Maybe that could also delay my premature grey hairs. Ha!

Yes, a great local liquor store is an awesome thing because they can

course reminded me that I really need to go see about ordering some Hitching
Post Pinot Noir because it is some of the best wine I’ve ever tasted and I
want more :)

I’m removing all clutter from my house, not that we had much to begin with. Our house is going to be featured in the new reality show: UN-HOARDERS. ;-) Did you know that if there’s a wine you like, but can’t get locally, you can ask your liquor store to order it for you? I just had the local Blanchards order me a case of Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Toscana IGT. It’s a nice red table wine. :-)

Like wine, good cigars get better with age – to a point. After three or four years they’ve reached a peak they’re not going to exceed, and after five they start to lose a bit of their flavor.

I have saved special sticks for special occasions, but there’s a feedback loop that shouldn’t be ignored. Good smokes, like good wines, good food, or any other good libations, can be what *makes* an ordinary occasion special. Hoarding things for special occasions means you’ll
