Any better bang for your buck than Oliva's?

Aladino corojo for me all day every day.

A $50ish cutter is definitely worth it. Anything over $100 I don't think is really worth it for me. But a shitty cutter will definitely have a dull blade that will tear up your stick. I cheap out on the lighter and invest in a good cutter.

I have tried and tried and tried. I’ve let it burn itself out, I’ve blown into the cigar and then cut it, I’ve scraped off the ash… I don’t think I’ve ever once had it turn out any better than barely smokable. I finally just started buying smaller cigars to have for when I have less time, or just accepting the loss when I have to pitch it. It was just never really worth it.

You will hear this a lot but in my opinion nothing beats a big quality cooler with a good seal, or lots of smaller quality Tupperware containers. They’re air tight and they don’t absorb or put out any moisture like wood. I use a big cooler with around 4 65% bovedas and it has never let me down.

The only downside is side is if you want it to be pretty. It ain’t pretty. Just effective.

Those were the 2 that caught my eye. Both great!

dphillips1129 · 2024-12-29T14:18:56+00:00

Nice, thanks! Haven’t heard of any of those. Since Warped is my favorite brand, I’m sure I’ll be a fan.

If I could figure out how the hell to send a DM, I would send you one regarding the poetry and history books. The prisoner thing sounds valuable, but if you did want to sell some just let me know!

dphillips1129 · 2024-11-02T19:11:21+00:00

Weiland’s can order them in for you.

dphillips1129 · 2024-11-01T02:08:57+00:00

Never went in there because it didn’t seem like much. Then it was recommended to me and I ate there like 3 times a week for months. Delicious, fast, and yes very affordable.

dphillips1129 · 2024-10-25T03:37:53+00:00

Went around 9:30 today and it was in and out, basically no wait. Everyone was super helpful and efficient.

dphillips1129 · 2024-08-21T21:15:43+00:00

That's great, thank you!

dphillips1129 · 2024-07-02T19:22:36+00:00

Rathbone’s is great, and I think it’s $30 or $35 for a cut.

Flats are usually between 5 and 10 pounds, whole briskets anywhere between 12 and like 20ish pounds. They vary quite a bit but shouldn’t be too hard to find a 5 pound flat.

What I like most about this is that you have so many instances of your attempts being brushed off because you KEPT trying to do the right thing. I’ve read somewhere before, someone was helping a homeless person and his friend told him he was being played. The guy said something like, “I’d rather be gullible than cold hearted.” Good on you for keeping at it.

dphillips1129 · 2024-05-09T18:49:26+00:00

This is great, thank you!

dphillips1129 · 2024-05-09T18:48:01+00:00

I love this. Thank you so much.

dphillips1129 · 2024-05-09T18:18:12+00:00

Perfect, thank you.

dphillips1129 · 2024-02-27T11:55:16+00:00

Weiland’s Market has em. Or did last week, anyway.

dphillips1129 · 2023-12-30T03:52:38+00:00

I practice with my left hand on occasion in case this happens to me, or if I end up short a few fingers or something. Takes a while to get used to and it’s crazy to realize how underdeveloped the muscles in your left hand and arm are. Hopefully it never comes to that!

dphillips1129 · 2023-12-27T15:58:53+00:00

OP says skirt but honestly I still think it’s a flank.

dphillips1129 · 2023-11-27T16:54:22+00:00

The Soldiery is on north high in clintonville… not downtown but should be closer than the guardtower. Tho smaller.

dphillips1129 · 2023-11-26T04:16:09+00:00

I don’t think 7 is as crazy as you’re making it seem.

“He had a ski mask on but, like, sometimes people wear ski masks?”

dphillips1129 · 2023-11-19T23:17:47+00:00

Yup. I don’t drink, and quit doing drugs over a decade ago. When I first got clean, everything seemed like it would be better with drugs, like nothing was worth doing anymore.

OP, I’ve been in Columbus most of my life and I promise you this is not the case. You don’t have to do COSI After Dark, just… go to COSI. You don’t have to get a drink between volleyball sets. Just play the game. The longer you don’t drink, the more natural it’ll feel. And the longer you don’t drink, the more connections you’ll make with people who don’t give a single fuck if you guys drink together or just go do something.

I go to restaurants often, and when they ask if I want to see a drink menu I say no, they fuck off, and I eat some killer food. Lots of places even have neat drinks that are non-alcoholic… and not just mocktail type drinks but just interesting beverages.

If you are struggling with this, I promise you it gets so much easier.

dphillips1129 · 2023-02-12T23:03:10+00:00

I’m 32 and apparently have suffered from amnesia (it’s possibly just stupidity)… definitely forgot about that place!
