Angie’s List

Angies List Has a Poor Business Model

I was talking to a customer earlier today and he asked me if his review helped any. I had no idea what he was talking about. “The one I gave you on Angie’s List.”, he declared. I have no reviews that I can see when I…

Adrienne & Co.

Adrienne & Co.

Today I had lunch at Adrienne & Co. Bakery & Cafe at 129 West Court Avenue in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Not being much on frou-frou places to eat I never would have gone out of my way to eat here. Yes, I was dragged in kicking and screaming by a, shameful to say, girl. The atmosphere…

Park Avenue

Park Avenue

A leathery smoke with hints of nut and bread. Medium bodied and smooth throughout. For my palate it was okay, just. At $6 a stick, not just enough for me.

My UZI Weighs a Ton

My UZI Weighs a Ton

Medium to full in body. Dark and oily maduro wrapper conceals a hefty dose of Nicaraguan and Brazilian long-fillers. The smoke is hearty and rich, and slow to burn. Not bold, but… balanced, flavors from start to finish. Hints of earth, leather, pepper and cocoa. Not bad but also one that I would not stock…

5 Vegas Gold

This cigar has a rich satiny texture and a slight nutty taste with mild peppery notes – yet, creamy. A very nice smoke and of all the Vegas I’ve experienced this one is the best. And not a bad price at $3.60 a stick.

Nub

Nub Cameroon

I attended the Studio Tobac Tour at Riverside Cigar Shop and Lounge in Jeffersonville, Indiana and tried the Nub. The Nub Cameroon cigar is short and has a large ring gauge. Though it was short it took over an hour to smoke. Tobacco was tight, burned evenly, and had a hint of cedar ans coffee.…
