Finally finished this one off and framed it.

Congrats @Chibearsv!!! 🎆

it doesn't. the mere thought is a perversion, a travesty. at the most, you could call it non-alcoholic sparkling, but never champagne. i suspect if anyone is out there advertising it as that then the CVIC will be tapping their lawyers on their shoulders. they are extremely strict about such things. they have sued to prevent the use of the name for all manner of things like perfumes, cider, bread and so on. they even sued the swiss town of Champagne to prevent wine producers in the town using the name. they will be allover this.

Congrats @Gubbins!!!! 🎇

I would fill a whole humidor with that!

Are you in a space simulator?

Thanks, @Lucas Buck! I've always wanted to keep my CCs at low temp and low 60s, but it was not easy to achieve due to local weather and being unware of Boveda 58%. It's happy to hear that this is absolutely great for mine too

Good to be back! I flew back in at midnight after a long 20 hr flight so let me have today to rest up, catch up and get my feet under the desk before I tackle the following The Phoenecia release of the Punch Princessa. Rumours from the world of Habanos s.a The NC V CC battle for the Middle East The new BR Dalia and Fenomenos releases (reception and timing). Cigars and travel. The best cigars of the past two weeks. Off for a quick gym session and a kip

Hell, I'd at least pick up a couple singles...

The Lizards pair La Galera Habano in Lancero with The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The guys return to the lancero after a full year away, they share new cigar releases from Bond Roberts and Habanos S.A. and "Dr. Bam Bam Scholls" proves gullible with some unique lounge attire. PLUS: New Bond Roberts & Habanos S.A. Releases, Lounge/Shop Owners Treating Young Customers Poorly, Pairing Mentality Redux, The Economist on Cuba, Passionate UK House of Lords Cigar Speech, World Cigar Show in Dubai & Gizmo's Spanish Lesson

"Will not scratch"

Thought folks might be interested in being able to nominate their favorite cigar for the Halfwheel Reader's Choice. https://halfwheel.com/readers-choice-awards-2025-nominations-open/457766/ I nominated the BR Linea 109 No 1 because it is freaking fantastic.

That is too funny. My grandmother and aunts used to start week in advance (soaking/cleaning the eels and cod) they were cooking for like 30. Don’t know how they did it. I cheat a little (most are already cleaned) but still fresh.

Someone should re-release under that brand. Same box and all!

Seven fishes is SOOOO much work! One year, my wife and I did our own weird version. We used Swedish Fish, Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream, fish and chips, played Go Fish, listened to Schubert's Trout Quintet, and I will have to ask her what the other 2 were.

Xmas Eve is the busy day, feast of the seven fishes (if I do all seven then more work for me so maybe just 5 this yr??). Wife will be doing the Italian cookies (leading up to). And if too cold, it’s the one day I get to smoke in house next to open window with fan (don’t ask)

Thanks! I figure why not go all out, ya know?

Finally found my 2 pack of fundies from two summers ago after I just received a new 25pk. So had the funds for 18months - it’s pretty damn good. So even better that I just ordered/recvd the new pk

You got some good grub on the menu!

That temp range is not only fine but close to ideal in my book. I also prefer to smoke at 60% or below and very rarely have draw problems.
