Just flew Airlink from Joberg to Harare, and back. Airlink charges $40 USD each way for “special handling” of rifle case. Charge can not be paid at time of ticketing, and so walked over to the Airlink office at both locations, showed my ticket, passport, and gun case, paid the fee, got a printed...

Sitting in Jo’burg airport after a successful elephant/buffalo safari in Zimbabwe. Found a cigar maker in Harare Zim that makes so very tasty cigars. Mosi Oa Tunya. PH gave me a nice sampling and enjoyed totally, in addition to the ones I brought myself.

I sent the Nashville CBP an email with my 4457 forms complete info. They stated it was approved and to bring copies with photos of guns to the airport. Their office is directly behind the info desk on yhe lower level with rental car kiosk, and behind terminal exit doors in the secure area. I...

I also used Jennifer at Travel Express. She is a rock star!

On Delta right now as I type. Nashville, Atlanta, Joberg, Harare. So far so good. Had to change 2-1/2 weeks ago from flying Emirates through Dubai for some reason. Living I guess. I’ll report on Delta One service and baggage handling. Bags on this flight at least.

Just tried the newish Romeo and Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua and it is fine. Their new blends run circles around their old offerings, which I despised.

Bought this .458 WM from a fellow AH member a number of years ago. Going take it’s first elephant in April.

Being from the mountains of Tennessee and also familiar with Southern KY, a dried coon pecker was often inserted into the drip line of a moonshine still to direct the alcohol into the jug. Just something to remember as you sip your shine!

In casual conversation, I am sure all of us might tend to accentuate the positives of our lives and experiences, and diminish the embarrassing and shameful. However, under oath, all is fair game and I would, and have, answered the questions honestly regardless of the light it sheds. Politicians...

I have elephant bull and two daga boys on quota. Not much plains game where we going. Strictly DG. Taking .416 Rigby and .458 WM. This is my 65 bday present to myself, so lots of cigars, and splurged to have hunt filmed. Wife will definitely know how many stogies I burn on safari.

Great cigar shop near the Convention Ctr, Casa de Montecristo. Within walking distance. They had them when I left last Wednesday for Costa Rica fishing. I’ll be at the show on Friday, then onto Casa for a smoke.

My Father Le Bijou 1922, My Father Blue, Trinidad Espiritu, Camacho “Red” Corojo, Aging Room Quattro Marstro. All good heavenly smokes! I leave in 6 weeks for 15 day ele/buff hunt in Zim and am stocking up also. Extra suitcase required!

I agree Phil. I tried one at my local cigar lounge and fell in love with it. Promptly bought two boxes there as the online site I use is sold out and they were that good!

Love it! We do what we gotta do!

You had me at desert! At going on 65, my body no longer tolerates cold. Sweating in a wife beater with a good cigar beats insulated coveralls, beanie, booties and gloves by the heater just to enjoy a few cigars.
