6 stick day! Started with a My Father Le Bijou petite robusto and ended with an El Rey Del Mundo Cuban. Proud of myself for tasting every one.

Just enjoying the end of a Sunday. Must say I love the seats in the side of my pool. Eru was kind to provide something that I didn’t even know I wanted.

This morning’s post breakfast puff is an EPC New Wave Brilliante

My recent purchase of a box of Cuba Aliados Cabinet robustos was delivered Saturday, while I was cycling in western NC. I unboxed them this morning and moved them to my humiTUB. Nice box.

I like to get the cohiba (premier of Cubans - so I’m told) minis from duty free. It’s like 20 for $40 I think. Really nice taste. A full cigar will turn me green. These are just right for me.

Was a lovely day in the pool yesterday. Working from home does have it’s benefits

The postman delivers. With sale prices and discount codes, I acquired these at <$4/stick.

Do you order from the same vendor or shop around?

One of the critiques that I read about the Cuba Aliados Cabinet is that its complex flavors yield to a cedar forward final third. I’ve found this to be true, but it doesn’t dissuade me from enjoying these.

@Gandalf will be pleased to know that I regularly toast the ends of my cigars as a lighting ritual. As an aside, I use a cutter more often than the perfect pocket bullet I was fond of carrying around. That said, I am guilty at times of biting off the cap of a fine cigar and putting the flame to it with my initial draw. Herf, I ask your forebearance.
