I've had a flickr account forever, but posting a pic here from a mobile device is damn near impossible. I just signed up for photobucket to post my last pic, but I have no idea how long the link will stay active. I have no experience with any other hosting services.

Photobucket used to work great. The last update to the app made it unusable, it wont let me upload shit. Still works for pics already stored in the cloud. Using the website from my pc is a nightmare with all the ads. The update that screwed the app was back in October, there's at least a backup option now but it doesnt actually back up the picture when you select it. Hope it gets fixed. Until then i have to upload my pics through the pc.

Great score btw. Lost city is still on my list of must try, though my list is bigger than my wallet.

I use Dropbox for all of my photos. I use the public link from the desktop web view and it works all of the time.

Dropbox from a browser works fine, but the mobile app does not.

Agreed, sort of a cluster in UI and usability between the 2, App vs. Web interface. I cannot figure out how they get 2 different URLs for the same file?

Can't smoke at work so the next best thing is this candle I found at a store. Tobacco and Vanilla. Smells just like a nice smooth cigar I need to go back and get another

Very nice, thats a tasty stick. They get more mellow with age, not as sharp a pepper kick, i still enjoy some of mine that are 2+years old.

Wow. Those are some FANTASTIC hauls.

I'm drooling over here. Several of those are on the short list.

I've promised myself to not spend anything on cigars until I get through tax season.. You guys are making that very difficult!!

Went with an Ashton Symmetry for the balmy 28* weather. It's warming up!!

How'd you like it? I really enjoy Ashtons (one of my father's favorite cigar is the VSG and I think it may have been the first very nice stick I smoked). The Symmetry has caught my eye numerous times, but I've never pulled the trigger..

Had some free time this afternoon and needed to burn some boxes. Figured, what the heck!

Grabbed this RP Edge that I picked up over the holiday sales. Pre-light draw I picked up flavors of fig and some spice. The draw was a little tight so I tried to loosen it up using my module tool, but it just wouldn't let go. Very flavorful but would never open up to the point I needed it to.

It has a very good burn, even burn. I know they are rated as a more full flavor cigar, but I don't find it to be as full flavored as others. It was what I would call a "just a good cigar." It wasn't anywhere near bad, but it also didn't knock my socks off. It's something I would pick up to have another if I saw it on a shelf, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find one or order one online... if that makes sense.

Bummer. I keep eying that and the ESG up, but they aren't sold around here... I'll have to put it on a back burner in my mind. Thanks for the feedback!
