I've been meaning to get a little more into cigars. How does that one smell? I have an ex that is half Dominican that swore that Dominican cigars are the best. Any validity to that insanity?
I have no idea. Never smoked one before though I have also been curious. The tobacco itself has a mild earthy smell. My wife got it from a shop in Vegas and she was told this might be a good "beginner" cigar.
The description makes it sound like it's a decent beginner. If you're just starting out, stick to the more mild ones until you get used to the nicotine concentration.
May be some. When I smoked them the Arturo Fuente were my favorite. Hemingway signatures were the best, but the curly heads were great for the money. Just have to watch the stems in the wrappers. They used the lower grade leaves on them to keep the cost down, but they still had a great flavor.
The last of my eBay binge has come in, with the exception of my Schick Eversharp. This Rubberset 100 is in decently rough condition. This will prove to be a challenge because of the grooves. I'm up for the challenge.

How bout a “Brush As Is” Shave Challenge before you clean it up?
Admittedly that thing looks like a safety hazard...
I think I might be able to get it done with the Rubberset 139N? It can't be any worse than stabbing myself with a knife that was buried in a few decades of bacterial growth in an old knot.How bout a “Brush As Is” Shave Challenge before you clean it up?

I hadn't either. I posted I found they are sold on etsy in different shapes and colors and that if I didn't like the look or feel I may change it.

Don't ask me how she pulled it off but the wife with the help of her dad found 2 bottles of the Alcoholado Maravilla on Amazon and a Citrus Witch Hazel. She said it was the last 2 listed. Can't believe they sent the correct ones although they were way overpriced. Just when I was going to be hunting them up north..........................I'll still be looking if anyone here is wanting some?
Nice Score @Dave in KY ! I might need to start looking around the Baton Rouge area at the various stores we have here that cater to the Hispanic communities to see if anyone has this stuff! Not sure I am willing to order on line, but if I find a place that has it...I might be inclined to pick some up.

Where would you hunt for this stuff up north @Dave in KY?
Indiana??? I had to look at a map to make that dumb joke, so the joke is really on me.
