    The beer fast goes clear back to 1600s (maybe longer), it's not all that bad. A brewery worker in Cincinnati just did this fast during this past Lenten season too. 

    Only did the Diet Coke after I broke the fast, which I stated in that post. 

    His name is Del and works for 50 West. I know him. I talked to him a few times during his fast. He said he put on weight over the winter knowing he was going to do the 48 day fast. He did make international attention doing the Monk fast. I just saw him a couple weeks ago a a Jungle Jim's Beer event.

  • I was the big winner last night as I won the only box of cigars in the raffle. PDR A. Flores AFR-75 San Andres Maduro. Gave about 10-12 of them away to some friends.

  • Just to expand on the old beer, I drank a few beers Curly J gave to me on my 30th birthday (6.5 years ago now) within the last 6 months, and some were 5+ years old when he gave them to me, I believe.

    And yes, they were delicious.

  • Hanging out at one of my Cigar Buddies house for a cook out. I brought some cigars with me. He went to his humidor to get a stick. We both ended up smoking the same cigar with out saying what we were going to smoke. Juarez from Crowned Heads. This is not the first time we've done this. We must be true Bothers Of The Leaf or Soulmates.

    It's a good smoke though. Goes great with the Oak & Eden Bourbon.

  • Just had a Montecristo Platinum Series. Not too bad. Little airy draw, so it burned pretty quick. Not one I'd buy again, but I'm not really in Montecristos. That's was in the bag at the Jungle's smoke event.

    Next up is an Oliva V Melanio. Had this one before and it's a great smoke.

  • I use both. Just depends. You can get more tar buildup with the punch from my experience, but I don't mind that. Added flavor ??? Lol.

    Didn't win anything last night. I was one ticket off from winning the grand prize. The person who bought a 3 pack of cigars before me won. It was only a $75.00 Credit at the Eastgate Jungle Jim's. Plus bonus raffle tickets for their Cigar night.

  • Just finished a Vicarias Black now smoking an EP Carrillo Rebel. It was recommend to me by the Asst. Mgr. in Jungle Jim's Cigars. It does not disppont. Nice high medium to full body cigar. Hanging out at Jungle Jim's Summer Bash listening to a band. Might be having a Crowned Heads Juarez next. It just came on the market recently.

  • The Italia is one of my 'go to' cigars. The first one I ever tasted 'A' ' flavor in back in 2007ish. A little nuttiness in it.

    I know Rick Rodriguez personally, I actually have his phone number. Oh he's the Master Blender for CAO that developes their cigars. Justin I can send you pics with My Wife and him...he likes her more than he likes me...lol.

    My understanding is that the founders are retaining the right to control the vision.  Sounds like that might preserve the integrity.

    Here's hoping, anyway.

    Sounds like every small brewery they bought then it didn't happen. I'm saddened that they would start a company then sell out. It's the Magic Hat Brewing Syndrome. Those guys went even brewers, but Ad Agents that started a brewery just to sell it off.

  • Won another box tonight. Box of the My Father Cuban Sandwich which was my first stick of the night. I won 10 of them a month or so ago there too. It's a decent smoke and only goes for about $3.25 a stick at retail. My buddy said he found them for 50 some dollars for a box online.

  • They changed the Cigar event to tonight and it's My Father. Currently smoking a My Father Tabacos Baez. (Cuban Sandwich). So far, so good.

    Nice. I'm gonna make it to one of these events soon. 

    Talk is cheap...lol. 

    Honestly I'll let you know when they are going to open their dedicated cigar building. I'm thinking it will be September and they will have a huge cigar event to kick it off. You will be welcomed at our table(s).

    In the mean time Justin, if you are still on Twitter, DM me your digits. I'm not sure how to post pics here any more, so I'll let you post them...no Homo.
