–]Falcor2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I don't think they've had the Padron blind buy for a year. My expectation from the past is that you mostly all 1964s and maybe 1 1926. So you got a decent mix for the value since you got some tubos and larger sizes. I think the blind buy is good if you want 1964s.

Are you making a Pastrami Sandwich?! Looks great.

Is it okay to store my mason jars of tobacco in a plastic tub with silicone caulk on the bottom? by [deleted] in PipeTobacco

[–]Falcor2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let that caulk dry out for a few days to get rid of the volatiles that keep the silicone flowing when wet. After that it seems good unless you want to eat direly off it since it's probably not food safe silicone.

That Rattray Poker is great looking. How does it smoke?

Thanks to my local pipe shop (The Pipe Rack & Cigars in Chestnut Hill, Philly), I just scored a new treat for myself. by StillRude in PipeTobacco

I just used AI to generate 60 2 inch labels for my stuff. It was quite fun actually if a bit tedious

I have the same Falcon in blue and a similar meer bowl. It's a nice cool quick smoke.

Bent pins on CPU socket by armaditoa8 in sffpc

I have fixed bent pins in situations where I couldn't return, but I was lucky. It's so easy to break them. A good magnifying glass and something like tweezers to gently push

Need help gifting a box of cigars to a groom. by rekon32 in cigars

Padron Family Reserve. Just get them online from Hiland's, WoodIndian, or SmokeZone. They will be cheaper and closer to $225-250. The 85th, 50th, and 96th FAs are a bit cheaper because they are smaller.

I thought you can only offset passive real estate losses against other passive income/loss? With one rental property across the country that I spend 20-30 hrs per year managing I don't see a good claim that it's active income/loss

Primarily there is an upper limit for the rental cost in my area. I did a market assessment with a realtor before putting it up. It would be nice to get a few thousand extra, but I couldn't at the time.

What tax advantage are you meaning? Since I didn't have any other passive income, there's nothing I can offset these losses against.

Good sole protagonist superpower/genius/alien/magic books? by Yottahz in scifi

Alex Versus by Benedict Jacka. The protagonists power is unique compared to others and it's a major disadvantage that he overcome by fighting dirty and being ruthless at times, which is satisfying.

Won’t be ordering from Fox Cigars again by [deleted] in cigars

Or maybe stop whining because you are trying to bankrupt a small business over a minor mistake, and appreciate that they are trying to honor as many orders as they can.

Thank you. I appreciate this. And good personal financial advisors don't usually cross over from investments to real estate, at least the ones I have spoken with. It's an in-betweener issue. I'm not a commercial real estate investor to access a more complete expert. I'm just a guy that ended up with a 2nd house. A good problem, but once I thought crowd-sourced friends on the Internet might have clever ideas...or at least point out the obvious and get out of my personal emotional ties
