“Smoked Up” No.9
This past week has been a crazy one for me. I have had to give up my current position at work due to company’s sales dropping. But, I was going to be put into a different area in two weeks. Within those two weeks, they changed my job position three times. They finally decided where I […]

“Smoked Up” No.8
The past week has been fairly busy for me. I had my daughter, Satori’s 2nd birthday and party to plan and execute. That went over well, and glad its over and done. She is growing up fast; almost too fast for me! I got to have a small herf at a local “famous” BBQ joint […]

“Smoked Up” No.6

Alec Bradley Maxx Brazil Corona
The Alec Bradley Maxx Brazil is a cigar that is only available at Cigar.com or CigarsInternational.com and is the same blend as the original Maxx line. But, instead of the Nicaraguan maduro wrapper and a Costa Rican binder, it has a Brazilian Habano wrapper and a Brazilian Mata Fina binder. I have had my fair share of […]
