He has a patent on that shape? That looks like every other cigar I've seen, along with some other things...

Yeah, it comes down to the tip. It is literally a chisel shape. He was the first to make a cigar with this tip and got a patent on it. There is actually a noticeable difference in how the flavor is delivered.

Well, tomorrow I think I will watch the ALMS race in the morning. Then I am not sure what else. I might skip the concert. Go hike Bishop Peak? Maybe not. I think ride Prefumo Canyon, then go over to the hangar and fire up the soldering iron.

Yikes. Are you OK? Do you need me to bring over some resuscitative beer?

F1 of Germany is on at 9 am. Fred has pole. Schumy alongside.

We don't get Speed here. The ALMS is on at 9am on espn3 and they show part of it on espn2 at 10am. Plus I like ALMS better.

I do want Schumi to win, though. Or Vettel.

I think the only cigar shapes he's interested in are those of F1 cars from the 60s.

Sorry, you're right. I may have my channels mixed up. But it's on a traditional TV type station tomorrow morning.
