2015 San Juan - A great after work smoke. Creamy, vanilla wafer, and twang bang. Delicious

JL2 The undisputed Cuban baseline gold standard?

Need a bottle of Johnnie Red to go with Sir Winston, but this works in a pinch ...

19 or 20 (I forget) PLMC - the MC is such a fun format to smoke, I wish every marca had their own long and skinny, or brought them back anyway! Leaf by Oscar Sumatra Lancero - the PLMC I had this morning had me wanting another long and skinny so I reached for this one. Spicy but quite flavorful!

Royal Corona ULA OCT 14

Hard to beat Southern California in January. Nice D4 playing hooky from the office.

First stick from my last box, middle third was amazing !

C&C time. H. Upmann No. 1 (2017) from our gracious host. HDM Epicure No. 1 (2017) from our gracious host.

I ordered the sampler and the Papa's BHK Medio. I smoked one of Papa's medios this past weekend, it was divine. A very creamy smoke. I exchanged a few emails back and forth with Ramze. He an easy guy to deal with and responded quickly. One of my sticks was damaged in transport, he's going to replace it no biggie. As per age the Alex's are from last year, everything else is from 2019.

FOH Titan Custom

Just got mine yesterday.

Found these waiting for me at the office this morning. MTS Oct 21. The appearance and aroma are phenomenal. …and these just came in as well. GLE Sep 21!

I watched the first episode of “Get Back” tonight on Disney Plus tonight with a couple of great cigars. I can’t describe how awesome this was! Can’t wait to see episode 2 tomorrow. I’m hooked for sure!!

If my Cohibas were rolled on the thighs of a virgin these were definitely rolled on the thighs of a 50 year old hooker

Latest haul. Wondering when i will have 2.5 hours to spare to try the Parti Salomones... 😆

Had 8 days vacation at Aruba this early January... what can I say? I had great time smoking at the cigar emporium there. I visited both stores, LCDH Aruba had less diversity than the other one. I was not expecting to buy boxes... and ended up buying 4 boxes including la Gloria Cubana oro no.4! Some hard to find cigars were Hoyo De Monterrey Maravialles, Bolivar Reserva Cosecha, La Gloria Cubana and Trinidad Fundis, La Trova... It was my first time visiting LCDH and am really hooked in to LCDH... already planned to visit St. Maarten in may

Everyone, you know what to do!

Managed to light both burners. Got to clear some snow to get it closer to me without risk to life and limb. Wet spot on the knees of my pants is really starting to steam. I think this might work. VID-20220125-WA0038.mp4

I'm stuffing my face on my fishing trip and then I'm in 100% . Time to Jumpstart into some weight loss. I'm diabetic and with high cholesterol and high blood pressure I need incentive !

Can we get back to talking about THIS book? Thank you @ATGroomAlex for listening to the requests for add on options. I will certainly change my pledge and add a kickstarter book. I’m afraid of what others have stated. The collector’s edition should be just that… a beautiful art piece on display possibly, but I don’t want chicken grease on my pages during a cookout. Cheers

The James Webb infrared observatory has made it into orbit around the L2 point. Final adjustments of the mirrors will begin and the telescope should be ready for images by late May/early June. It is expected that Webb will have 10-100 times the resolution of its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope and is expected to peer back some 13 billion years to the beginnings of our universe! At $10 billion dollars, that’s a lot of bucks for the (Big) bang!

Proposed solution:

You all have got to be kidding, right? After investing thousands of dollars building my tool shed ,you want me to lose it for a chance at some stogies? No way, I'm fat and sassy with plenty of stogies. Y'all have at it. I'm going to sit back, eat burritos, drink beer and watch this show with a good cigar.

When one's humor fails to command laughters, two possibilities have to be weighed... Either the public is humorless or the joke didn't deserve laughter... food for thoughts 😅

Everyone got the "joke". His comment clarifying things was well warranted as posts related to MRN historically have gone askew. His comment was factual. Your response was emotional. Don't resort to feeling scolded because he added some context. Perhaps take your "cancel culture" beef elsewhere if you're that sensitive?

Loving this:) 2017 Trinidad Vigia

Hopefully they remebered to take the lens cap off.

Esplendido Media Luna Siglo VI Sir Winston

Man…this comment has had me debating if I need to add a “chicken grease edition” since yesterday. Seems like a valid point though…one book as a showpiece for coffee table, bookshelf, etc., and one to really dig into while smoking, etc. without having to worry. Decisions decisions…

Time for a double corona…NOT!

Almost perfect--except the 08 band gives it away. Should have gone with the Cuaba Piramides.

@ATGroom has made it so!

This guys next article.....how to get Stripper glitter/sparkles off your suit so the Mrs. doesn't get angry 😅

Partagas E2 - TUA OCT 2020

Cheap, cheap!! At less than $1 per year to look into the past, that's a bargain!!

Above freezing temps, a little sun & a couple smokes (Monte 2 - TLE JUL 20; BBF - UMR ABR 21). It's the little things.
