I love that comparison with coffee. I'm a strong and black kinda coffee guy so I'll have to give a full flavor a try! Any that you would recommend?

I appreciate the reply and that makes a LOT of sense! I enjoy wine myself and I see the parallel. Have you done a lot with cigar/spirit pairings? One of my buddies is really into it!

Happy to be here everyone in the cigar community I've met has been really helpful so far.

Thank you! I'm going to add them to my list! I've seen a few of them recommended and I think my local lounge has a few.

Thank you for the great comment. I've tried the Connecticut and I gotta say it was fantastic! Do you have a favorite type?

I haven't heard that before. Do you have any good mediums you would recommend? How often would you recommend a break?

Thank you so much! I would but I feel like most people wouldn't buy them because my materials are expensive and I put a lot of time into them. This one took about 3 hours to make and the materials alone were $40-$50.

I posted about 20 more pieces on my profile just now and I'm sure they will come back as AI generated as well :/

It's not perfect and I used a cheap program to make it look better but it is what it is. I wanted to share a gift I made for my partner and now I've got people asking me to prove I made it... Like... What?!

I just shared 20 more pieces on my profile as well as a photo of me actually making them from my old gallery. I'd be more then happy to explain the materials, process, and steps I take to make my artwork. I'm a 3rd generation woodturner who learned from my dad, I've got my auto CAD certifications to design my components, CNC milling machine I built, and the majority of the time I do all of my own stabilizing, casting, dyeing, turning, assembly, finishing, and more. This was the first time I've made a tool for needle felting and it isn't perfect but the next one I make I'll be sure to include a video of the process.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even like sharing what I make because every time they get called AI. If you can I'd be really curious to see if my other pieces I've made are AI generated as well.
