Re: What are you reading?
Mulamadhyamakakarika by Nagarjuna, translated by Jay Garfield as The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way. Mind-bending stuff, and absolutely brilliant. If you've read Hume, Kant, or Wittgenstein...

Re: Allow me to be a grammer nazi for a while

Re: Ethiopian Traditional Coffee Ceremony

Re: Bye Bye Ethiopian Micro Lots
That's terrible news. :mad: I've been drinking Aricha 27 all week -- this is iconoclastic coffee. Fantastic stuff. I can't believe they'd want to adulterate this totally unique bean by blending it...

Re: What are you reading?
Sounds like a great place! I'm a law librarian in a detention facility, so the books I see everyday are not quite as appealing. Not to mention my customers... but it's by far the most interesting job...

Re: Tamboril is Back...Oh God
Back in the day this was a truly turdly cigar. Hands down the worst cigar I've ever smoked... maybe Cremosa is worse, but I haven't had the pleasure. I can't imagine anything worse than a mid-90's...

Re: Colbert Report Nub Rant
This took me by surprise when I saw it on the show last night. It was basically a visual joke, but you gotta admit, the Nub is a funny looking cigar.

Re: What cigar did you smoke today?
Tabacos Baez Monarcas. Seemed about half-way between a Cabaiguan and a 601 Connect. More peppery than a Cab, but not as powerful as the 601.
