canadianbeaver Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Baking macaroons for 2 seder dinners and waiting for a well deserved cjigar break. Happy Passover!!
Orion21 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 From me to all of you BTW, I am half Jewish from my mother's side. Mazel Tov!
Squarehead Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Happy Passover to you too. BTW Aaron if your mother was Jewish than are you. My wife and I will be at our DiL's parents house tonight for Passover Dinner.
Orion21 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 According to Judaism, you are 100% Jewish then...Chag Sameach! (happy holiday!) I have always been told this by all of my Jewish relatives, friends and the entire population of our Brooklyn office Chag Sameach to you.
Random Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Happy Passover to all our fellow Jewish BOTLs! Chag Sameach!
canadianbeaver Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 And here it is... My mighty tower of Passover baking Power!!!! Thank you for the Passover wishes. Now. A beautiful cigar reward on my sunny front porch!
bassman Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Happy Passover to all. Want to have an Expedition Stout before sundown.
dangolf18 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Chag Sameach. Cooked two 6 pounds briskets for the family. Actually I basically cooked everything (except of course the gefilte fish). My matzo balls came out so well (you really have to whip the egg whites). Probably going to be smoking a couple cigars later tonight after the fam has left. Will try another RA Super Ramon and am '09 Boli GM that I've been dying to smoke.
De918 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Happy Pesach to all.I'm not going to let Pesach ruin my cigar smoking.
MC4 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Happy Pesach to all.I'm not going to let Pesach ruin my cigar smoking. Why, aren't cigars kosher for passover?
De918 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I believe it's the sapp that's used on the cigars(oderless gum).
MC4 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 After doing some reading and search, my understanding is that it's not the sapp, but some cigars use of bethune to treat tobacco. Bethune: A mixture of herbs, wine, rum or a combination of such materials used to treat certain types of tobacco. It’s a process some cigarmakers do, but few discuss. Royal Jamaica was famous for using a bethune on its tobacco. you guys are too quick. you beat me to the info ;-)
Drguano Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I only smoke Piramides during Pesach. Hag Sameach to all especially Shlomo who should tell the Chauffeur to keep the motor running until Rosh Hashanna!
canadianbeaver Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Great post Shlomo! That guy Kinky Freedman also has a cigar called Texas Jewboys. And just to cover all the bases: http://www.evangersdogfood.com/?p=kosher
Squarehead Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Well technically your supposed to burn everything in your possession that is not kosher for Passover, or sell it to non-Jewish friends. I think I'll burn my cigars instead of selling. I should be done in about 40 years...same amount of time the Jews spent in the desert after escaping slavery in Egypt. LOL
LordAnubis Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Hey folks, happy festivities to you all. Me being a muslim, and way too lazy to use google, can someone please explain what passover is all about? Just curious. Festivities are quite interesting, last week an Iranian friend of mine celebrated New Year, it's quite interesting what they do, they had i think a total of 7 items on their table all starting with "S" as per tradition. Cheers Mus
Orion21 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Traditionally Passover is "celebrated" in remembrance of the final sign of God's power that freed the Jews from bondage. Long story short, the Angel of Death came down from Heaven and if your door was not marked by lambs blood it would kill the first born child (son?) of each family. Since the Jews marked their doors, but the Egyptians did not, the Angel of Death spared the Jews and and slayed the sons of Egypt. Having lost his own son, the Pharaoh let the Jews leave. Being a Christian that is how it is told in the Bible, but I believe it is almost identical to the Torah.
Bahnofstrasse Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Christian relevance as well as Christ celebrated the Seder Passover with his Disciples at the Last Supper. This is commemorated on Holy Thursday before Good Friday. Happy Passover to our Jewish BOTL!
nikesupremedunk Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Not happy about passover. Drove to 2 different B&M's only to find out they were closed. One of them's not even Jewish!! Just kidding (not about the closed part though)...happy passover to those that celebrate!
