Cigar /Pipe Smoking thread

[Checker_the_Shire]

Though I’ve acquired a taste for most barrel aged spirits, my recent pairings have been with neat Tennessee sipping whiskey (Nelson’s). My current reading matter includes book 5 of the stormlight archive by Brandon Sanderson and Becoming True Worshippers by M. Thomas Seaman.

A friend of mine is reading Stormlight. I just jumped into Wheel of Time, which Sanderson wrote the last 3, because of him talking about Stormlight. I’m usually not a high fantasy guy, but WOT does a good job of not having too much of the subplots that sometimes get super confusing (looking at you Game of Thrones).

Been too cold lately but we hit 42 this afternoon, enjoying a bowl of Autumn Evening in my Saseini.

31 degrees, sunny, and still this morning. Time for a Record Bond Edition Limitada.

What a gorgeous day for late January. Started at the farm; now, enjoying a bowl of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream in my Peterson.


Go VOLS tonight!

Made from real tiger's blood!

This morning’s post-breakfast smoke is a BDL connie.

 

[Regulator]

Needed a smoke and an Old Fashioned despite the temps.

 

[Tin Man]

This morning’s sunrise smoke is a Record Bond Edition Limitada Mark I. It’s just above freezing, still, and clear. The resident birds are singing territorial songs. Especially notable are three area Carolina wrens.

Plus New Belgium Mountain Time Lager.

 

[Tin Man]

This morning’s sunrise smoke is an AJF Viva la Vida.

Had to travel today for a work meeting beginning tomorrow morning. Having a Sunday night smoke with my work buddy from Denver.

Yeah, but what was plan B?

 

[Tin Man]

This morning

 

[BSAvol]

Yeah, but was was plan B?

I wasn’t familiar with Plan B,
It was my buddy’s daily smoke that is a Drew Estate product. He gets them from Neptune; said they only run a couple bucks a stick.

This morning, it’s 52 degrees at dawn. The birds are singing like it’s Spring. I even hear a robin. The post-breakfast smoke is a BDL Connie.

The postman delivers
Aganorsa Leaf New Cuban maduro robusto
EP Carrillo La Alianza natural robusto

 

[Tin Man]

Such a fine Spring-like afternoon, thought I’d try a La Alianza natural robusto.


Edit: médium body, a little earthy, a little woody, nice spice with prominent black pepper, a hint of… caramel. Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and long fillers.

 

[Tin Man]

This morning’s sunrise smoke is a Agnora leaf New Cuban maduro robusto, the second of my recent purchase of “bundle cigars.” This is stated to be a Cuban sandwich of Nicaraguan agnora leaf filler and binder with a maduro wrapper. Cedar, earth, coffee, and spice with the barest hint of cocoa. I will enjoy these and the La Allianza cigars while I have them, but the better value are the BDLs from Tabacalara Pages.


The band came off with the cellophane sleeve.
