Had to remove a large oak and these things keep popping up. I remove them and they grow right back weighing 2-3 lbs in a few weeks. What are they?1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/mycology
Is this mold or plume? This is a hotly contested debate in the cigar community; many believe the cigar is ruined while others seek it out as desirable. Here is one of many overviews of this debate: https://stogiepress.com/tag/cigar-plume/ If anyone has an answer I figure it would be here.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/mycology
Best way to learn about cross contamination? Process some superhot peppers. One quickly learns to be extremely careful with every utensil, cutting board, washing hands, touching your face, etc.7mo ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

As the growing season comes to an end, what did you learn this year? I came away with a few lessons: 1) Bhut jolokia are very prolific and I don’t need so many plants. 2) Next year grow less plants but much larger grow bags. 3) Grow bags are far superior to rigid pots.7mo ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/HotPeppers
Found this for $2 at a swap meet. Sanded the handle then coated it with mineral oil. Sharpened it and I’m amazed at how well it performs. I love this thing!11mo ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/chefknives
Why do some prefer stones that require soaking? I got a few when starting out but now I never use them after finding Chosera, Shapton, etc.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/sharpening
I’ve worn this nearly daily for twenty years and it works perfectly. The only repair was replacing the face which was badly scratched after taking a hard fall ten years ago.5mo ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/CitizenWatches
I grew some baby bell peppers but my wife thinks they are too spicy?7mo ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/HotPeppers
Pepper vinegar is the way to go. This is 100% vinegar with a few habs, choc habs, ghost, clove of garlic and a big pinch of kosher salt. Two weeks in the fridge and it brightens up and accentuates almost anything you can eat. Simple and easy to control the heat.5mo ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/spicy
If you could only own one stone what would it be? I’d choose the Chosera 400.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/sharpening
This is my first and I found it stunning. I typically stick to my old standards and don’t venture out much, but this Tabernacle blew me away. I’m no expert but this corona hangs with any Fuente or Padron made. Reminds me of Cuban Partagas, and I’ll surely be buying a box.2yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars
I love when a cigar goes against my preconceived notions. This Tatuaje Black Corona Gorda did just that...while rich and flavorful it is not a pepper/nicotine bomb. Just had one and I see a box purchase coming my way.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars
Don’t fear the Lancero. They get a bad rap but you’ll be well rewarded to get outside your comfort zone. Let them rest for a few months at 65% rh and see what happens.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars
My ode to small gauges. Yes, I’m getting old and the world moves fast-this I can appreciate but it appears the smaller cigars are quickly disappearing. I go into my local B&M and the challenge is not not the brands, but the monstrosities that are 54+ ring gauge. Adios amigos.2yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars
Not much more can be said about the Principe, it’s a superb vitola of rich aged leaf that is med+ in body and not too high in nicotine. Construction and burn are faultless. At$10 price point it’s hard to find anything that can compete. But if there is, I’d like to hear about it.2yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars

RASCC has so much going on in such a small format it’s amazing. I find them near perfect at 2 years old. Sadly, they are getting hard to find.2yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cubancigars

RyJ #2 tubos...I know these don’t get a lot of love here, but it’s a nice light cedar/floral profile with excellent construction. Gone are the days when you could get them with 3 yrs age for about $5 each.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cubancigars

RIP bhut jolokia. My six plants got completely wiped out. I tried everything from rinsing w/ water, neem oil, lady bugs, then Sevin. Nothing worked, hoping for better luck next year.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/HotPeppers
Thoughts on Papas Fritas... tried my first one tonight and was impressed with so much of it, but the burn caused me concern. It smoked unnaturally perfect and burned like a cigarette. I can’t buy that nothing was added to the leaf. Just me?2yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars

Swiss knife vs Zino vs Xikar. Which cutter is best? It’s not even close- the Swiss Army knife is easily superior. It’s the low angle of the blades (think Japanese yanagi). Save your money and thank me later.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars

Want to understand your humidor’s rh level? There are endless questions about how to store cigars, but the major factor of ambient humidity is often left out. I put a Govee on my shelf for a month and this is what I found. This is why cheap wood humidors are such a pain even with Boveda.1yr ⋅ Partagas2112 ⋅ r/cigars
