It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄

Started the day opening a new REG JUN 19 box of Party Shorts. Finished the day with a TLE SEP 20 Trinidad Esmeralda.

Never been more happy smoking a CoRo. Box code is December 2018 the month my first son was born. I am a big fan of Cohiba but CoRos have underwhelmed me a bit over the years, and I am not a fan of robustos. I like the tall thin ones lol. However I also believe if you get a good box of CoRos they can be extremely good. I bought as many December 2018 boxes off 24:24 as I could find. Ended up grabbing a box of Dip 2, a box of HU #2, and this box of CoRos. Felt like I had scored pretty well! I have tried the Dip 2 and the HU #2 and they were both spot on - as expected - but this was my first from the CoRo. BANGING! Maybe one day, if lucky enough, I’ll pull a couple from this box to share with him.

ULA Jun 2015 Bolivar Tubos No.1...

HDM Rio Seco from our hosts. This was probably the most pleasant stick I’ve smoked all year. Box almost has a year on it. It wasn’t the most flavorful or exciting but it was very easy and enjoyable. It really made my afternoon. Can’t wait to enjoy more of these in the future as they age. And yes, the ginger was present and I loved it. Nice change from the usual for me. Smoked it down to a finger burning nub. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last night with Bolivar 108 Lunch time La Fuerza today

Friday lunch with a Magnum 54 and a glass of Syrah.

RASS, D4 - 2019 Mag 46 - 2018 Salomon - 2021 (smoked absolutely beautifully)

PSP2 (HQ) from a recent 24:24 Thanks, FoH.

Daiquiri of the poor and a way overfilled Montecristo no 4. I feel it gonna be plugged and I'll suffer. We will see. Edit: The draw is perfect for now even using a straight cut only.

Monte 1 to ring in friday

Sometimes a RyJ cigar is right on and this is one of those times. Tacos from last night was RyJ perfection.

2nd coloniales from a 12 I got here. Mid 2020 I think. I find these to be really rich, first one was almost too much but this one has mellowed out a bit and was great.

Nice Upmann Half corona pre dinner BBF for breakfast with some delicious Jamaica Blue mountain coffee that @SigmundChurchill put me onto

Some recent finds...I was hoping for lighter wrappers on the Talisman, but the Connie B’s are stunning in every way

So you paid 180 bucks for 3 glasses of wine, 4 spoons of paste, and a strawberry and cream? who was under the table ?

HUHC and coffee this am

The FOH Christmas sampler from 24:24 about to be sampled soon.

I have had a few emails/PMs looking for an update. We have had a few issues getting the cigars out of Nicaragua into Europe for distribution. Simple covid transport issues but that seems to have sorted itself out. We will open the shopping carts December 26 specifically for Desnudo/Nudie sales. We will have enough stock for the Christmas New Year period and the carts will remain open until they are sold. FOH regulars won't miss out. This will give my local team a little break while the Desnudo/Nudies roll out and get shipped from the EU. I was smoking the 2021 colorado maduro Lancero yesterday. We nailed it.

Tomorrow, my cousin is getting married. Since it's a Greek wedding the plan for me is to fast for two days prior, drink and eat on the wedding day and probably eat about three days later. If any of you have been to a Greek festival/party/wedding etc you will know what I'm talking about. Some bad news though, the beard is gone for the wedding at the kind insistence of my beautiful wife Eleni and fantastic mother, Maria. They also want my hair shorter but as it took me two years to grow on account of the Covid-19 pandemic and not visiting a barber I couldn't come to terms with the thought of the fifth stage of grieving (i.e acceptance) and witness my hair being removed in ten minutes after it took two years to grow. So I got a trim. To all my dear friends here, the CigarJesus references are out for the time being, but just like Jesus, the beard will come back!

TOU DIC 18

BRE DIC 18 HUP#2. Excellent on all levels. Cheers

Some stuff that arrived this week. 3 bundles of the best CR 109's plus some bundles of H.Upmann Nr 2, Magnum 54 and what I believe to be Magnum 56 or Siglo VI, not sure.

The 2030 Habanos Limited Edition will be straight to the point

Was just talking to Smithy yesterday. He still wants the Smithsonian to go into production. 😁

Whew...

At last a Welsh regional!

BSM DIC 19 Coloniales

2017/18 La Punta after lunch. Delicious.

REVIEWS Nigel Artz 07/18/2021, 12:53 AM Stronger , lasts much longer and a few dollars cheaper than the Veppo equivalent ... I've switched to ePuffer as a result . Nicholas Scivally 06/23/2020, 02:18 PM This is awesome. Taste amazing and doesn’t leave the bad after taste I get from a normal cigar, which makes me not like cigars all that much. Going to a cabin with the buddies for a long weekend and this will be perfect to use while they smoke their cigars. Already had another guy on the trip order one after trying mine and I already ordered another for myself. Jer 06/17/2019, 01:01 PM Amazing long lasting Cigar! Recently discovered ePuffer, very happy with products and customer service. Will buy again. Jon 01/29/2019, 05:27 PM I have been ordering these cigars for a couple years, and they are the closest thing to a cigar that I have found. The other day I had my first issue with one of the cigars; i have probably ordered at least 50, so that’s a pretty good reliability %. One of my cigars stopped working after a day of use. Typically they will last me 5 days. I didn’t know if they could do anything to help, but I sent an email. I hadn’t heard back from them, but today I open the mailbox and there is a package from them. Apparently they responded promptly, but it went to my spam. I’m incredibly impressed with this company. Not only have their products been reliable, but they also have outstanding customer service. It’s hard to find a company that stands behind their product; normally you have to fight with a company before they will honor your request.

Electronic cigar - the first step to a rubber inflatable woman...

Astrologers? "I see much ribbing in your future. You must expect alchemical reactions, and being flogged about phlogiston. The bizarre cigar-shaped intruder is heading for Uranus...."

Love it. Antique leather cigar box trimmed with copper can be opened with malachite button

It looks like something Mike Tyson will design while tripping on Toad Venom.

Chi cerca Trova

Third time's a charm, at least for me tonight. It's a Tuesday evening here, so seemed I should try one that I've put off for a while: One of my earlier mentioned, thought-to-be cursed Connie A's. Well, it truly wasn't bad tonight. It's just that I didn't find it's profile to my liking, I think, after the first while. (No different than wine, food, music or any other art, it's all about what strikes you in the end.) ...But I anticipated that I might not liking it (from previous experiences), and so lit a R&J Short Churchill (also 2018) at the same time. Both were just fine, at times delicious, ...until the mid-point for me. The A just ceased to have flavors I enjoyed (could be me, not the cigar), and then the R&J just burst at the seams. (Perhaps too close to the fire?) ...unraveling beyond enjoyment ...neither felt satisfying, even for a weeknight. ...So lit a Secreto (LGR Nov 2018). A little flavor bomb. Third time's a charm

Can’t believe I was out of these for a month!! Luckily our lovely hosts allowed me to restock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Watching a virtual conf on my iPad today with lots of pre-recorded videos gave me a good opportunity to sit in the sun and have a couple of smokes. PLMC, Nudie 1 and then a RAG. I think it’s time for a little lie down now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
