I first went public in the 1980s, and with the exception of a few years of taking a break, have not really stopped. More recently (relative to twenty years ago) in 2006 I was featured in the Ontario HIV Treatment Network's documentary "Positive Voices" filmed during the 2006 International AIDS Conference.The very same conference where I organized an action against the Conservative government for our Prime Minister not showing up, which is now known as "The Pillow Case Project" approximatel 1000 message-stenciled pillow cases were held up at the moment the government representative stood up causing an international photography sensation.During these years I was on the board of Canada's treatment advocacy NGO, the Canadian Treatment Action Council, and have been privileged to have worked with great activists internationally such as Africa.Life is an evolution, and today I am now the owner/publisher of PositiveLite.com, an online project to bring people (and our allies) living with HIV together in Canada and abroad. The vision is to bring the world together with a uniquely Canadian perspective.I first went public in the 1980s, and with the exception of a few years of taking a break, have not really stopped.More recently (relative to twenty years ago) in 2006 I was featured in the Ontario HIV Treatment Network's documentary "Positive Voices" filmed during the 2006 International AIDS Conference.

Despite a passionate childhood love affair with iceberg lettuce and anything sugary, Matt Levine has worked the last 27 years in the natural and organic foods business.Born in Stamford, Connecticut, he lived in some of the grungier areas of New York City before moving to the Elysian Fields of San Francisco in 1989.
Despite graduating from college with honors, he drove a taxicab in Manhattan, a decision he credits with his father's refusal to co-sign a loan to open a natural foods store in his hometown.Matt tries to make those who would listen believe that said store of his dreams would have sold to Whole Foods for millions of dollars.Regardless, his love for his father remained and he is only occasionally bitter, mainly for dramatic effect.
He currently works as a freelance research analyst and publishes the much–loved but under–visited Natural Business News. In his free time, he mentors at-risk youth and follows his beloved New York Mets and New York Giants with more passion than is advisable.
Michael was born in California in 1970 – actually, hatched from an egg – and spent the next twenty years of his life hopping across the globe, wherever America saw fit to station troops for some inexplicable reason. In what was likely a fit of absent-mindedness, he acquired a Masters in Communications, Political Science and Comparative Literature from the University of Mainz in West Germany, probably because it was roughly equidistant to the clubs of Paris, London and Berlin. Along the way, he modeled, tended bar, wrote copy, ran an ad agency, got bored, and moved to New York City. He remains there today, making a living as a wordsmith and creative brain, all the while making sure nobody ever sees that portrait in the attic.
Oh, and before he partnered up, he probably slept with your boyfriend.
Michael Yoder currently works with POZitively Connected, a project of Vancouver Island Persons Living with HIV AIDS Society. Positively Connected provides social connection and support to gay/bi men living with HIV. He has previously sat on the board of directors of the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS), and has been involved in the HIV/AIDS movement since 1987. He worked with CAS in development and writing of the One Foot Forward Series of self training modules for people living with HIV and other work. Michael is always available for writing work, workshop development/presentation as well as public speaking.
Michael's social media connections are @michaely1961 on twitter and on Facbook here.
Advocate by day, server & entertainer extraordinaire by night, Olivia likes to have her hands full. Now the Women's Community Development Coordinator at ARCH- HIV/AIDS Resources & Community Health she works largely to educate service providers to address women's HIV risk.
Despite having a degree in English and a love of writing (which doesn't mean that she is necessarily good at it), this is Olivia's first blogging experience (so please be gentle). When she's not blogging or working, she'll likely be eating chocolate, belly dancing, teaching, performing, or enjoying a glass of wine (or beer or gin…). She's a feminist, sociologist, and "empathist". Expect to read sarcastic rants, explorations of questions that plague her mind, particularly pertaining to sex, and tales from the field of HIV/AIDS.

I was born and brought up in sunny Barbados. I come from a very loving family whom I still to this day adore with all my heart. I'm a very happy go lucky kinda guy. I'm pretty well traveled. I've lived and studied in different parts of the world which I think has made me understand the human race just a tad bit better. My friends are fast from traveling but my heart will always remain where they are. In the Caribbean.
At 15 I received a Scholarship for psychology where I lived in Cuba for about a Year. Moved to England and studied and lived for six years. Lived in Panama for two years and am now back in England, where I've managed to hold a column in OutNorthWest Magazine. I've been interviewed by BBC Out North West Tonight, been on radio with Mike Robinson, been a panelist on HIV matters aired on Gaydio, also in front of a live audience on HIV matters, and was interviewed for Worlds Aids Day for a video.

Living in the vibrant city of Toronto sets the tone for what Philip writes and the adventure it takes. It may take the form of a poem or a play – though interviewing is Philip's favourite way to express himself through his writing. As with many people, Philip passionately and without hesitation reached out and walked toward helping his friends/peers who were all fighting, falling and dying during the early years of AIDS. It is in their memory – and in their crushing loss – that Philip continues to light his torch to help today's PHA see a little better, believe they can live without fear, and to breath some of his passion to find their strength to be pro-active in today's world. Philip's creativity and ability to inspire reflects through growth in the words he writes so a piece comes to life in it's own time.

Philip Minaker has been a regular contributor to PositiveLite.com since its inception in 2009. Many of his pieces on fashion, style and pop culture for PositiveLite.com have also been reposted on numerous sites around the world.
Being diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1983 (when it was literally a death sentence) he initially chose to keep it to himself and continued to forge an extensive career in the fashion industry. It was not until the death of his grandmother (the love of his life), also in 2009, that he became comfortable with the idea of coming out regarding his HIV status. "For me, it was yet another ordeal I had to learn to live with while I continued to hope for better days ahead. Like other unpredictable and disturbing events that had occurred in my life, I have done my best to not let it fully define or consume me. I have however, recognized it as a part of who I am and made the necessary concessions over the years in my efforts to live a fulfilling, productive and happy life." Philip has now been "undetectable" for nearly ten years.
He officially moved from Winnipeg to Toronto in 1990 and continues to make a life for himself, which is an ongoing work in progress. Recently, Philip chose to combine his professional and personal passions into the pet industry by forging a unique ambience and perspective in managing and buying for an independently owned full service pet shop, naturally, right in the heart of downtown Toronto. He is having the time of his life!
Poppy Morgan, an HIV negative woman, created a blog (HIVNegativeSpouses.blogspot.com) in 2008 to document her journey of living life with an HIV positive spouse. Her blog chronicles part of the process of finding a safe and affordable method of conception. In 2011, Poppy began taking Truvada or PrEP, as a means to naturally conceive a child with her HIV positive husband. After 17 cycles of taking PrEP, Poppy finally gave birth to a healthy, HIV negative baby girl in April 2013. She is considering taking Truvada again to bring an additional bundle of joy to their family.

I am a 34 year old HIV positive single gay man living in New York City. Any one of those would be daunting on their own, but adding them all together makes for quite an interesting dating life. I send my trials and tribulations out through the web not only to help spark a dialog that I think we are desperately missing but to help with the stigmas about being HIV positive that are put on us from other people and more importantly the stigmas that we put on ourselves. Also it gives me an outlet to rant about my dating woes.
You can also find me on my own website/blog www.positivelydating.wordpress.com/

Birch continues to shed the "ugly frog skin of heteronormativity," (Harry Hay, co-founder Mattachine Society and Radical Faeries) by coming out of the closet not only as cisgender gay person but by 'coming out' of trauma laden systems of oppression. From theatre princess to sacred drama queen (i.e. Reclaiming witch and Radical Faery), ~birch will soon don the costume of a PhD student in social science, researching queer/trans population health at the University of Victoria in the Social Dimensions of Health Program. His husband CrowDog continues to love and tolerate his antics while looking after the chickens and vegetables and making wood-fired country bread on Saltspring Island, BC.

My name is Samantha and I live in British Columbia, Canada. I am an ordinary woman trying my best on the dating scene as a woman living with HIV to connect with men for intimacy, a relationship and the kind of satisfying sex I used to have before my diagnosis.
During the day I teach at a local school and am involved in HIV prevention work for special occasions and during our spring break week where we set up community kiosks for students. I speak with students about HIV facts, and provide the latest information relating to HIV research to demystify HIV while attempting to eliminate fear and stigma.
My stories posted on PositiveLite.com will provide a better understanding of the complexities of disclosure and how they are interconnected and impact aspects of our lives while working to normalize HIV and experience more positive disclosures. Although I write from the perspective of a woman, and will explain through story telling how disclosure complexities are somewhat different for women, I do recognize some common themes for all people living with HIV.
I look forward to sharing my stories, connecting with people living with HIV who are having similar experiences, integrating disclosure into daily conversations within all communities and learning from others through their feedback and comments
Despite his belief that you're only as sick as your secrets, T.C. Pomeroy is in fact a pseudonym for a San Francisco based author. Pomeroy, who has been HIV positive for more than 25 years, developed his sexual neuroses prior to the AIDS years. His lack of adolescent sexual experimentation in his teen years in the 1970's along with the fact that the older men he thought he was becoming friends with disregard his pleasure while fucking him with gleeful abandon. Despite being naïve and innocent Pomeroy understands that he too played a role in his awkward sexual development, but also sometimes wonders if the guys who fucked him ever realized how callous they were.
I'm a Londoner in my late 20s, gay and single. I was diagnosed in 2010 and started blogging & tweeting (livinghiv.com /@livinghiv) about it in 2013. I hoped to show that, in spite of the ups and downs, it's not all doom and gloom living with HIV, a view shared by many.
I'm a poz guy, just starting my tenth year living with HIV. I've been blogging here at PositiveLite.com since March 20th, 2011. I volunteer at two AIDS Service Organizations in my area, ACG (AIDS Committee of Guelph/Wellington) and ACCKWA (AIDS Committee of Cambridge Kitchener Waterloo and Area). I've also been blogging for ACG since November 2010. I am a self-taught social media junkie doing facebook and twitter. I'm a great retweeter. I was recently hired by the OHTN (Ontario HIV Treatment Network) as a Peer Research Assistant. In my spare time I am a hobby photographer; some of my photos show up in my blog.
Now that you've read a bit about me, check out our other great bloggers and follow along. We are THE site that is by and for people living with HIV

Superior Homecare Provision
Healthcare professionals at Brookdale Senior Living can now use their GALAXY Tabs to access medical records and other valuable information, allowing them to provide a superior quality of care to their vulnerable patients.
- Country United States
- Industry Healthcare
- Customer Profile
Brookdale Senior Living
A home care service leader and the biggest senior service provider in the United States
- Technology Homecare Homebase's™ PointCare Manager SOTI® MobiControl
- Device
GALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung Stratosphere™ GALAXY Phone
Business Solution
- Brookdale Senior Living is a leading provider of homecare and the nation's largest provider of Assisted Living Facilities, Independent Living, Memory Care and Continuous Care Retirement Centres (CCRC). The healthcare service giant has introduced Samsung GALAXY Tabs in an attempt to improve the efficiency of its employees across the country. With the help of an integrated mobile Medicare solution, more than 3,000 nurses and medical staff who are responsible for outpatients can access updated medical records in real time, which is a smart way to ensure business efficiency.
- Vast amount of medical data Brookdale Senior Living attracts many customers throughout the nation and has taken a lot of time and human resources to update the huge flood of medical records. This problem was due to the inconvenient methods available to medical staff for accessing medical records.
- The need for remote business support The need for a system that could process information in real time was raised. Basically, a new system was needed for medical staff who were responsible for outpatients because they frequently visited salutarium facilities and houses, rather than being in the office. As the healthcare business is supposed to respond to customers quickly, a remote business solution was required as a matter of urgency.
- GALAXY Tab 10.1 / Samsung Stratosphere™ GALAXY Phone supported 300 Samsung GALAXY Tabs and 2,500 Stratosphere™ GALAXY phones were provided to nurses and staff responsible for outpatients, to support their remote work.
- Integrated mobile Medicare solution Homecare Homebase™'s PointCare Manager is a home healthcare solution preloaded onto the Samsung GALAXY Tab. With the Samsung mobile EMR, users can access and monitor medical records in real time.
- Remote security solution Based on more than a decade of specialisation, SOTI® created MobiControl, an integrated solution consisting of an MDM Helpdesk, and Security and Tracking functions. The performance of the solution has been proven several times over, for the remote control and mobile device management fields. When an employee accesses and updates the medical records outside the office, MobiControl ensures powerful security. According to the SAFE™ program, Brookdale Senior Living has provided 300 Samsung GALAXY Tabs with integrated Homecare Homebase™ PointCare Manager and SOTI® MobiControl for its medical staff. With the mobility of the GALAXY Tab reinforced by the excellent Medicare solution, clinical staff in Brookdale Senior Living can access and safely update medical records from remote medicare sites in real time.
- Improved quality of medical service Real-time updates of medical records allow medical staff to respond to their patients instantly and accurately using information shared between medical staff and clinicians.
- Reinforced security of personal information Brookdale Senior Living has installed a security device in the mobile device to effectively manage the new mobile application while complying with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements.
- Increased productivity of medical staff By introducing both the Samsung GALAXY Tab and the Samsung Stratosphere™ GALAXY Phone, medical staff have improved their business mobility by being able to access medical records on the go. The conventional task of recording and updating patient data manually on paper has been removed, which is a great help in reducing costs and increasing business efficiency. Real-time communications and schedule management are also key factors in improving work efficiency.
- Increased patient satisfaction Patients can now get on-time medical treatment of the same high quality as at the medical facility, without actually having to visit it. In particular, they can check their medical records with Samsung's mobile EMR, which increases the satisfaction of the patients at Brookdale Senior Living.
- Enhanced corporate brand image The new innovative mobile Medicare solution has been shown to improve the business environment for medical staff, and to provide advanced medical services for patients, all of which ensures the brand image.
"Samsung has a niche in the market for smartphones and tablets."
- Dan Crangle, Director of Telecommunications, Brookdale Senior Living

The Espressione Café Roma Deluxe brings a twist to traditional semi-automatic brewing, with a built-in coffee grinder to make it a 1-stop coffee station. The Roma Deluxe does not look like a typical semi-automatic, with the group head and steam wand located on the left side of the machine, and the grinder and control panel on the right. Its unique design means more room for a large drip tray so that you can grind, measure, tamp and brew with less clean up. It has a large 50 oz...

quote:Should it be mandated that female sports pay the same as male sports?
quote:I know in tennis the reason that the men play five sets and the women only play three in the grand slams is so they can justify paying the men more money. It's the only way they could avoid a fight with the women.
quote:Baylor wins because they have someone who can dunk semi consistently. Britney Griner would be a small forward or a PF. She would get worked by just about everyone in the NBA. Most college teams too.
quote:I just can't imagine a woman playing left tackle with any sort of success
quote:Women can do anything men can do and do it just as well. Now, open the door for me, respect my 'time of the month,' and buy me stuff when I'm crying for no reason."
quote:What about the NBA? "We need a NBA that looks more like America." Should we set racial quotas there? Isn't that just fair?
quote:but certainly women tennis players can legitimately claim that they're providing equal enetertainment value to the men, and therefore deserve equal pay.
quote:how often do women's finals get higher rating than men's finals?
quote: I support inclusion of women in combat forces as long as they meet the same (high) qualification standards that men have to meet. Hence, when we are talking about women serving in combat operations, we are talking about meeting a lower-threshold
quote:There aren't any marketable American players on the men's side.

I loved the shirt right when I got it. The color is much more vivid than the picture which is very nice. My main concern was that the iron on words were going to stretch or fade, but its nice and durable. Such a fun shirt. Love the show :)

Undescended testicle repair is surgery to correct testicles that have not dropped down into the correct position in the scrotum.
As a baby grows in the womb, the testicles develop in the infant's abdomen. They drop down into the scrotum during the last months before birth.
In some newborns, however, one or both testicles do not move down into the correct position. About half of these cases will descend within the first year of life without medical treatment.
Undescended testicle repair surgery is recommended for patients whose testicles do not descend on their own.
The surgery is done while the child is asleep (unconscious) and pain-free under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a cut in the groin, where most undescended testes are located.
After finding the cord that holds the testis in the scrotum, the surgeon unties it from the tissue around it so that the cord's full length is used. A small cut is made in the scrotum, and a pouch is created. The testicle is carefully pulled down into the scrotum, and stitched into place. Stitches are used to close any surgical cuts.
In some cases, the procedure can be done laparoscopically, which involves smaller surgical cuts.
Orchidopexy; Inguinal orchidopexy; Orchiopexy; Repair of undescended testicle; Cryptorchidism repair
This surgery is recommended for infants older than 1 year whose testicles have not descended into the scrotum (cryptorchidism ).
An undescended testicle is different from a "retractile" testicle, in which the testicle drops into the scrotum and then pulls back. Retractile testicles do not need surgery.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Undescended testicle repair is successful in most cases. A small percentage of men will have fertility problems. (See: Infertility )
Men who have had undescended testicles should do monthly self-exams throughout their lives for possible tumors. People with undescended testes have higher rates of testicular cancer than those with normal testicle development, even if they have a fully descended testicle on the other side.
The surgery may be done on an outpatient basis. Bed rest is recommended for the first 2 - 3 days. Avoid strenuous activity, including bicycling, for at least 1 month to allow the testicle to heal in its new position.

POSTED: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 11:00pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 11:14pm
WASHINGTON, D.c. (CNN) — As important as the Catholic vote is in the 2012 election, a new survey finds that the group is far from monolithic and is not largely focused on the issues that get a lot of attention from church leaders -- abortion and gay marriage.
Among the Catholics surveyed by the Public Religious Research Institute, 60% believe the Church should focus more on social justice issues and their obligation to the poor, even if it means focusing less on social issues like abortion and right to life.
Thirty-one percent say the opposite -- they favor social issues over social justice issues.
Even among Catholics who attend church weekly or more, 51% say the Church should stress social justice issues over strictly social issues. Thirty-six percent said the opposite.
"The survey confirms that there is no such thing as 'the Catholic vote'," said Robert P. Jones, CEO of the polling group. "There are a number of critical divisions among Catholics, including an important divide between 'social justice' and 'right to life' Catholics."
When looking at the 2012 elections, these Catholic divisions continue to be apparent.
Among those Catholics who support more "social justice" teachings, 60% support Obama while 37% support Romney. Likewise, 67% of "right to life" Catholics support Romney while 27% support the president.
Overall, Catholics slightly favor Obama over Romney, with 49% supporting the president and 47% supporting the Republican challenger.
Catholics top issues are also largely in line with Americans as a whole: 61% of Americans say the economy is the top issue in this election, followed by health care, national security, abortion and immigration. "There are few differences by religious affiliation in terms of voters' issue priorities," reads the report.
Catholicism has been a topic of political conversation lately, primarily because both Vice President Joe Biden and GOP vice presidential contender Rep. Paul Ryan are members of the faith. Two weeks ago, Biden and Ryan debated on the national stage -- the first time two Catholics had ever debated each other in a presidential election.
The divide between social justice Catholics and social issues Catholics became further evident during the debate, when moderator Martha Raddatz asked a question about how their shared faith plays into the candidates different views on abortion.
"I don't see how a person can separate their public life from their private life or from their faith. Our faith informs us in everything we do," Ryan said. "I believe that life begins at conception."
"I've been a practicing Catholic my whole life. And it has particularly informed my social doctrine. Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who can't take care of themselves, people who need help," Biden said. "Life begins at conception. That's the church's judgment. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews."
But even as two Catholics vie for political power on the national stage, the number of Catholics, the survey finds, is shrinking.
Although nearly one-third of Americans were raised Catholic, 22% currently identify with Catholicism. As has been shown in previous surveys, the number of former Catholics remains substantial at 12%.
The religiously unaffiliated seems to be the benefactors of this decline -- their numbers continue to rise, especially compared to the small number of Americans who were raised religiously unaffiliated. Seven percent of survey respondents were raised in an unaffiliated family, but today 19% identify as religiously unaffiliated.
Their reasons for the religious departures are varied.
Twenty-three percent cited rejection of their childhood faith, 16% cited overall antipathy toward organized religion and 11% cited negative personal experiences with religion as their reasons for leaving.
Five percent of overall respondents cited the Catholic Church's child sex abuse scandal -- the entirety of that group was made up of former Catholics.
The PRRI survey was done in partnership with the Brookings Institution and was made up of 3,003 adults, contacted by phone, in the United States. The survey was conducted between September 13, 2012 and September 30, 2012 and has a margin of error of 2%.

Books and baseball
Literary works Jane Eyre, The Outsiders and Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief are not the usual topics discussed at the Baseball Hall of Fame. But on Tuesday, these titles served as answers in a Battle of the Books competition at the Museum.
Students in grades 6-12 from Cooperstown Central School, Dolgeville Central School and Fort Plain Central School – all located near the Hall of Fame – gathered in the Museum's Grandstand Theater to buzz in and try to take home a trophy for their school. More than 60 kids participated in the field trip and took part in the program, which encourages reading and tests their knowledge.
"Mary Van Patten, the librarian at Fort Plain, and I both heard about this type of competition at a conference for librarians and decided to try it," said Michelle Hitchcock, librarian at Cooperstown Middle and High School. "We started it with middle schools, but we had a strong group that entered ninth grade and didn't want it to end. So we brought it to the high school."
About three years ago, Cindy Staley, librarian at Dolgeville, brought the program to her school and joined them in the battle. High school participants read 16 books to prepare for the competition and middle school kids read 20.
The students began the day playing an ice-breaker game about the books they read to get to know each other and share their love for reading. The field trip is fun and friendly and is more about education than it is about winning.
"Students at Cooperstown have done local battles before today and I am sure the other schools have too," said Hitchcock. "There is even a national competition."
Each school competed in groups of four at each level. Questions can be about characters or the plot of the story, or simply a quote from the book. Students must not only answer the question, but also correctly name the title and author of the work to receive points.
After a close competition, students from Cooperstown took home both the middle school and high school prizes. The group then ate lunch and got ready for a guided tour of the Museum before heading back to their respective schools.
The Education Department at the Baseball Hall of Fame hosts field trips, participates in videoconferences and offers curriculum for teachers to use at their school for students in grades K-12. For more information, visit baseballhall.org/education

La Gloria Cubana (DR) Corona Gorda Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 12 reviews
"Creamy and spicy!"
I've smoked cigars on and off for years, knowing that working men can hardly afford quality, especially in good cigars. But when I tried Cubana I would light one with one if I could! I'd love to work there & roll 'em & smoke 'em all day!
Greg in Hattiesburg, Mississippi January 30, 2012
"Not at all worth the money!!"
One of the worst cigars that I've tried. Major disappointment: burned very hot, poor construction, wrappers splitting and falling off, aroma like hot roofing tar, no distinguishable flavor, ugly aftertaste. Overall, not satisfied at all.
Casarez in Inglewood, CA December 23, 2009
"Awesome Cigar"
Amazing cigar, I just bought my third box and it is by far the best cigar I've smoked. I've purchased $16 Cohiba black cigars and they were not nearly as good.
Jason in Columbus February 15, 2009
"Not So Much"
Purchased the Wavells and can't get enough of them, GREAT Product. Wanted to try the Corona Gorda and bought a box. Out of the 5 I've smoked, 3 have had wrappers split after I lit them. The draw was weak and difficult to keep going. Wish I could get a refund. Love the Wavells, the Gordas...not so much!
Terry in Florida April 28, 2008
I had one of these after dinner on a Saturday night. I had smoked a Sancho Panza Double Maduro earlier in the day. To be perfectly honest, I would have a very hard time telling the difference between the two as far as flavor goes. It was not a bad cigar by any means; it's just that it was surprisingly similar in taste to the lower priced cigar.
Brian in Kentucky January 6, 2008
"Not Bad..."
The Corona Gorda is a relatively medium bodied cigar that has a very peppery, almost Jalopeno, character with the initial light-up that mellows out quickly to a floral foundation laced with flavors of cream, leather, coffe earth and spice. It has a very loose draw with mouthfuls of smoke and hints of orange peel. The finish was short and clean with hints of cream, leather and earth. A nice mellow smoke leaving a bit of a zing and an intoxicating after effect that was most displeasing. I prefer something with a tighter draw and a little more strength and body and doesn't leave me feeling loaded, but this isn't bad.
Brian White in Vallejo, CA July 13, 2005
Sheer enjoyment, I just love these! Perfect fit in the hand, smooth warm shiney wrapper, and it really smells like a winner. Toast up the foot, mmm boy, smooth with a nice dash of spice. Burns razor sharp right down to the nub even before you realize your fingers are getting blistered! If you haven't tried one yet, DO IT! You won't be sorry

"Great Cigar! Even better Price!"
The cigar looked very nice and gave the appearance that the construction was
good to excellent. They appeared to already have a bit of age on them (at
least based on what other people use to judge by) the cellophane was
slightly yellow. I brought them home and threw them in my humidor to age
them a bit. Well, I got impatient and since I had never had one decided
tonight was the perfect opportunity, given that my wife is out of town on a
business trip in Chicago.
I accompanied the cigar with a Cafe Latte from a local coffe shop, nothing
special, but it was the first time I have drank coffe with a cigar and I
have to say I REALLY enjoyed it. Definately will have to try that more
often. Anyway, When I removed the band I noticed a small flaw in the
construction, a hole. Oh well, I proceeded to cut the cap which was very
nicely done. It cut smoother than most others. Could be that I just
sharpened my cutter! This cigar was easy to light and took off like a
champ. At first I was using my finger to cover the hole, which turned out
to be quite distracting. So, I took a small piece of the cap and covered it
with that. BTW, anyone know the recipe for vegetable glue? I used spit and
it worked OK but took several rewettings throughout the smoke. Not
something I would cherish doing in public! The ash was firm and white for
the first half of the cigar darkening during the second half. The
construction turned out to be pretty good. I noticed the binding and filler
were rolled slightly tighter to one side of the cigar causing some uneveness
for the first half but nothing major. This cleared up nicely during the
last half of the cigar. The flavor was medium the first half being milder,
as most of my experiences have been, with the last half showing much more
flavor. I smoked this guy to the last inch and enjoyed it very much. It
was a quick cigar for it's size, about an hour and 15 minutes. I tend to be
able to smoke a roBUSTo for an hour so, this seemed a little quick.
All in all a very enjoyable smoke even with the minor construction issues.
I am hoping the second one is made a little better. I will let it age a
while. For ~$3 a stick this will definately be a regular in my humidor.
Chris Gripp in Foothill Ranch, CA April 29, 2001
"Can't go wrong"
The La Gloria brand of cigars smoke anywhere from incredable in taste,construction,and burn to never worse than damn good. Never hesitate to recommend them to strangers.
Dennis Fela in Pittsburgh January 3, 2001
