I'm interested in getting into surf skating. I'm above average size (6'4, 295lbs). Do you have any recommendations on what kind/size board and equipment I should look for? A long time ago (20 years ago). I used to skateboard and I liked this 9 ply deck they made back then. Is thickness an issue or is there a length/wheelbase I should be looking for? Thank you for any help
I don't want to comment too much on the flavors of this because this exact one hasn't been resting in my humidor long, but I expect it to be great like most MF stuff. I've had the blend before and it's awesome, woodsy notes dominate
I've smoked a few of these this week but I didn't want to comment on it until I had one with at least 14 days of rest. And this one is definitely tasting a little better than the others. Nice example of what I think of as the corojo flavor. Wood sweetness with some earthy flavors mixed in. I've been very happy with the few HVCs I've tried. This one tastes a little cheaper/younger than the one I posted a few weeks ago (that one was a 50 year anniversary or 500 year something or other, I can't remember) but it is cheaper. This one is very good for sub 10 dollar price point
Have any of you guys been to ybor city? I'm thinking about considering it as a bachelor party destination. I was wondering what are the must do lounges and/or restaurants. Also what location to stay in? I found a nice apartment for rent on 7th avenue. I know there's a bunch of lounges on 7th avenue but idk how spread out the area is. Any thoughts or info are welcome
I have a light preference for padrons natural wrapper cigars but it's really hard to improve on this. The earthiness is a bit more subtle than the padron x000 series, and I love the padron earthiness. Picking up a touch of espresso sweetness but mostly the classic padron earth just smoothed out compared to the x000. A+
It's a little mild for my palate but still enjoyable. When I am in the mood for something mild this is a solid choice. Main note is cedar, maybe just a tiny bit of earth. Also, my humidors might be a little bit dry for Cameroon wrappers, it's burning pretty hot. It strikes me as a bit of a one note cigar, not very complex but that one note is pleasant
Lots of earth and pepper. In a larger size this might be too much of a powerhouse for me but in Petit robusto it's great. I love my father Petit robustos anyway but this one is very strong
Never had an hvc before that I can remember. Got this from small batch cigar club. I'll add some thoughts after I finish
I was planning to make the braised pork w/ chilled recipe from salt fat acid heat for my father in law. My question is how big of a stock pot do I need for a pork shoulder? I'm looking at the largest stock pot in my cupboard and doubting that it's big enough, but I have no idea how big a pork shoulder is. Sorry in advance if this is a silly or vague question I'm just not sure if I need to go out and buy something bigger or how much bigger. I just don't know what is needed to braise a pork shoulder

Tough to beat this. I haven't had a padron thousand in a while and it feels like coming back to an old friend. The padron earth flavor is just so perfect everytime. The cap on this seemed a little fucked up but it's not affecting anything. Drinking a cheap Cabernet with it
