Cigars after dental work?
I’m a bit miffed. After several years of dental neglect (re: not going for regular check-ups), my dentist told me I had three cavities. Yesterday, he put fillings in and my mouth is still sore this morning.
I really, really wanted a cigar last night. Anyone have an idea of when I can light up again? […]

Tidbit of the Day: Chicago Bears = garbage
How bad did the Chicago Bears look yesterday?
Well, 4-6 isn’t too bad. But this should make Bears fans feel warm and fuzzy inside. (Or cold and bitter.) Anyway, who wouldn’t want the Punky QB back in the blue-and-orange? At least for those shades…

Chicago 2016 Update: Gray Line, eh?
Check out this piece by Chicago Reader reporter Ben Joravsky about Mike Payne, whose “Gray Line” proposal for the CTA actually doesn’t seem like a bad idea. (Scroll down the page to see the story, titled “Man With a Plan.”

Tidbit of the Day: McDonald’s to offer premium coffee
According to a report in today’s Chicago Tribune, McDonald’s Corp. is set to roll out a line of premium coffee beverages — cappuccino and espresso, really — in the approximately 13,700 restaurants in the U.S.
Word is the drinks won’t be as customizable as those offered by Starbucks, but it’s an interesting step nonetheless, I think.

Chicago 2016 Update: Journal-Sentinel editorial
Here’s a positive editorial from yesterday’s Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel , in which the editors essentially say the Chicago 2016 bid represents Midwest values. (Maybe Milwaukee can see some tourism bucks from the games, if they come here.)

Cigar of the Week: Montecristo White Rothchilde
Booyah. The Montecristo White Rothchilde
When I’m back home in New York, I make it a point to stop by at my old cigar shop, JR Cigar on 5th Avenue. They always have great deals and, well, who wouldn’t want to hang out in a cool, comfortable humidor…err, store?
Now, usually I like a nice, cheap stick. […]
