Those look noice.

Alec Bradley Project 40s for $3.45/stick all in. 93 rated medium bodied cigar. Nutty, sweetly spicy, a little floral, cedar, and bread. If they’re all like this first one, I think I scored.

I’ll watch the second half of the championship later. For now I’m working in the garage enjoying some Mac Baren Vanilla Cream in my gorgeous vintage Benjamin Barling &Sons pipe.

Don’t bother watching.

Enjoying one of my Rocky Patel Renaissance torpedoes. Was my first order on Cigar Page, but I didn’t appreciate the more robust offering at that stage of my stogie journey…needed to be sweeter and milder. Now I love not having to relight several times a session. Appreciate the insights on here with the more advanced regulars.

Never owned a Zippo. Arriving tomorrow.

Lovely day with an Oliva conny and a nice scotch.

Enjoying the final round of the Masters with a bowl of Country Squire’s Ruins of Windsor in my little Peterson.

Lighting up an old favorite, #1 cigar of the year a few years back. Needs no intro, the ep Carollo pledge prequel

Got the Montechristo 7 sampler from Cigar Page and have enjoyed two so far. You see the difference a few extra bucks brings.

I’m quite fond of those. I use an old Pledge box as a quick access short term storage option. It’s well made as cigar boxes go, with overlapping lip and hasp. I keep it seasoned like a wooden humidor and seldom have more than 8 cigars in it along with a 69% boveda. This keeps me from opening the humiTUB too often.

Chillin with this dbl robusto, not a sound other than birds. Hoping for a nice sunset.

Ordered some Chiba Blacks. What am I looking forward to?

From what I remember, very coffee bean expresso like with leather and some red pepper (but I dont remember it being a problem). Great construction and smoke levels. Definitely something to look forward to.

Ya, same here. I remember a nice even burn, lots of smoke. Agree with the coffee notes but I think it starts kinda sweet. Nice oily dark wrapper. I remember liking it.
Let us know what you find.

I like sweet as long as I get the STRONG…and the even ash burn is a must. Started out loving sweeter mild cigars like Drew Estates Tabak Especial Dolce…tastes have advanced.

You set the path I followed.

I’m celebrating the end of my proton radiation therapy with an AF Don Carlos Reserva robusto and some Nelson Brothers Greenbrier Tennessee whiskey. It’s 5:00 somewhere…

Congrats on all of that!

Watched the draft at my local cigar bar. Picked out a Padron hand rolled 7000 series…robust, full bodied goodness. Paired with some Stagg.

Because I wore my Brian Urlacher jersey, I got a free cigar. Wife says it’s worth $70.

Chores done, suns out. Ashton VSG and grape Powerade.

Enjoying a rare round Oliva V Melanio. Essentially, it’s a Melanio deemed not right for box pressing, a second. This was part of overproduction purchased by CigarPage and sold for pennies on the dollar. The ones shipped to me were drier than the Atacama Desert. Six weeks in the humiTUB, and this one’s fit for smoking with a little Greenbrier Tennessee whiskey.
