I enjoy trying new cigars out, but always seem to migrate back to Montecristo or H. Upmann. Thanks to this wonderful stick, however, I think I have found a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196873719428 Thu, 22 Sep 2005 19:53:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196873719428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194923433604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Vikesfan80 - As a true lover of cigars, and somewhat of an aficionado, I am always searching for an "everyday cigar". A cigar that explodes on the palate, and doesn't leave the aftertaste of puffing on a Pittsburgh steel plant's exhaust stack. There are many... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194923433604 Thu, 1 Sep 2005 04:48:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194923433604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179295194756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Vikesfan80 - Being the "sporting" type, I have been looking for years for a way to take my grilling on the road. Somehow, the thought of flopping the full-sized bar-b-cue in the back of the car and cruising to the park was not in the cards. There was always the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179295194756 Thu, 7 Apr 2005 18:42:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179295194756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178519182980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Vikesfan80 - When shopping for a big screen TV, I quickly realized that the choices were wide-ranging, and wide-priced! I have a fairly small living room, so I wanted something that would look good, but not so big that I would need to sit in the back yard to view... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178519182980 Thu, 31 Mar 2005 20:16:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178519182980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_166358453892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Vikesfan80 - In the infinite world of adventure parks, theme-parks, parks with roller coasters, fairs, and others jockeying for a position in the recreation and leisure industry, there is one name that stands out above the rest.

The over-all performance of the player is outstanding. The simple fact that you can store a boat-load of titles is reason enough to own the player, but the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~15082753668 Tue, 27 Mar 2001 01:57:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_15082753668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_15033339524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Vikesfan80 - Recently, I was given the opportunity to visit Universal Studios, thanks to my wife, and the company she works for.

As a younger person (29 to be exact), I wasn`t sure what to expect, having never been on a cruise. A group of friends joined my wife and I for this trip, and all except 2 had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~14995197572 Mon, 26 Mar 2001 17:56:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_14995197572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/sprt-review-68E4-6C87261-39FE6512-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Vikesfan80 - For the residents of the Valley of the Sun, there can't be a better way to spend a sunny 110 degree autumn afternoon than catching a Chicago...er....St. Louis...I...I mean Arizona Cardinals game in Sun Devil Stadium.

Upmann as one of the best. The Petit Corona is a terrific cigar, constructed by folks who know a thing or two about great cigars. The cigar has a light, mild flavor that complements any... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~824585 Tue, 31 Oct 2000 03:15:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-7718-6C556CB-39FE5D1E-prod1?linkin_id=8003929
