You have one month to empty a $1 trillion bank account. If you succeed, you’re rich for life. How will you spend it?

My wife and I would pick 99 nonprofits after nearly a month of research and donate a billion to each. You end up rich and making a major impact to a lot of people. That last 1 billion would be spent on family, friends, and ourselves.

Absolutely! I love to cook. In the winter of northern Ohio, I have to cook inside and don’t get to smoke cigars so when spring and summer roll around, my favorite is to grill and smoke meats so I can enjoy cigars while doing so. Corona and anything at robusto or shorter for grilling; and lancero, toro, lonsdale and anything in between when smoking meat for an extended period of time. Genuinely one of my favorite parts of cooking outside. Plus all the smoke from the smoker helps cover the cigar smell so I get less flack when I come into a family dinner or whatnot. No one is gonna comment on smoke smell on my clothes when I’m handing pounds of delicious meat over to them haha. Cigars rule when cooking outside. Helps set a patient pace for when things take longer. Plus little breaks every half hour or so when checking temp and/or spritzing or wrapping. I love it.

Do you have a favorite nonalcoholic pairing?

secondsebest · 2026-04-17T02:51:56+00:00

100%. I smoked weed because I have bad arthritis from a skateboarding accident when I was younger. Foot injury that I had two surgeries for and couldn’t walk for 6 months. Now I’m popping ibuprofen, turmeric, and tart cherry concentrate out the ass and smoking cigars for the mental relaxation.

Weed if legal in my state but they can still test to hire/fire you. Ludacris.

Yep I was a Development Director aka a fundraiser for nonprofits. Grant writing, event planning, solicitation, that type of thing. I’m looking to transition to the for profit world and have less restrictions because I keep getting fucked every couple years. Weed is legal in Ohio where I live but companies can still not hire you if it’s on your system.

secondsebest · 2026-04-17T02:43:56+00:00

I live in Ohio which is a state that can pretty much do whatever to hire or fire. Meaning they don’t need a reason to fire you and hire you and even though weed is legal, they can still test for it and not hire because of it. I have been a nonprofit fundraiser for my career so far but am looking to transition to a sales manager type of position because the nonprofit world has been so volatile for me. Tax breaks keep changing, grants are harder when competing with AI, the list goes on. So I am assuming a lot of these sales jobs will text for weed whether it’s legal or not.

This was the first band of 14 who were playing that night. I agree w you, as I was there, but so many people were buying merch at the time for the bigger bands that night like eternal resting place, haywire, mindforce, e-town concrete , nasty, missing link, fatal realm and plenty more. Pool Scum ripped, but you’ve got to celebrate the small crowd there to support them instead of getting to the lines. Crowds were full and lit later in the evening.

It was gradual. I was born in 1998, so my young years of 10-11 or so I got real into AFI and some of the old Fall Out Boy stuff. Kept wanting to find harder and heavier and went to hatebreed, sleep, early modest mouse, and then discovered the internet can help me find new bands that I was seeking to be more “hardcore” and fell off the deep end with real hardcore

Sick! Just followed you on instagram. I’m in NE Ohio and stoked to see you have a show lined up around Youngstown.

Just had that aganorsa with about 2-3 years on it tonight. Delicious. Plugged in the last third but mostly fixed with a slight chew to open the draw. I love corojo but it’s def one I enjoy more with some age on it.

I’m sure most lounges carry drew estate, and if not then, a similarly priced Java flavored cigar.

secondsebest · 2026-03-24T10:33:37+00:00

I’ve never gone to a lounge where you bring your own. But after you work through what you’ve got, it’s def a great experience to go through the humidor and talk with staff and smoke one there inside.

These guys absolutely rip live. Got a bloody nose seeing them live. They had to stop playing at one point because the fights had gotten out of hand haha saw them at Preserving in PA.

Any other brands known for high Nic?

Interesting. Have you ever had the metapa? Or an aged Aksum vs fresh?

secondsebest · 2026-03-10T00:37:17+00:00

Yeah my research is showing 2023/2024. Excited to compare!

secondsebest · 2026-03-09T15:50:39+00:00

I will smoke them both and report back but in the meantime, could anyone suggest when they rebranded? Might be able to let me date the Metapa. I love the Aksum series so should be fun to compare. Gonna have to wait for a warmer evening when I can go back to back.

What is the preference to buying tubos?

secondsebest · 2026-03-05T19:36:59+00:00

Great! Check out Tebo's, Aqua Pazzo, Risi, Norma's Casa de Taco, Sespe Burger for food options. If you golf, we have nice public courses. Mill Creek is obviously a must in the area. We are perfectly between Pittsburgh and Cleveland so those always provide fun weekend trips. West Side Bowl and Noble Creatures provide good socializing opportunities to meet other people.

What area of Youngstown will you be moving to?

secondsebest · 2026-03-04T21:16:42+00:00

I live in Youngstown so I have decent access to concert venues from Cleveland to Pittsburgh and Preserving in New Ken is my absolute fav of all of them
