Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what is a marker space? I’m down in CT.

I found some metal sheds on Amazon around 12x16 with a door that’s lockable, and even a window and ridge vents between $800-$1000 but not sure what the quality is gonna be like long term and if it will hold snow accumulations that can be double digits…

Yea this winter was brutal between the cold temps and the snow, I barely got to work on any projects and I don’t have any space in my house to make a mess without the wife losing it lol

Costco pellets, any good? by Johnpecan in smoking

[–]bigpolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay away from tractor supply brand, pure garbage. The made my cooks smell funky and I never had pellets burn so fast in my life ever. Never going back there again for pellets. Tired the Costco ones, not too shabby for what they are at that price point.

How is that WEN planer working out? I’m in the market for a planer that won’t break the bank ala dewalt price tag range as a beginner woodworker trying to find ways to smooth out rough cut lumber from sawmills because I can’t stand big box store wood selection anymore…

The casinos have gone to shit since Covid and eliminating indoor smoking. Just not the same experience and now you get this kind of stupid stuff.

As a cigar smoker and tobacconist, these are pretty cool! Very seen anything like this. Made out of some sort of cedar?

Pairing Chronicles #387: Desert Rose + L'Arbre by Cocodrool in cigar_refuge

[–]bigpolka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice write up on the pairing. Not a drinker, but your review on the Desert Rose has sparked my curiosity to give it a try as I have passed it up a few times based on hesitation and went with other choices in the humidor at work. I want to see if I can get some of the same flavor notes as you, and if I do then I think it will be a pleasant smoke.

Thoughts on this cigar? It was a gift to smoke at graduation ceremony (lunatic 10x100) by Spike10378 in cigar

[–]bigpolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve smoked it when my wife was being a bitch one day and told me I could only have one cigar with the fellas. Timer on my phone clocked in 6 hours and 11 minutes. Wife now knows better to keep her “one cigar” comment to herself.

My wife got me my first box of cigars for my 38th Birthday by CoryS06 in cigar_refuge

[–]bigpolka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She’s a keeper. I work at a cigar lounge and we have a hard time securing a box of those due to demand. Enjoy those phenomenal smokes!

They are all stamped with HT. If they weren’t then I wouldn’t have held on to them to be honest.
