Earlier this week I was browsing through my RSS Reader and saw that Google Wave came out of private beta. With it being open to the public came the option to embed a wave within a page for the world to see. That got me thinking about how we could utilize the service to benefit […]
Cain F Nub (First Impressions)
While working around the house I glanced up at the clock and had an “Oh Crap” moment. I was loosing daylight and hadn’t realized my painting project had taken much longer than anticipated and we were lacking a post for today. Growing weary, I cleaned out my paint roller and dashed off for a cigar […]
EP Carrillo Short Run 2010 (Short Ashes)
Ordinarily I don’t like to do a Short Ashes review so close to a full blown review but I was left with few options this week. Time got away from me and before I knew it, it was Thursday night and I had nothing fresh for my Friday review. Trying to build up a little […]

Jason and I talked about getting together for a cigar before things got hectic over the course of the weekend. On Friday, Mike and I met up with Jason, before getting started with the festivities, and headed […]
Cigarfest 2010 – Show Floor Footage
During Cigarfest 2010, one of my duties was to wander the show floor shooting random footage. I wanted to give people a feel for what it was like to attend the event, even if you could only do so via your home computer. I didn’t record anything particular, with the exception of the cigar rolling […]
Cain Event at Kensington Tobacconist
A couple of weeks ago I was over at Kensington Tobacconist talking to the owner, Kurt. He was telling me that he lined up an event with Sam Leccia, of Cain and Nub Cigars, for the day before the Cigarfest activities kicked off. With Sam being in town, he made plans to hang out at […]
