Awwww thanks so much everyone. Here he is... Frederik James Festa 7lbs Freddie's sisters visited yesterday. You can clearly see who will be the guardian angel and who will be the little devil whispering in each ear as he grows up. Lord help him.

Dug deep into the humi for a JL 1 box code ALV abr03 . Such a perfect late afternoon in the waning days of summer. Cicadas still buzzing, birds chirping. 76 degrees . These are the days I wait for ! Cigar is aged to perfection. First 3rd was toasted tobacco and deep mexican carmel. Very enjoyable. 2nd 3rd the carmel tones were joined by a bit of stewed fruit which is what I look for. The final 3rd had notes of toasted italian bread. I dont pretend to be Mr. Palate but on this night, this cigar was simply stunning. I know when I see those little white dots in my ash I am in for a good one.

BUE Oct 2008 Montecristo Petit Edmundo. This is how I like my PE...coffee, cocoa, cream, a little nut, and a lot of the edge taken off! This was so good at 9 years down, but I know it has the legs for even more!

Down to my 2nd last Wide Churchill tonight (TOR OCT15) and a few Lot 40 whiskey's . I do like these, but starting to like smaller vitolas

Partagas Chicos aren't half bad. They're a quick smoke, they're cheap and cheerful, and they're in the same league as Cohiba Shorts, IMHO. For two bucks and change, I'm game.

Hoyo Epi No. 2 tonight, I love this creamy CC...can anyone give me a couple suggestions I could look out for on 24:24 that is very similar to these? Family is making some Nutella bites too!!

2002 MdO #3 - still love those!

Went with a Punch Punch tonight. Little underfilled but still good.

RAS (ETP February 16), improving but still a touch of the fireproof wrapper:

A box from the locker arrived safe and sound. Punch DC. Smoked one last night and wow - outstanding right out of the box. Thanks Pres.

Tatuaje petit cazadores 2008 I'm gonna catch some shit but, I really think anyone who says Cuban are far superior to Nc's really hasn't smoked enough well aged Nicaragua cigars While I will concede that most Nc's aren't going to stand toe to toe will a 5 star example of whatever is killing the game right now from the island. But well aged examples of my favorite Nicaraguans are right up there with my Cubans. I've painted a target on my head. Feel free to fire away

Dominican tobacco. Free beer, compliments of @Nguneer ?

Brought from the 24:24 Brisbane show holiday sale 12.5% of still sitting in the tupperdore H Upmann petit corona look and smell very nice

Not really a purchase, but a box full of trades arrived today from a fellow member. Mostly stuff I have not tries before, or stuff I have tried with some age on them. It's going to be very exciting trying all these new sticks. Also, my singles humidor is practically full now! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Ingenuity indeed I hope you also have a chance to relax this weekend!

Super happy for you Mario, now you get to build another mini kitchen I have two girls (4 yrs and 10 months) and everyone asks if I want to try for a boy. I always say, "there is nothing I could teach a boy that I can't teach my girls...except how to pee on the seat... Now you have someone to pass on the tradition to.

Jeremy Festa has just welcomed a new arrival to his family (his wife and himself have 2 girls ) a baby boy named Frederick James Congratulations to you and your family can wait to give you a hug when you next pop it

Buy as I do for most things, to try out and form an opinion, that's what cigars are all about, try everything, figure out what you like and go from there Bart

Only noise attacks I've experienced in HAV was that of too noisy tourists in places like Floridita or too loud Regueton played on the stereo in old Havana or in cabs ...

You staying in the same apartment? Got a couple great photos from that deck! Damn, tho, yes the band up top DID NOT STOP.. had no idea who they were playing to, me thinks it was 5 foreigners and and a bunch of chairs.. Dad slept in the bed by the deck, I slept on the futon with my earbuds in. Felt sorry for Dad. Like Cory, I really liked some of the art. This was in that Apartment. Photos from the Deck - In this photo below, the Cab with the blue lighted interior never moved all night. Dad and I watched it for 3-4 hours. The guys stood outside the cab, had lots of lost foreigners types ask them questions although they didn't seem too interested in helping. We wondered what they were up to. This is one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. If you have a sharp eye you can see where I took the photo, two photos above. My dad (@jacketfan) put me on the photo and it occurred to me as I was framing the shot that I was seeing the new revolucíon. The old and the new.. The old (mom inside talking to the adults), and the new with the youngsters on the deck getting WiFi (the window to the world) from the hotel next-door.

Winston, to me, is much more complex and the development offers more surprises. Of course, I prefer the Upmann profile to Cohiba.

There's literally an active thread right now discussing how good they are. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Well Thursday is the new Friday especially since the weather still permits a comfortable outdoor smoke.For once tonight it didn't take me long to decide what to smoke when I thought about this thread.Not smoked a Connie A in a while and had pulled out a couple for a herf last weekend which didn't get lit. What a glorious cigar!Def within my top 5 this year.Tonights sample being from a 5er MEG '16 I believe.Very, very good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well its only Thursday, but one tasted like another so.....Secretos to the rescue . I should leave these for a bit as they are fresh......but very good.

AMO is El Laguito Believe TOS is La Corona

Snagged the same lot, but sent directly to the locker to keep my grubby fingers off 'em!! ?

It sounds like it started around November of last year. Does anyone here have anything to say for themselves? I know acoustic weaponry has been around for several years now, but I have not heard of versions powerful enough to cause brain damage and memory loss. I am staying across the street from Hotel Capri in a few months, just like last November. The band on the roof goes until 2 or 3 am Thurs-Sun nights. I thought I had brain damage by the time I left!

HdM Epicure No2 (OPS MAY 16) Lovely late afternoon treat. Thunder & Lightening '75-'15

Cheap and cheerful this afternoon. Great stick for the price.

Rafael Gonzalez Perla '15 Ugliest stick from the box, cracked wrapper, green spots. ROTT smoking very nice. Glad I bought two boxes Edit: Wa-wa-vi-wa! This Perla can easily compete with Siglo 1 and Monte 5, honey sweetness starts at 2nd third till the nub.

RA 898 - coming along very nicely!

Then, logically speaking, you'd have to call the H.Upmann Sir Winston a "Royale with cheese!"

Sampling my first Por Larranaga piccadores. Hands down the strongest cold aroma from any box I own. Very good so far, and getting better! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Punch Punch tonight.....Really liking these

San Cristobal La Principe and a local brew......both very very good.

A second epic cigar day in a row. SUB AGO 11 Siglo III- nothing like an aged Sig III LRE OCT 09 BGM - firm but good draw and perfect burn. Great cigar but I'll give a very slight edge to the Siglo III this time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
