Remembering Cigar

Friday, September 26th, 2008

With Curlin on the brink of surpassing Cigar as racing’s all-time leading money winner, we remember here the career of one of the most memorable horses of our time. Whether he was the best of his era remains a matter of debate, but his emergence from obscurity, whirlwind career and 16-race winning streak remain among the great stories in racing. Cigar resides in retirement at the Kentucky Horse Park. The stories presented here, never before published, were written as part of a never-executed pro

Ways to Prevent and Eliminate Cigar Breath

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Ways to Prevent and Eliminate Cigar Breath Friday 26 September 2008 @ 3:10 pm Newton’s third law puts it this way: For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. But the old ’70s soul song says it all much more colorfully: You always have to pay for the fun you’ve had. No matter what your hobby or pet pastime, there’s always some undesirable aspect that has to be dealt with. If you’re an athlete, you may have to spend the occasional Monday morning icing a pulled muscle. Sports s

What Makes Resin Model Cars So Special?

What Makes Resin Model Cars So Special? What Makes Resin Model Cars So Special? The model car is ever in demand today as most people can’t afford to do much of anything else. Gas is too high to go anywhere, so more and more families are staying home and taking part in the hobbies they had neglected with time. The more rare the model kit, the more it cost […] The model car is ever in demand today as most people can’t afford to do much of anything else. Gas is too high to go anywhere, so mor

Humidors to the Rescue: A Necessity For Every Cigar Smoker

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Humidors to the Rescue: A Necessity For Every Cigar Smoker Friday 26 September 2008 @ 2:52 pm Perhaps the movies are to blame. All those scenes where the powerful businessman or politician says to the ingenuous hero, “May I offer you a cigar,” then-without missing a beat-brandishes a gold-embossed cigar case. A case with no humidity controls. A case that is not a humidor. Whatever the reason, many casual cigar smokers-and even fairly committed lovers of premium cigars-don’t realize how im

Alpine Skiing: A Sport for the Bold

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Downhill skiing requires a combination of athleticism, leisure, privilege, and the devil-may-care attitude that allows participants to enjoy the thrill of, essentially, falling down a steep snow-covered mountain, over and over again. It’s not a sport for the faint at heart. No wonder it’s a plot point in so many James Bond movies, where we see our secret-agent hero zigzagging down the world’s most dangerous slopes as evil spies take shots at him from above. Alpine skiing is pure adrenaline, in

Camping: A Necessity and a Luxury

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Camping-it’s a brute necessity, and one of the most refined and civilized of pleasures. Our remote ancestors would never have survived and evolved without the ability to build strong and protective shelters in the wild-the wiliness and courage to gather or track down their food-and, perhaps most of all, the resourcefulness to entertain themselves and each other in the infinitely long evenings before civilization. At the same time, we thoroughly civilized, contemporary urban dwellers have the op

Father’s Day Cigars: A Great Gift Idea

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Father’s Day Cigars: A Great Gift Idea Friday 26 September 2008 @ 2:07 pm We hand them out during bachelor parties. We give them to new fathers. We hand them out to potential business partners and employees (”Sit down. Have a cigar.”). It’s no wonder, then, that cigars are also a well-known father’s day gift. (For example, a Google search turns up 442,000 possibilities for “father’s day cigar.”) Cigars have that reputation-they’re the gift that you give someone to help him slow down, rela

Smoking ban based on unsubstantiated data

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

by Chris McCalla Any day now, the Michigan state legislature is expected to vote on a proposed statewide smoking ban that is based on erroneous information provided by the powerful and well-funded anti-smoking forces. Michigan’s state representatives and senators have been deadlocked on such a proposal for several months, with each preferring their own version of such a ban. The Senate wants a total ban, while the House is prepared to accept some key exemptions like cigar bars, smoke shops and

Licked Toys hopeful

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

I have been waiting to catch the girls trashing one of their toys for the longest time so I could submit it to Licked Toys.  They have been really good with their things for quite some time and aside from some minor damage that I was able to repair easily I have had nothing eventful to send in.  WELL….. this morning I was on the phone and I hear the unmistakable sound of seams ripping and OMG fluff everywhere!  Viola! I have photo fodder. See this sweet little innocent, playful face? She is
