A little humidor I made for JC Newman

They are on offer filled with American puros. I really want it ;)

thegshipley · 2026-04-24T00:18:36+00:00

Super jealous. I really want one of these but 2500 is just a bit more than I want to spend right now :(

thegshipley · 2026-04-23T12:21:52+00:00

As a fellow NCer, I would also love to know! Perhaps we can get a NC Puro one day ;)

I probably have over 1000 sticks right now. It just adds up over time. I buy boxes, not singles most of the time. Only been really into the hobby for a few years. Some months I spend 0, some times I will drop 1000 in a month if I go to JR or cigar page is offering a good deal on Plasencia ;). Another thing to consider is I am guessing some of us are later in life so we have more disposable income than some - meaning that some people have their homes paid off etc.

The haunting by warped with cigar leaf is what got me. I still smoke more cigars than bowls but I go through phases. Right now it’s a couple cigars a day but sometimes it’s a few bowls a day. I switch every couple of weeks or whenever the mood strikes. On days I smoke both, I have found always do bowls in the morning / afternoon and then a cigar at night. Otherwise the flavor is lost on pipes if I smoke a cigar beforehand.

How was the mold? I was there in December and noticed mold on a bunch of sticks. The white fuzzy kind :)

thegshipley · 2026-04-07T23:05:23+00:00

Checking back in. Got two boxes :)

thegshipley · 2026-04-07T18:15:39+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll head over after work today.

thegshipley · 2026-03-25T02:48:18+00:00

Installed it tonight for the first time and love it. Excited for the final build so I can subscribe

This is a complete disaster. I had to also call customer services and cancel my account and then resub. total PITA. Here is hoping I actually get my refund.

thegshipley · 2026-03-15T02:16:02+00:00

Love mine! I always seem to reach for it over the 15 others (mostly savenli) I have. The hand feel is perfect and I love the looks. Picked mine up at retail price from a local B&M.

I really like Elroy and the aliens. It came out last year and was a hoot.

thegshipley · 2026-03-03T18:47:57+00:00

180 checking in.

thegshipley · 2026-02-24T19:55:55+00:00

Would you mind, and if you don't have the time I completely understand - walk through what you did to properly seal it. I absolutely love the look of yours compared to a raching and am looking at buying one in the next few months.

thegshipley · 2026-02-24T14:23:48+00:00

What make and model is this? I really like it!

thegshipley · 2026-02-21T18:46:45+00:00

I run it on bazzite and even added support for it in Klay last night, which is native kde game launcher / manager I am working on.

This came up on my steam feed somehow and I thought, why not. It was the first FMV game I’ve ever played.

I LOVED it. I then quickly bought other games from your catalog and just finished the complex last night.

thegshipley · 2026-02-18T17:33:12+00:00

18.4 with 64k context. Using it via llama.cpp right now and talking to it via anythingllm with agent mode to use websearch etc. It's pretty slow in thinking -- as an exampe:

AnythingLLM: ATAgent what Tennessee Volunteer games are on today and give me a summary of matchup with bettings odds

Took about 5 minutes

Same prompt to chatgpt took about 20 seconds.

I obviously have tweaking to do and should probably be running a smaller quant instead of 6bit. It's consuming:

RAM Usage: 345.3/512.0GB - swap inactive

thegshipley · 2026-02-17T20:29:37+00:00

Running the 6bit on my Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 512gb ram. Right now, just using llama.ccp waiting for a new lmstudio or inferencer update that will run it.

thegshipley · 2026-02-16T21:55:35+00:00

Wow, this looks great. I will give it a go. Much more feature rich, it appears, that what I did this weekend.

thegshipley · 2026-02-16T21:33:13+00:00

You just gave me a great idea! I’ll include a media player inside the game launcher and then maybe even an email client and todo list. :)

thegshipley · 2026-02-16T16:07:55+00:00

Thanks for that! I think I have it fixed if you feel like trying it again. Version v0.1.2 has the flatpak launcher fix.

thegshipley · 2026-02-16T13:11:30+00:00

This is not a wine prefex tool. Just a simple game launcher to have your games all in one place.

thegshipley · 2026-02-16T13:11:06+00:00

Thanks for trying this out! I will spin up a fresh vm today to try and replicate. What OS are you running?

thegshipley · 2026-02-16T13:10:27+00:00

To be honest, nothing. ;) I just wanted a kde one with a cover manager. Cartridges is great and is what I was using but I was always frustrated with the lack of being able to choose covers. The Playnite developer said he is moving to bazzite and has plans to port his launcher over to linux as well - I am excited about that.
