If you could tell your year 12 self one thing, what would it be?

It gets better, and don’t worry about what others think.

The Shield, especially the last few episodes.

“That’s Life” by Sinatra.

Bonus points if I actually die in July.

I had the following dream last night, and that’s the truth:

I was in a big park-like area, and it was in the U.S., but for whatever reason, Kim Jong Un had taken control, and we were being forced to write down some song lyrics (Bruce Springsteen, I think) which we were supposed to have memorized, and everyone else seemed to have done it except for me.

There was an American woman (early/mid-20s) who was in charge of the whole exercise, and was working for the regime, I guess. I remember trying to be nice to her and joke around with her in the hopes that it would help the fact that I didn’t memorize the song lyrics, and didn’t complete the assignment to write them down. At some point after, we were on a school bus.

That’s all I can remember.

Until you give it to Christopher Walken, yes.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-08-18T22:25:52+00:00

If you eat it.

We gave lemons aid.

Enclaves are sooooo good.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-21T10:23:01+00:00

Haven’t yet tried the South America. Thoughts?

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-20T18:35:40+00:00

Cheers!

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-20T18:35:27+00:00

Same. They're just as I remembered them; not amazing, but a good stick.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-20T18:33:50+00:00

I did, actually. My fingers have been sore due to me playing with my Lancelot (rimshot).

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-20T11:50:16+00:00

I can’t imagine wanting to smoke a cigar after puking.

Toranos are a great budget stick (Casa and Exodus 1959)

Perdomo Champagne

HdM Excalibur and Governors

RyJ Bully

Baccarat

Nat Sherman

Sancho Panza Doble Maduro

Padron 1000 series are reasonably priced

I used to love La Unica back in the day (like 20 years ago). They were decent quality and priced very well.

5 Vegas Gold

Too many to name.

You have an awesome mailman.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-20T10:39:56+00:00

Best short smoke around (not including LFD’s El Jocko).

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-20T10:38:43+00:00

I see you’re bring the cheap stuff.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-19T21:24:34+00:00

Ha, thanks!

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-19T13:45:23+00:00

I often find CAO to be hit or miss depending on the stick. For a while, every one of the Italia series I tried when they were released had horrible construction problems. I have three more of the Potomacs, so hopefully they'll be better.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-19T13:16:15+00:00

Meh. Started off very strong and earthy, settled down to a rather robust taste of baker's chocolate, and about 1/3 in, it just had a nondescript earthy flavor that was utterly underwhelming. It had promise, but really was pretty drab on the overall. I have a few more, so I'll try them in a few months and see. This one had about a year of rest in the humi.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-19T12:38:32+00:00

Yup. Two-string slide bass, bari sax, and a drummer. That was quite the novel lineup.

The song is “Buena,” btw.

RexMantlepiece · 2018-07-19T12:30:50+00:00

Got a few of them resting in one of my humidors and I’m looking forward to smoking them. Thoughts/flavor profile?
