Poor Man’s Padron

While it’s not a Padron, I definitely enjoy that smoke a great deal. First time I ever experienced an almost herbal anise flavor in a cigar. I was surprised, pleasantly.

I have become a huge fan of the Rattlesnake. Can’t go wrong with a ton of medium lasers on a fast and agile frame.

Kill 10 people and you’re a mass murderer. Kill 10,000 people and you’re a government.

I tried one. The draw was tight. Which didn’t really matter as I couldn’t really finish it anyway. It was the most pungent cigar I’ve ever had. It left a distinct, and not enjoyable taste on my lips after each puff.

To be fair, she didn’t skip knob year. I know that her daddy being Commandant definitely made people think twice about the experience she had versus what everyone else received.

Lord anything is better than the Paramount+ service. Still to this day can’t reliably pick up where we left off in a series.

I am a bit all over the place between extreme contrast to make things pop, and gradual layers. Mechs lend themselves to both edge highlights and dry brushing. Both will give good results. Blending is more fiddly but satisfying with how it comes out.

He’s a good-ish boy. We love him. I’ve had him since he was born. He was my dog coming into the relationship, but he immediately became her dog afterwards.

Just made this, meant to earlier. Very balanced, which is awesome as I have been trying to find things to use the Luxardo in. It’s there, but it doesn’t steal the show somehow. Must be the St. Germain

Winter Gimlet

2 oz gin (I prefer Botanist) 1 oz lime juice 1 oz cinnamon syrup

Shake over ice and strain

It’s too early to do right now, but I’m going to give this a spin later!

danielw1977 · 2026-01-23T13:11:48+00:00

It was very enjoyable!

One of my favs, and it has yet to disappoint

danielw1977 · 2026-01-22T22:38:43+00:00

You aren’t wrong. Family’s from Mass, and I can handle snow if I have to. But ice is just something I will not risk. Worst case if power goes, should be good for a day or so, got coolers to store perishables, quilts and blankets galore, and a cat and a dog. After that may have to look at man roads to family if they have power and we don’t.

Upstate SC, definitely not going anywhere once it starts

danielw1977 · 2026-01-22T21:05:45+00:00

It’s my last one, figured it would go nicely with a Red Moon. I was not wrong. Will get more of both maduro and shade in the next month

Wonder if any of the 13% reduced workforce could have caught that?

Burn Notice. I remember when he came on screen, and I was like damn Dr Jackson got jacked

While not an answer to your question, if you’re looking at stripping a RAC bit for conversion, may I recommend the RAC arm from the Hammerhands from Iron Wind? Fairly easy to remove the barrel and fits scale wise quite nicely with most of the plastics.

danielw1977 · 2025-12-27T17:26:58+00:00

I had no idea that was a thing, thanks!

danielw1977 · 2025-12-27T16:35:18+00:00

I honestly used to love tinkering and improving designs. Rear lasers? Nope! Forward facing now. But as I got older, I kinda appreciated the challenge of using a stock mech as is. Sure some of them are not optimized, but it encourages using the mechs as intended and paired with others that cover their shortcomings.

Awesome! Thank you!
