What do you bring to the table?

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

From MCPO’s post last night we decided that we are all moving away to form a cult since the economy is going to Hell in a hand basket. I am assuming that with this talented group we may never have to leave. I bring the ability to quote lots of nonsensical poems like the Jabberwocky, for hours of endless, mind numbing entertainment. I can also say the Alphabet backwards, and tie a cherry stem with my tongue. I would like to know what the rest of you fagz plan on providing us with. What is YOUR sp

Many people who have learnt how to make a cigar box guitar have done so simply to give their children something to amuse themselves with but the truth is they can make serious music.

Stogie Reviews: Bolivar Royal Corona (Cuban)

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Call it quality or call it hype, but I’m never surprised when I see Cubans rated highly in mainstream cigar publications. I think the greater stogie community, however, was caught off guard when a Bolivar—not considered one of Habanos SA’s flagship brands—was named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2006. The four and 7/8 inch by 50 ring gauge Royal Corona earned that title, along with a rating of 94, for its “sophisticated flavor bomb of smoke with an array of rich character, including

Texas Clubs Dominate “Best Players” Rankings

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

The Golf Digest Index is an annual edition devoted to the finer things. You know: Lots of articles about cigars, cognacs and BMWs. This year’s issue included a ranking of “The 50 Clubs with the Best Players.” The ranking is the publication’s attempt to determine the country clubs across America with the highest-quality golfing membership. Or rather, the highest-quality of high-quality golfers. To be considered for the list, private clubs submitted the handicap indices of their 10 best amate

After a breather of a few days, we’re back with our never ending series on the Mitchell Report. Missed our series so far? Catch up with Parts I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII. Get yourself a tall latte first. As an aside, let’s give a tip of the hat to dearly departed Paul Newman by remembering his role in one of the greatest sports movies ever made, Slap Shot. (Okay, so this clip is more about the Hanson Brothers, but damn, it’s classic.) Finally, we must apologize for the fact that the site wa

How to Plan a Smokin’ Vacation Saturday 27 September 2008 @ 9:02 am The 1990s were the best of times-and the worst of times-for the premium cigar industry. On the one hand, the previously near-moribund pastime suddenly experienced huge growth in profits, garnered new publicity, and racked up all sorts of hipness points as a stressed-out workforce turned to cigars for that little touch of luxury that makes a day complete.

On the one hand, the previously near-moribund pastime suddenly experienced huge growth in profits, garnered new publicity, and racked up all sorts of hipness points as a stressed-out workforce turned to cigars for that little touch of luxury that makes a day complete. On the other hand, a wave of smoking bans across the country made it a somewhat dicey time to pick up the habit. As more and more cigar smoke

Business 2.0: A Year Later, Where Are They Now?

Friday, September 26th, 2008

It officially marks a year since our valiant efforts to save Business 2.0, a magazine that many people dearly loved and turned to for its informative look at all aspects of the new economy. Taking a moment to honor all of the editors and writers that made Business 2.0 what it was, we did some research to find out where they ended up after the magazine was closed. Here’s what we’ve found (and in no particular order): Josh Quittner is now Executive Editor at Fortune Magazine Michael V. Copel
