What i like to do at the end of a long day...

[pickles]

Am I the only one that read the OP? The question was about your favorite cigar, not what you like to do at the end of the day. Though the replys have been good.
I had a friend that smoked cigars and he got me interested in a cigar with a fine glass of whatever. Jack I think. My wife is not a cigar fan so that didn't last very long. I'd rather get close to her than a cigar. Oh well.

Ashton Cabinent or La Flor Dominicana ligero are my 2 favorites. I like it when my cigar smoke offends the cigarette smokers at a restaurant or bar.

Hit the shower, grab some chow, kick back and relax....and surf the net of course.

On a hot day a nice ICE COLD beer goes down nicely!! Ahhhhhhh!!

Everytime you post I feel we have more and more in common.

My favorite cigars would be San cristobals and the Fuentes Hemingway. Haven't had a good cigar in a while.

At the end of a long day there is nothing like relaxing with my dogs and girl. A few cold beers are nice as well.

Padron 64 anniversary editions. Never had a bad one

Tried a new one last night from the stash I brought back from Orlando. Anyone ever been to Corona Cigar? They have over 3.5 million in stock. The entire store is basically one big humidor!

btw, you can go to any drugstore or Costco and ask the pharmacy for some propylene glycol. It's pretty inert stuff that is mainly used as the base carrier for cough medicine.

It's vapour pressure is 70% though so when mixed with distilled water in your humidor, it will suck up humidity when it needs to and lets it go if the humidor is not at 70%. I got about 100ml at Costco for $1.50 once I explained to the pharmacist what I wanted it for.

If you buy the solution at the cigar store, it will cost you $10-15 for a solution of the same thing that already has distilled water in it. Make it for pennies like we do our car stuff by buying the concentrates and diluting them yourself...

Thought I'd post a few relevant pics from my recent trip.

Beer MacGyver

Five things you didn’t know you could do with beer.


Polish your bling
“I use beer to shine leaves on my big rubber plant,” says Alma Lekic, a gerontologist. “It works wonders.” The acidity in beer makes it an excellent cleaner for gold, silver and copper jewellery. Just drop the tarnished trinket in a glass of beer, leave overnight (or longer if the piece is really nasty) and polish with a dry cloth.


Stain furniture
Helen Sheedy, sales manager at Wellington Brewery, says her friend used the brewery’s Russian Imperial Stout to stain his wooden tabletop. Beer soaks into wood, giving it the uneven colouration of an antique. Anything from a dark chestnut to a black beer will work, just make sure to sand off any varnish first.

Exfoliate skin
The hop flower is said to have antiseptic and healing properties. Maria Haggo, operations manager at the Ritz-Carlton spa, devised a hop scrub for their Blokes and Beer treatment. Dried flowers from Mill St. Brewery are crushed and mixed with sea salt and essential oils to soften and cleanse hands.


Kill pests
Pour beer in little bowls to trap fruit flies (cover it with plastic wrap and poke a few holes—the suckers can get in but can’t escape) or in open bowls in the garden to drown slugs.



Get to sleep
Hop pickers were known to pass out on the job, and hops have been recommended as a sedative and sleep agent since the 1870s. Recent studies have confirmed the Zs-enhancing properties of the plant, which is a close relative of marijuana. Try drinking hop extract or tea, or slipping some whole hop flowers into a pillowcase.
