@Bijan look for a heated hoody, most powertool suppliers have them which work on a battery pack of that brand. Some people at work wear them (dockworkers on ships) and they are very happy having them at some chilly evenings or nights. Its not as cold as in Canada, we barely hit minus celcius temps, but it works wonders. 

Got the Milwaukee tools hoodie that uses M12 batteries. Makes a big difference.

Wearing the hoodie under this ? (or my non shiny version of that jacket).

By the end of the beer: “feet are toasty...but with a third sock...” ?

As much as I like becoming the bionic smoker I don't trust any of these heated devices not to short circuit to go anywhere near there.

Dreadful selfie from the SELRW. A perfectly pleasant Cohiba Siglo IV on a rather brisk Florida afternoon...

So jealous,  would love to be plugged into such a normal/natural life.       Your mercury levels must be through the roof

Happy New Year. I did some grilling, had dinner, built a fire in the grill and smoked a Saints and Sinners exclusive No 1.

Korean bbq is an awesome dinner. Never had that cigar. Might have to try one.

One of my favorite things to eat and it's as easy as marinating and cooking some short ribs.

The cigar was part of the Saints and Sinners (Tatuaje) 2020 annual member kit. My buddy is part of the club and part of his haul were pairs of cigars numbered 1-5. They are different vitolas but otherwise no info on them. I don't know if they're the same blend, different size or all different blends or what. We smoked the #1 that night and the #2 a couple weeks later. I liked the #1 better as the #2 seemed a little bland. I think we might be smoking the #3s this weekend. So we'll see how that one is. I wonder if people sell these things on the secondary market but I'm guessing they're a little hard to find out in the wild.

A few of the Sydney FOH crew came over for a blind champagne tasting. Just a bit of fun, working out what you preferred, not what was what. Put in 2 Aussie sparkles to throw people off... kinda worked, but 2 people picked them up as Aussie ( @Kam even managed to pick House of Arras as one of the producers).

Fun day, especially since most of us haven't had a chance to catch up in months.

I don't drink a ton of champagne but had a few bottles over the holidays......one of which was the Perrier Jouet brut. Hadn't had it in years but I really enjoyed it...good fruit with nice austerity. Outperformed some much more expensive fizz IMHO.

That non vintage Billecart-salmon is my favourite!

Tough hobby during winter in Chicago.

Haven't had that one or the Aussies.

I'll hunt them out they may be difficult to find the Arras and Jansz stateside.

Gorgeous.  My father has a ‘75 Commando 850 in the red white blue color scheme. We scoot around through the canyons and coastline out here, but I’m weary to hop on it and deal with all the backwards and reversed controls.  One day...ride safe!

Definitely feel for you !  Born in Chicago and then lived in the suburbs for 40+ years.  Still talk about all the big snows that allowed us as kids to sled off the roof of our one story home and shut down the city later when I was working.  I hope I never have to shovel snow again -- which is why when I retired I moved to south Florida.  We think cold here is 55 degrees F. and it's fun watching all the heavy jackets people wear at that temperature.  I remember never putting a jacket on in Chicago until below 20 degrees F.  Stay warm and out of the wind !!!

Getting ready for Super Bowl with chili on a cold day. Nice and warm in the garage though. CPE in the ready for the game!

[Gamehawker]

This is the second Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 “MEL DIC 16” from a box I got about 3 years ago. The first one I smoked did not impress me that much and that was about a year and a half ago.  I was smoking this cigar in my garage roasting coffee before the Super Bowl tonight. 

Overall this was a good cigar with orange, chocolate and espresso flavors.
