Now I am not saying I have no lawn to attend to but a quick ten minute hoseing with a weed and feed product attached to the hose always does the trick. Now the cigars,I was an avid cigarette smoker for approx 35 years, I quit that nasty habit about 10 years ago, and I must say I feel a lot better about it, as for the cigars I was the one who smoked those, as a wise old man once called them, machine made dogs (5 in a box) and "it's a monkey" cigars,so I guess I really don't know what a good cigar really is.Harry Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036188436252157281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468891502132816575.post-65464234288645128162008-07-18T09:11:00.000-04:002008-07-18T09:11:00.000-04:00Got to say guys...I fired up one of the "freebees"...Got to say guys...I fired up one of the "freebees" The Super Fuerte, a dark skinned Robusto by Indian Tabac, and it was a slow burning beauty....I was out on the back steps listening to the Cincy Reds choke to the Mets, and this smoke lasted almost 2 hours...and was smooth burning until the end. I may have to order a box of these.PRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429172501061105316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468891502132816575.post-44448516791924274202008-07-17T22:14:00.000-04:002008-07-17T22:14:00.000-04:00Blaze up bro.

The last time I bought a bundle of those at least half of them were rolled too tight and were <I>impossible</I> to smoke. I still have four of those damned things in my humidor, and I don't know exactly WHY I'm saving them. Maybe to offer to acquaintances (NOT friends!) if they stop by while I'm outside with a smoke and a brew. As a result of that experience I've pretty much decided to stay with my ol' reliable Partagas Spanish Rosados.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468891502132816575.post-38304810140448448462008-07-17T15:07:00.000-04:002008-07-17T15:07:00.000-04:00Oh m'gawd this brings back horrid memories.

But once when I was out on wargames and had to work the night shift in the TOC (Tactical Operations Center) as well as do all the daily stuff, I tried a Honduran cigar. My ass was dragging after 2 weeks straight of the wargams. I as an e-5 trying to hold down the job of an e-8 that had left us. I was the only NCO in the S2 shop. I was in over my head and hating it. But I was dragging ass bigtime one night when my Captain gave me a Honduran cigar that he had. It was green. I hadnever seen a green cigar. Just putting it in my mouth caused my lips to tingle with a nicotene burn. I never smoked it. Just chomping on the damn thing kept me awake.Ron Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401859974073059650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468891502132816575.post-77284013790003989482008-07-17T13:30:00.000-04:002008-07-17T13:30:00.000-04:00I use the Round UP Ivy killer on the poison ivy th...I use the Round UP Ivy killer on the poison ivy that gets on my electric fence.
