    Favorite Margarita Recipe?

    Pretty much that same recipe. I sometimes use a mix of key lime juice and freshly squeezed lime juice. Always use Cointreau (Grand Marnier will also do in a pinch.) We NEVER use triple sec or Margarita mix. They give me heartburn. We usually serve them just like you do. On the rocks, no salt...

    What are you listening to?

    Been listening to St. Vincent- Strange Mercy for the past two days. Annie Clark is one hell of a guitar player. Been on a metal kick for the past few weeks though. I am sure I'll be back to normal soon. :lol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Vincent_(musician)

    Stonehaven

    I wholeheartedly agree with this. It is indeed very good tobacco though. With all the other good, outstanding blends out there, I don't feel the pressure to seek this blend like some do. I seem to remember this blend quite readily available say 3-4 years back. The increasing rarity/hype began...

    Apps

    I mainly just use GMail, Sirius/XM Radio app, Geocaching.com app, Voxer, Stitcher (for some podcasts), and Words with Friends. The rest of the apps on my phone just seem to take up space

    Bernie has got a kickass internal metronome hidden somewhere in his brain :)

    Orlik Golden Slices - Readily available and really good. GLP Union Square - Readily available and really good. Macbaren Virginia #1- Lots of poeple dismiss McB blends, but I really like this one. Hamborger Veermaster- when available, see if you can grab a tin and see what you think. This one...

    Pipes and Tobaccos magazine

    I am a subscriber as well. Great photography. My favorite features are Trial by Fire, and the Jack Dupont short stories. Simone sounds pretty hot :)

    Favorite Book?

    Can't pick just one! "The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy" by Douglas Adams I read the collected stories of H.P Lovecraft year round for some reason. I have four of the compilation books published by Arkham House some years ago.

    How To Make Cuban Coffee

    Yeah 'cafe cubano' is awesome. It's all in the sugary concoction. I usually use my espresso machine to make the actual coffee part, but the little stove top makers (we call them 'Grecas' in Puerto Rico) work just fine.

    What type of razor do you use?

    I'll revive this thread since I am new, but count me in the DE/straight razor camp. Made the switch almost 10 years ago when my first son was born. While my straight razor use has dwindled to a Sunday afternoon shave 2-3 times a month, my DE razors see heavy use. Don't miss paying for carts one bit.

    I'm Done with shaving cream!

    LOL! Nothing wrong with that. I have my share of nice shaving soaps, but I am never averse to using some drugstore Williams or VDH shaving soap.
