Baja about 30 minutes south of the California border.  75 degrees and sunny all week! 

Ahh that's Rosarito with the Coronado's in the background? Sounds amazing, I've been wanting to get down to Mexico on a little vacation!!!

Long day working on the first budget submission for next fiscal year which starts April 1. Time to unwind with a MEG MAY 17 Connie A. Good but not as good as the ones I have from 14.

Yes sir you nailed it! We are fortunate enough to have a beach house down here. I try to come down as often as work and life allows me.

A bunch from the last couple weeks.  I've been very heavy on the NC's for some reason.  That will change next week.  

LGR-NOV-18 Dip 2

Thanksgiving morning smoke. Was gifted this Davidoff a couple years ago.  It was extremely flavorless and one dimensional.. 

LMB-OCT-18 Siglo II

Anejo No. 50 from 2016 - Great up until halfway through when I dropped it in the hot tub.. 

Pre-round SdP. Fantastic. 

Bride. Always good. 

Thank you to @lovethehaze for this stick.  Super enjoyable.  Flavors were reminicent of buttered pan seared scallops (but not fishy) which was very weird and lovely. 

Stick came like this... Pitched the bitch after 10 puffs.  Could have worked through the cracked wrapper had flavors been better.. 

MSU-MAR-19 Boli PC: Thanks to @lovethehaze - Buttery finish throughout, coffee grounds, leather and a slight mint tingle

Long work week. It’s 4. Temps will drop soon. Time for a fire, some last emails, and a revisit to Cazzie land. A 2019 so young. Strong lwith nice flavors, smoother around the edges than I would have thought.

Smoking a few Trinidad Reyes with some friends. RAG JUL 19. This box seems to have an especially musty barnyard scent.

Nudies N3 Carlota

If you aren't familiar with the Nudies releases on our FoH forum the following is a recap summary...

The Nudies are 2019 collaboration between El Pres and master Cuban roller, Hamlet Paredes using Non-Cuban leaf. Specifically, the filler is made up of Nicaraguan quality aged seco and volado, there is no ligero which means no strong pepper and less 'kick'. The Nudies N1 Lancero was designed to replicate the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.1, the Nudies N3 Carlota was designed to replicate the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3. Both Partagas cigars were discontinued in 2010.

The Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3 was 35 ring gauge by 143 mm (or 5⅝ inches) in length. The N3 Carlota is slighter bigger and longer, 38 ring by 152 mm (or 6 inches) in length. The reason for this was the difference in blend and taste once it got down past the 38 ring gauge mark in testing. Hence why the N3 Carlota is slightly bigger than the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3.

I was fortunate enough to discuss the N3 Carlota with El Pres earlier this year in 2020 whereby I noted, in my opinion, that the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3 tended to be more 'toasty' or crispy from my memory. He agreed, but they did what they could with the resources they had. By those standards I concurred that El Pres and Hamlet did a fine job.

This N3 Carlota today started off spectacularly. I got a wonderful hit of quality bread sourdough, sweet cocoa and leather. It was every bit as good as the many quality Habanos cigars I've enjoyed lately. The cigar picked up more in toasted tobacco in the second half but it retained its core flavours as in my opinion, is still smoking every bit as well as when I acquired them at the beginning of 2020.

Thanks Steve! Hope that everything goes okay buddy ?

For next Kimfessions Virtual Herf, I'm not sure whether I can do it soon or not, but will let you know by posting Announcement on forum ?. Daily COVID cases in Korea are now 600+ and everything closes after 9PM including library, which makes me difficult to hold Kimfessions Feast even more ?.
