That's cold, Wade. I thought you and Brett were chums.

'Grats to the Pack -- I didn't have a dog in this fight. Wait, that's Michael Vick. Anyway, while I'm glad the Packers won -- hard not to like Rodgers and feel good about a ring for Woodson and some of the other long-time players -- I wouldn't have minded seeing Rapistberger get a third ring just to spite the Tom Brady rump swabs in my area.

Black Eyed Peas. They sucked. WTF was the NFL thinking?

Crap,what about our National Anthem?

Oh and Go Pack! :-)

Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers and their fans. Tough loss for the Steeler Nation, I'm already looking forward to next season when we make yet another attempt at football immortality.

I know music styling may very. I know that tastes may very.

But, is it wrong to thing that personal musical stylings have no place when singing the National Anthem as a moment of respect?

Personally, I think our national anthem gets disrepected quite a bit when sung before many sporting events - by fan, by performers, and by those organizing the event.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

It was a good game last night. I have to say my stomach was doing flips at the end of the game. But all I have to say is GO PACK GO.

Worst National Anthem and halftime entertainment ever! If you can call that entertainment...EPIC FAIL!!!

Christina Aguilera is tough to look at, but her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner brought tears to my eyes.
Probably not as many tears as the Swisher Grape I have to smoke cause of the bet I lost to him, but tears nonetheless.

I b1tched about the cover two defense from the beginning of the second quarter, it decimated our blitz and the Pack had zero running game. The only way to Aaron Rodgers is to keep him on his back. We didn't get that done, and he made us pay.
What an amazing job by a young quarterback. It was truly a masterpiece for Packers fans to enjoy.
Everyone here said "Even though the Steelers lost, it was a really good game."
I punched them all in the face and threw them out of the house. :-)

I'm going to be taking a lot of crap from the Cleveland Browns fan all around me, I guess it's a good thing for them that they'll never have to experience what it feels like to loose a Super Bowl. :-)

Okay, last time Green bay won the superbowl. It was my birthday, Jan 26th 1997, this win was just as good and it's not even my birthday! Go, Pack, Go!

Oh, and Mike Tomlin is one classy guy "...they just played a great game..." it is great to see guys like him as head coaches in the NFL.

Do we need to post that pic of you again to remind everyone how bad the Gorilla Finger is, Paul? Swishers are NOT even close to them!!!
[Reply]

Scott, read my review of a Swisher and you will have an idea of what is waiting for you. Only thing is that it was worse than my review, didn't want to get suspended for language and scaring children.:-):-):-)
[Reply]

I can only imagine. I like grape, so there's that. I'd probably be better off eating it than smoking it.
[Reply]

Scott, I cannot do it. I cannot make you smoke a grape Swisher. I will post picks up tomorrow, but I didn't smoke a '26 #35 maduro, I smoked a natural. So... If you just want to smoke a, umm, a JJ Maduro - that will be sufficient.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

That right there is true Christian mercy. :-)

Thanks for that, Todd. Beit as it may, I'm smoking that filthy Swisher, at least up till I puke. A bet is a bet, ya know?
Now I just have to find one. I think they have them at our convenience stores here, I'll put it on my shopping list.
Once I find it, we're gonna have to wait till I find somewhere I can smoke it. That might take till the weather breaks a bit, or when I go to Punta Cana in February. I'd just go ahead and smoke it in the garage, but it's too cold, and I might have to burn my garage down afterwards. :-)

So, I was supposed to get a picture of me smoking a Padron '26 #35. It was supposed to be a maduro, but went for the natural instead. Forgive me!

Anyway, was supposed to post some pics.

Good-looking stick. What a great size with that wondeful box press. But I gotta say, the Padron wrappers and not the prettiest.

First, this was an incredible smoke. After already having had a couple other cigars, I did think that maybe it wouldn't be as full-bodied as I normally think of them. Wooooops! That was a wrong idea. Incredibly powerful for such a little stick. It was "all that" right from the get go and kept it till nubbed. Rich and bold flavor, some spice and wonderful complexity with some citrus, cedar, and leather notes.

Yes, it truly is enjoyable. And watching Pawn Stars and Pickers with 14holestogie and CoreyD was comical. Corey was the photographer who chronicled this for you.

Way to go Packers! Thanks for the excuse to have a couple great smokes.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
[Reply]

Did I read that right?? Scott, did you say you need a Grape Swisher?? Well, I'll bet someone can take care of that for you. I'd hate for you to have to go shopping for one when a box of them could magically show up at your doorstep. :-)
[Reply]

Looks like Titletown to me. I showed up after the game, stayed home and watched it with the wife. However, I did celebrate after the game with a 1989 Cuban Dunhill followed by a Don Carlos Anniversario. It was a good night all the way around.
[Reply]

Where else would true Packer fans go to have a cigar if they are near Green Bay.

Thought about coming out Sunday night to watch the game there, but decided against it. How many Super Bowls will the Packers be in and in which I be able to sit and watch with my sons? Hopefully, when they are old enough, they'll say, "Hey dad, why don't we go watch the Super Bowl at Titletown so we can enjoy a fine cigar wathing the Packers beat the ______?"

Till that time, I think it was great to be home with my sons and watch the game, high-5ing, cheering, and biting our fingernails together.

So, Tim, Corey, and I ended up over there on Monday for a bit.

One of these times I'll run into you there.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
