It is late Sunday morning here. The hurricane that wrecked El Salvador, crossing over from the Pacific, turned into a tropical storm front (here) and dumped about 10 inches of rain throughout the islands; very overcast and wet week. My kids are swimming in the pool (with my goldie), my wife is doing laps and in-laws are out shopping. Since it’s still morning and I really prefer not to smoke strong cigars (at least on an empty stomach) until later, I’m burning a Bolivar Tubo No. 3. IMO it is a really nice smoke; clean, easy draw and doesn’t go out. Notes of cedar, spice and some cinnamon in this stick. I read Bloofington’s riff on Matzos. That was hysterical. I emailed it to my neighbors down the road who are Jewish.

When I was growing up my mother made roasts and pot roasts pretty much the way Vince does That does make my drool gland start working over time. I hate it when I have to wipe my chin while reading Vince’s recipes.

Speaking of enjoyment, along with fine cigars it’s always nice to have a fine beverage: sipping on 30 year old Laphroaig, an Islay Scotch. It has that trace taste of salty, with the classic peat smokiness; flavors you get from very old sherry or Madeira. When my wife sniffed it in the bottle, she thought it smelled like the corner of a medieval church. I thought it was more like the smell of a hedge after rain.I don’t know if either of you two has tried this, but if you like whiskey this is right up there. If this keeps up, I’m going to light up this Partagas Churchill Deluxe that I’ve been saving for a sunny afternoon and watch the seagulls catch the wind.

Sunday evening smoke...RazorKings son had a birthday party...BBQ shrimp..chicken ..hot dogs ...cake..Gin and tonics and a darn good Cusano Carojo 1997 toro!

Great cigar...nice appearance..firm...easy draw...burned perfect...alittle taste of coffee in there...I was pleased with it. Strong but not overpowering. Gonna stock a few of these.
 
Saturday evening smoke was a Romeo Y Julieta Vintage Churchill, sitting in Desk Top III for ohhhhh, maybe two years. This cigar is not as good as the "regular" line, but very pleasant, and always takes a lonnnnnnng time to smoke. I lit this at 1756 hours and finished at 2007 hours. Extremely smooth, a bit "green" tasting, with a light crispness. It's nice if you're looking for a long, contemplative, but not very flavorful cigar experience, with no kick to it.

I'm getting ready to have a Scotch Bonnet pepper, whose heat will be tamed with spoonfuls of honey, and after that I'm going to have a can of Progresso Grilled Chicken Italiano soup. Later, I'm hoping to make my infamous 50-60 clove spaghetti with garlic and oil.
 
Scotch Bonnette Pepper, MAN YOU ARE CRAZY, I love hot peppers but that is just off the scale for me, Good luck, Chocolate & a big glass of whole milk, the fat will put out the fire !!! now the garlic ,oil & spagetti, yea baby thats me, well it was me, now I just need a small dish , Pasta fills me up fast, I stay away from it , bread & rice, , I do eat all 3 things but just small portions
Well Barb got home from the hospital last night, she had the same gastric by pass that I did, so NO more Sunday Roast beef dinners, for about 6 months !, we are on liquids till next week, she will go to the doc on Thursday, Baby food is next on the menu, I did have a grilled cheese sandwich today, when she was in the bathroom, I hate to eat in front of her when she is having Broth & jello ! hahaha, well the sunday postings will still be going up, just not as much Food related stuff, in the future, a lot of Tofu , high in proteen & easy to digest , Dammmm its h3ll getting old & fat !!!! I am down in the high 250 area, about 50 more to go for me, then a trip to the hospital & have a few pounds of hanging skin removed from my gut, Dammm how did I ever let myself get so big, when we got married , she was a size 10/12 my tux was a 43 Tall, well that was 35 years ago, & about 100 Million calories or more !!!!
well time is not your friend when you love to PIGOUT !!!! , Time for a glass of water & to bed, Breakfast will be coffee & one egg for me, juice , jello & coffee for her, , dammmm what a meal for a Gourmet ! some people eat to stay alive, I stay alive to EAT !! Enjoy, Vince
 
Well, here I am still alive, but I am in the final stages of one of the most uncomfortable hour and a half periods of my life. The ice pick has finally been removed from my navel. That Scotch Bonnet pepper was the only pure red one from a multi-colored assortment, which included a red and orange one, some striped ones, green, red, white, combinations thereof, etc. I had wondered which was the hottest, and with about three or four peppers to go, this one was one of the hottest things I've ever had the idiocy to eat in one shot.

This pepper was also the biggest one in the package. I used large spoonfuls of honey this time, as I did once before. The time before I backed up the honey with matzoh and butter, for the fat thing. This time I decided to go just with pure sugar. The Food Network recently had someone say that sugar as well as fat will take care of the heat. I find that sugar, in my case, unheated, unfiltered, thick, whitish honey with all the natural bee dung left in works best.

Still and all, I knew something was terribly wrong when almost instantaneously after chewing that pepper right down, "some guy" sneaked up on me and shoved an ice pick in my navel. I was furiously downing large spoonfuls of honey, while my bowl of Progresso Grilled Chicken Italiano soup got closer and closer to room temperature. I ended up on my knees spitting into the toilet, with the whole gag reflex thingy happening in my stomach. The secretions came first in the mouth, after a whole lot of honey and shortness of breath with burning of the mouth.

After a while, the initial reactions shifted to the stomach and I knew I'd live when the salivating started to come up from the stomach and eventually turned into mucus. The sharp pain in my stomach continued almost until the one hour mark. At about that time I was able to eat my soup, and was actually glad it wasn't hot anymore. At this point, my stomach is still burning the center, but the ice pick has been removed.

I know that Scotch Bonnets, a variant of the habanero pepper, go from 100,000 up to 300,000 Scovilles. This one had to be near the high point of that range. If it was an exceptional one, it could even have been 400,000 or more. My hottest hot sauce is 600,000 and that's impossible to take more than one drop of on my sardines once a month. Two drops and I'm in trouble. But in this case, it was a case of eating an entire Scotch Bonnet raw, chewing it right up.

Most of my hot sauce/pepper experiences have not been bad at all, but this was one of the worst ever. However, I have finally reached the point where I'm moving away from the discomfort stage into the feeling like a super athlete again phase. I may even have the stones to smoke another large cigar. I'm taking a break from alcohol for awhile, but there's other stuff to drink in this world if I need that.

As for Vince and his life being less about food, I still think AmBack could benefit from his knowledge, history, and experiences, as well as his recipes. I may PM Bigg Bosss Mann and try to see if we can add a Vince's Kitchen to the cigar forums. Vince could post a recipe of the week thing and maybe answer questions about cooking in general. No piling on though, the man's got a life. No questions about how to boil water or make pancakes. :duh: :duh: :duh:

If you need to know how to make pancakes, get some Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Pancake Mix and READ THE DIRECTIONS!!! :cryinlaugh: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :cryinlaugh: :sm_angel:
 
hahahahahahahahahah Yea you said it hahahahahahahahahaha , way to hot for me hahahahahahahaha


as far as a recipe of the week, on the forum sure I would be glad to do it along with a few tips here & there , & I will answer questions & I have told people how to boil water !!!!!


hahahahahahahahahahahah
LIVE & LEARN next time remove the ribs & seeds ! yes you are the great DUMBONI
hahahahahaha
Enjoy, Vince
[/b]
 
No, I WANT the ribs and seeds, this was just a particularly nuclear pepper. :cryinlaugh: :duh: :cryinlaugh: :duh: :sm_angel: :sm_angel:
 
you better eat a quart of Ice cream, then when the pepper hits the synphinter mussel you can yell, come on Ice cream ! hahahahahaha , did it cause a breathing problem?? I know when I get some thing that is too high on the schovel scale , it takes my breath away just like a good punch in the solor plexes .Dammm I wish I could spel. but I hope I get it close enough to understand what I am tring to say. I bought a program that will type what you say, but I guess I talk bad or some thing, it spelled as bad as I did !!
well it is Sunday morning 29 th of May 2005 , a Big race day if your into motorsports, the Indy 500 & some Nascar event tonight the Coke 600 , both kind of put me to sleep, go straight down the road & make a left, then left again , left again , etc.etc , No one ever makes a right turn , give me road racing or Formula 1 , Canam , people can go right & up & down hills
Barb is on the mend & doing fine , I had my one egg for breakfast, she had jello & coffee, nothing out of the freezer today so no Pork roast, no beef roast, no T-Bone on the grill, not even hot dogs on the grill , I dont think I will even take the cover off the grill this week , what a way for a Food loving person , OH well , the price I pay for the calories I consumed over the years & the exersize programs I past over, so now it is time to pay the piper , & I dont like it one bit ! how stupid I was / or , Am !! almost as bad as the great bumboni , but I have more sence than to eat a scoth bonnet pepper, Again !! one time was enough , now I add just a half of one in the pot of chili, , cut up so small you never see it, they do have a nice flavor but just to much heat for me , I dont like Pain but some people do, they like the endorphine rush that envelopes you from the brain to the soles of the feet, I get the same feeling with a fine cigar, great coffee & a wonderful Single malt, all the pleasure with out the pain not unlike the first BJ after you girl friend gets her braces off ! hahahaha ,
have a great Memorial day, salute a service man or woman , for sure .
Enjoy, Vince
GO NAVY
 
Big Vince. Yes, right after the pepper, there was shortness of breath, and you know that is potentially dangerous for me, but because of the sweating and salivating, I never lapsed into an asthmatic state. I have my rescue inhaler and nebulizer if I need it, so no worry. No problems with the sphincter, just relieved myself about an hour ago. I usually don't have problems with my stomach or butt after eating hot food. Sometimes it hits the butt two or three days later though. :dunno: :cryinlaugh:

As for how everything turned out, I went to bed around 0255 hours, feeling pretty good. I awoke with the ice pick in my stomach again at 0518 hours and stayed awake for over an hour. Tossing and turning a lot this morning, stayed in bed until just after noon, then said gotta get up. Got up, having my first ____ of the day and coffee. Went to the bathroom, emptied the intestines, feeling great, like I could go out and run a world class 400. :duh: :duh: :duh: Yeah right, me and my dead grandmothers.

As for eating Scotch Bonnets, it's something I'm experimenting with. I've had five or six out of that package over the five or six weeks since I bought it, but this was the hottest by far. Hot sauce is one thing, but eating a whole, raw Scotch Bonnet, just popping it in your mouth, chewing and swallowing it like any old bell pepper is a new thing for me. I think the rest of them may just get cut up fine and put into a homemade spaghetti sauce or something like that. Last night was like getting your butt kicked on a dark lonely street at night by bat wielding thugs.

I usually don't have the fire in the stomach thing, and I almost never have the fire in the butt thing. This time the fire in the stomach was unbearable, but here I am alive, well and feeling 17 again. Heyyyyyy, maybe that's the problem, I need to grow the heck up. :duh: :cryinlaugh: :duh: :mrgreen: :duh: :sm_angel:

Well, you know Vince, I do like the heat. I'm not sure I like that much heat, though. I have to say, it's amazing how some people out there just have even way more tolerance than me for this stuff. I've only met two or three people in my life who can take hot sauce/pepper the way I can, and we didn't have a chance to find out who could take more. After watching some of the stuff on The Food Network, though, I ain't competing against any of those folks.

I saw a competition where the judges had to taste a pinhead's worth of The Source. The Source is one of the absolute hottest extracts, NOT sauces, EXTRACTS people :sm_angel: in the world at 7.1 MILLION Scovilles. :eek:mg: :eek:mg: :eek:mg: That's 12 times hotter :eek:mg: than the hottest sauce I have in my refrigerator. The judges' reactions varied, although a couple withstood it okay. I've always said that when it comes to hot sauces, of the eight lanes in the Olympic final, I might be occupying one, but I KNOW I ain't gettin' no medal. Well, I was amazed at the reaction of a couple of the judges, then one of the spectators, a lady somewhere in our age group, expressed her curiosity.

Well, after watching one of the judges nearly drop dead, and only one or two really withstand it, although they DID feel it, and the rest of the judges being somewhere in the middle, this lady DIDN'T EVEN BAT AN EYE!!! She looks into the camera, shrugs her shoulders, say's "it's hot, I guess," and then walks off. This middle-aged white lady takes a pinhead of 7.1 Million Scoville extract and shrugs her shoulders. The judges all got to down a lot of sugar and fat to kill the heat, and one STILL almost died. This lady just shrugs her shoulders and walks off.

:eek:mg: :eek:mg: :eek:mg:

Believe me, I ain't gettin' into anything like that. I think I'm going back to carefully measured amounts of hot sauce, NOT EXTRACTS, on my sardines, chicken and hard boiled eggs and leave the Scotch Bonnets for large amounts of food. I also heard that some guy walked into a bar at 2 a.m. one time and downed a SHOT GLASS of Blair's 2 a.m. Reserve, which is around 900,000 Scovilles.

:eek:mg: :eek:mg: :eek:mg:

I gotta go rest. If stuff like that is true, and after watching that lady on The Foot Network scoff at The Source, I'm outta here.




Until the next post. :dunno: :duh: :flush: :flush:
 
Dammmm I just spent the better part of an hour posting back to Bloof & the web site had a hickup & lost my post ! Dammmmmm
 
Bloofington: Eeeeeeeks! That is some kind of experience with those peppers! Remind me not to come within a thousand miles of anything that even approximates those. You don’t need workouts to stay in shape! Eat those and with your subsequent trip to La Restroom and attempts to breathe, should qualify as a heavy duty aerobic exercise plan. Now if you can just build some short rails on either side of the porcelain bus, you could do upper body gymnastic work while trying not to spread a lava trail throughout your house.

I’m smoking a Montecristo C Edicion Limitada 2003, given to me by my sailing buddy from this weekend. Since he samples quite a bit from my humidor whenever he is on-island, I thought the least he could do was furnish smokes for our sailing (which he did) and sticks for dessert (which he also did in spades).

This IMO is an unusual Montecristo, being a more full-bodied smoke than most of the line. It is a Corona Gorda and it takes the Montecristo taste into the Edicion Limitada production bracket. I am not a big fan of Montes; Cohiba and Bolivars being more my taste – BUT – this stick is an exception. It started out mild, with tea flavors and a little fruity, but about halfway through, it was like I had burned another stick; very powerful and strong. I’m getting quite a buzz from this.

I took my daughters and FuManChu, my goldie, to the carnival last evening. This is the final, last gasp party of tourist season on thisend of the Caribbean and the City was decked out. Of course, there’s nothing quite like a good carnival (lots of rides, food, lights and noise). The weather was perfect; cloudless night, starry skies and a great moon rise on the water. Fu hangs out with me at the carny (he can’t go on the rides – doesn’t meet the height requirement). This year we hung out near one of the International food stands (I miss Vince’s recipes already). It’s a good vantage point, because nearly everybody walks by and of course, there are always food accidents and Fu, being resourceful, always volunteers to “help police the area”. This is his second carnival and he hasn’t had a case of Bloofington’s “lava trails” yet. My wife (who is off with the in-laws on Water island) lectured me about not letting the kids (and Fu) stuff themselves with garbage (too late, that was about 3 cotton candies, hamburgers, jerked pork barbecued sandwiches, ice cream, etc., ago. – at last count there were 4 “accidents” near the food stand and Fu, did his civic duty).

I brought a couple sticks and got into a conversation with two of the local cops about the merits of churchills vs. double coronas. Good times.

Enjoy, Vince
 
25 dozen wings with trimmings…that’s a cookout. I’m very glad to hear both Vince and the wife are making a speedy recovery from “her” procedure. I think we always pay for the excess committed when young.

I got back home after traveling on biz late Friday. I had my portable humidor packed with smokes for the trip (and a stick or 2 for clients and friends). I had no problems getting in or out of airport security anywhere. I don’t pack a torch on the road now; long stem matches. It takes longer to heat the stick and then flame it, but sacrificing a little time for good smokes has always been worth it IMO. My PH holds 20 Churchills (packed nose to butt) or 25 with a mix. Being a prudent traveler (like Smoka) I remove the bands. They asked me in Los Angeles and Chicago what I was carrying and I showed them my laptop and PH. In LA I opened the PH and the security guys commented about how good they smelled. We talked about how to keep smokes humidified when traveling (I used to travel a lot more in years past). No problemos this trip.

I had a couple of Diplomatico #2s (torpedo) that I smoked with friends in Santa Monica, CA. I think this is a well-constructed big cigar both in ring gauge and in size. It has flavors of terra cota, moist earth and some notes of spice floating in and out. SoCal was having a heat wave with hardly any wind at the beach. Pretty soon we had a nice haze going. The sticks went well after Tex-Mex cooking (Bloofington: No lava trails for me: I took Pepcid before dinner and skipped the pepper course -- eeeekkks) and a couple of bottles of Napa Valley wine.

For dessert we torched Fonseca Caracos Coronas that are IMO delicious dessert sticks; Cuban flavors of wood and damp earth in a medium body. They burn quickly but have an elegant, even draw; goes great with Sauternes.

Since flying can be a major pain in the butt, I hate to get stranded some place without good sticks. But, Chicago is a great town for quality; fresh smokes if you do get stuck (The Old Chicago Smoke Chop comes to mind). I had dinner at the Chicago Pump Room on the Lake on one occasion. They have a great cigar bar and since I was treating we lit up Coronas Bolivar Gigantes that I brought with me. IMO These are wonderful Churchills. They look great and are silky and smooth to the touch. These Bolivars are a full bodied cigar that have a fresh spicy start and rapidly mix with chocolate, woods and leather. This stick is really what Cubans are all about and they finish with fireworks.

My wife, children and FuManChu picked me up at the airport. I was only gone 6 days and my wife probably called me 2or 3 times a day on my cell. As I’ve told Vince before, it has been my experience that French women (perhaps, European women) are very possessive. My wife is convinced I cannot live without her and if she does not keep tabs on me I will come to a bad end. So, after the usual French uproar and (I don’t think I’ll ever know, for sure, if Fu barks in French, English or Dawg) arriving at home, I spied a pitcher of martinis in the living room with Ella Fitzgerald playing on the sound system. Before you could say “hmmm, …what’s up”, my in-laws and the girls were out the door and off to dinner and the movies (school is out now). No cigars and scotch for me, that evening.

- Vince, I edited out the phone number, basically it's best to give that out through PM's, you never know who is lurking around :ek:

Cigarsmoka
 
Just to set the record straight, there were no actual lava trails that night, whatever lava trails are. :dunno: :mrgreen: :sm_angel: I had been temporarily dry with shortness of breath. When I began to salivate through my mouth, knowing that was a good thing, I headed for the bathroom, hoping the same would happen in my gut. When I began to feel pain as well as the saliva reflex happening in my gut, I thought I MIGHT throw up, but never did. The salivating, some of which came from the gut, brought the absolute worst part of it to an end, and calmed my breathing, but . . .

lava trails? After a mere single raw Scotch Bonnet, albeit hastily chewed down? NEVER!!! :sm_angel:

Vince, as usual you are making me hungry, and cian, you are not only making me hungry for cigars, but I'm also getting a hankering to meet this very personable dog of yours!!!
 
Gotta love Vince. Only the second guy I ever saw post his home address on the public internet, and now the second guy to post his home phone number. :dunno:

The other guy was a powerful attorney for a major insurance company who did it as a challenge to people who were messing with a friend of his and he. Vince does it because . . .

well, because he's Vince. :mrgreen: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :sm_angel:
 
but the home number got editted out, no big deal, you can get me at the shop most of the time , 11 am /11:30 is the time we try to get open , & we close about 5:30/6 monday to thursdat friday till about 9 , saturday & sunday , your guess is as good as mine, some times we are open, some times we are closed , Oh Yea Monday Night football we are open , the place is so laid back the customers ring there own sales on the cash regester hahahaha !
Enjoy, Vince
 
Vince,

Sometimes we have to protect people from themselves. I don't think many people realize how vulnerable information posted onto a publicly viewed and accessable forum is. Here on AMBACK, your profile and Private Messages (PM) are the only part that are secure places for posting sensitive information. There are search bots that harvest information off sites like ours so to put up anything of a personal nature is not a wise thing to do.

You notice that I do not even have my town listed --- only a geographical region (in the part of my profile that shows on the public boards). On some forums I will list my address without the @ symbol so it avoids the harvesting of address's.

Most of the members here would not do anything nefarious with your home phone number, but you never know. My feeling is that it is better to be safe than sorry.
