Avocado is a flavor not a color

Latest Activity

Geez, I never really thought about it, but I really never visit the Camacho website. Nevertheless, I completed the survey and if chosen to be a beta testor, will certainly fulfill my duty!

Thanks for asking, Anthony. Even after last weekend's loss to the Cowboys, I still think that New Orleans is the class of the NFC. I am picking for them to be the NFC's representative in the Super Bowl. I think the NFC Championship game is going to…

It is damn sad. I just hope that we don't find out anything unpleasant was involved. Heart failure at such a young age is rare to say the least.

Flaco, if you'll check carefully, you'll see that there are no Nancyboys in this picture! (that is, you are correct)

My preference is for Thursday against the Braves, but I would also go to the Saturday game. Please let me know if there are planning things you'd like me to do! I'm very good at planning travel itineraries...

Profile Information

Hometown:
Perth Amboy, where the wind comes sweeping off the oil refineries
About Me:
Just your average over-stimulated, overfed middle-aged graying paunchy white guy. But perhaps not so average in the level of my enagagement with the inner and outer worlds. Well-read and always learning, always searching. Geeky perhaps, unapologetically so. Forsook a potential lucrative career in the sciensces in exchange for creative pursuits, including a great amount of self-examination and reflection. All dat spiritual stuff. I have fun doing anything I do, and my life is never boring.

Besides cigars, there's music (singing and listening) - Early Music, With a specialty in Gregorian chant, and many other musical genres as well – and other arts; films and books; rollerblading; writing (philosophical stuff, autobiography and fiction); and travelling, both this great big country of ours and the greater amazing world out there. Getting back into the dating game after several ultimately disappointing dalliances.

Favorite Cigar Brands:
This is my favorites for the Secret Santa, so really more of a wish list. Plus, I realize what I smoke regularly has changed drastically.

First of all, anything big ring gauge (54-60) is bound to please me (so if you send me a Lancero I will undoubtedly frown and put it on the bottom of my humidor and never smoke it). Secondly, I am a big fan of Camacho, CAO and Oliva (Serie V mostly), and all their various lines (for example, Nub and Cain). Lastly, I am a fan of all strengths and taste profiles, though I don't go for the insanely strong, strong-for-the-sake-of-kicking-ass cigars.
What cigar accessories do you own?
Colibri, Xikar and Lotus lighters, Xikar cutter, humidor, and three coolerdors stuck into an 1850s dresser (boy, the inside of that dresser smells, mmm, good).
How many box purchases do you make a year?
One or two... or three or four
Did someone invite you to Social Cigar? And if so who?
Trailmix, sort of

Smoker's Haven and Room 101 on October 29, 2009 - what a blast!

I am overjoyed to report that I met Maria from Camacho at the Smoker's Haven in Metuchen last night, and had a great time hanging out with her, Ave (the manager of Smoker's Haven), Paul (the manager of their Matawan store) and Andy (Smoker's Haven's owner).

But let's back up for a moment. I had a busy trying day at work yesterday, so I was determined to get out to NJ for this event. And I did it - rushed from the office to the subway to Penn Station and caught the 5:54 with just a few minutes t… Continue

Fight Night was Out of Sight!

Once again, a truly transcendent night. Once again, the agency of getting together to smoke cigars has led to a truly wonderful night. And once again, I caution you in reading the following to not attempt to separate what you might consider fanciful from what might seem real and verifiable. For I assure you that in doing so you would only tear away some of the good in your attempt. Some of what I say may in fact be what I wish had happened. Some may be what should have happened. And some is what… Continue

Meeting the Maduro people at Cigar Inn, 8/7/09

Ade, Sandi, Herbie and I were fortunate enough to meet some of the wonderful folks from the Maduro club - Kirk, Denise and Vanessa - on Friday, August 7th at Cigar Inn in Manhattan. Other people who joined us included Dan aka NYCStogie, Ron (a friend of Herbie's) and some friends of Sandi's whose names I regret I can't remember.

The backdrop for our evening was that incredible 15-inning nailbiter between the Yankees and the RedSox, which began before I even arrived at Cigar Inn, and lasted till… Continue

June 10-14 in Boston: Music, Aht and oh yes, cigahs!

The Boston Early Music Festival, held in June every other year, is the pre-eminent gathering of musicians, educators and craftspeople in the field of Early Music, i.e., Western Music of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Groups come from all over the country and the world to perform in front of the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic audiences for this music imaginable.

For the third time, this year I was able to attend the Festival as a performer, this time singing with the New Yor… Continue

June 27, a night that will live in infancy!

First of all, let me be clear. To my mind, without Sandi, it's like we didn't really have our first NYC Social Cigar Herf. Without her, how could it be legit, how could it be real?

That aside, we soldiered on without her, and I will now give an account of the evening as I remember it. Or maybe I'd be better off giving an account as I don't remember it, or to put it another way, if I imagined what happened, through a veil of tobacco smoke and liquor, what would it look like? I won't depart entir… Continue
