After thanksgiving meal. Siglo 6

Morning cigar

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Having a CoRo for an after dinner smoke.

Turkey on the smoker today. Turned out BEAUTIFULLY. But the real star might have been the truffle mac and cheese. Plus, I got in the festive spirit (after...some festive spirits We made the Aviary Fulton Punch) after dinner. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Spatchcocked maple smoked turkey, Mushroom/onion gravy, butternut squash curry soup, sweet potato and goat cheese galette, dressing, salad, Brussels, and apple pie and caramel ice cream for dessert. Hmmm now what to smoke for second dessert… 🤔

Enjoying an HU connoisseur no 1 while my turkey fryer comes to temp.

Family in town. Turkey in the oven. Kids down for naps. It's good to be grateful. Have a great one all! 🦃 🥃 🦃

Today's modest purchase...

Quick break from a full house

Had a few sticks while on pre Thanksgiving thankfulness getaway.

First N4. Still needs some time - plenty of harshness on the retrohale - but what an amazing evolution of flavors for such a small cigar.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Amazing lusi and really good p2

past couple days happy thanksgiving- great tasting cigar while turkey is cooking. Pretty warm outside for nov After dinner - temps dropping fast

Some recents.. Monte Especiales 2, lancero customs, mag 46 tubos, party shorts

Parti E2 (2018) from our gracious host. Beautiful smoke..

Took the wife to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden tonight. He plays there one night every month, so I try to catch one every couple of years. He puts on a great show.

AF Rare Pink Short Story. I smoked this while my wife smoked a Hemingway Short Story. There was no doubt the Hemingway line blew the rare pink out of the water. 83/100

RA Club. Great cigar. I find the smoke volume on RA cigars unmatched by any other Cuban. Never had a disappointing RA.

Hope everyone is enjoying the leftovers and more pie! Boli PC TUA JUL ‘20

This is the first Thanksgiving that has just been me, my wife, and my boys; so it is the first time without a big spread. We still ate well though. I didn't get pictures of brunch, but we had croissant french toast with a vanilla sauce and raspberry compote; scrambled eggs, and bacon. For a snack, I had an RG 88. For dinner it was Cornish game hens with a bourbon cream sauce, cornbread stuffing, maple glazed carrots, and mini pumpkin cheesecakes. I also had a whiskey sour.

today before USA v England

Forgot to take pics of the sides, homemade apple pie was a thing of beauty. pre and post dinner cigars + few bottles of cab

Always loved the CF.

Just in time for Thanksgiving - many thanks to the FOH crew for the Mag 50s & Siglo IIIs 🙏

I have decades of after Thanksgiving dinner cigar smoking memories with my father. He was a pipe smoker, but a few nights a year he would have a cigar with me, Thanksgiving was one of them. He really loved cigars, his face always lit up when he was smoking one, a nice glass of vintage Port was our drink of choice. I’d almost always bring RyJ Churchill’s, don’t have any Churchill’s right now so a Capuletos will have to do. This box has been plagued with a much higher percentage of underfilled cigars than usual, this one at least has crawled up to the published weight of 15 g. Nice colorado maduro wrapper with a reddish hue. Good amount of resistance in the draw, with a sweet dark fruit flavor, blindfolded I’d guess this was a Ramon Allones. Opens at medium body with blackberry, briar and brown sugar. It’s a delicious cigar except like many 16’s the finish is quite dry, luckily the 03 Croft should take care of that....and it does. It settles into rich blackberry blueberry fruit and sweet briar. This cigar didn’t transition much, body made it up to medium full, fruit came down a little and sweet briar came up a little. I would have put a Ramon Allones band on this cigar 👻 The Port was a game changer, smoking this cigar without something sweet takes it from a 92 to an 85. The burn was razor sharp, a lovely hour and a half down memory lane.

I'll see your FOH EE and um... call.

Small Club while listening to the Lizards Pod review of it.

I just have to tip my hat to the guys/girls who came up with the idea of a new way to sell cutlery. It could have been worse gents. It could have been the Temperance Fork....or

My new muzzle loaded turkey boom stick and high powered turkey fryer.

Yes. He played it for 2 songs. Matter of Trust, at the beginning opener of the show, and then towards the end of the show he played it for We Didn’t Start The Fire. @JohnS I made it into a Youtube for you.

Agree here. I shopped IKEA once many years ago with my ex and would never step foot in there again. We spent hours immersed in the full IKEA experience; looking at every setup, lunch, shopping for crappy decor, etc. When we finally went to check out, after 30 minutes in the checkout line, the checker said she was going on break and I'd have go into a different line. I unleashed a tirade and told them they could keep their shitty furniture and left the cart at the register. You can add Pottery Barn to that hell as well. I finally told my wife that if she brings anything else into the house that I have to put together from PB, it goes right in the trash before the box gets opened. Either that or she can put it together herself and don't bother asking for my help if part A doesn't line up with part B since it never does. I've had to do way too much "custom" work to put that crap together over the years.

Stopped raining so was able walk puppy not getting drenched and have time before USA v England. Nemar’s ankle look pretty bad yesterday. This one is from the lighter of my two boxes same codes other box looks like maduro. Wrapper is very rough Aroma - Cedar barnyard damp forest Draw - Milk chocolate peanuts 1st - First couple puffs very creamy but then dry peanut leather Aroma all nuts/ honey Burn and draw a lot better than first 3 from this box 2nd - still dry peanuts and leather, not harsh but feel like it could turn anytime Last third getting drier and now tasting burnt coffee Had to relight- a little bitter now. Running low on my Punch except for these. Wish it was as good as the RA Superiores and RyJ wide ch from yesterday. Guess need to try again in 6-9 months Rating - in the 70s

We opted for Cornish hens instead of turkey

Connie B and some Michter’s Rye…Cheers!

Since Yoon Sukyeol rose to the power, my country keeps going south with consecutive tragic disasters like Seoul Halloween crowd crush due to his poor governance. Even worse, he didn't even do a proper public apology and instead, he decided to blame others including victims for Seoul Halloween crowd crush, which made me more upset. So, I and my mum went to Candlelight protest against Yoon Sukyeol and Kim Keonhee yesterday. Despite the distance (took more than a hour as I got lost in Noryangjin Station) and cold weather, I felt glad that I took part in peaceful Candlelight Vigil since many people joined there in the cause of justice regardless of age and gender. I'm definitely participating in the next Candlelight protests for sure! Note. Unable to take many pics because my phone was almost ran out battery
