Returned home today to find my latest acquisition, EPC Aliados.

Ecuadorian Sumatran wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. Spice, cocoa, and leather from the start. Medium full body.

There are few days that cant be improved with a bit of Blanton's (a batch from 2019).

The Olivia black swans are quite tasty too. Its funny, they do have a nice chocolatey flavor but it doesnt have quite the "richness" that a more premium maduro would have. I would certainly put them over Camacho's triple maduro though. Construction great. smoke adequate.. Was definitely worth getting a 5 pack whenever you see them on sale.

Lucky bastaj! Thought my wife was going to attend a wedding in California. Had my junket of cigar bars already planned. Now she’s whelching.

Um, you do your cocktail, and I’ll do mine.

Quintessence, ice cold water, chocolate cookie. Peace and quiet.
Freedom!

A break in the rain. Sun is peaking out from between the clouds. 81 degrees. I’ve accompanied the old cat onto the screened porch. The rotating fan is on low. An Avo Classic toro.

EOC’s Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic bands their overproduction with a simple value label featuring the factory name. Most others do not. Yesterday, I received my recent order of EPC natural overproduction (I’m on a budget). Ten of these robustos were a hair longer than 5”, so, seconds. I’m enjoying one this morning.

Did the Classic #2 today.

Work trip coming up. Golf/boating/meetings at Lake Norris for 4 days next week, I was asked to bring cigars to share. (Company card) Not a huge fan of these Cohibas but there be some folks smoking as a novelty and it’s a familiar brand.

Is that a flavored Dr Pepper? Don’t recognize the can.

Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar Cherry. It’s ruined me for most other sodas.

Got this cutter from CP in the mail today. Anybody else have it and like it?
Seems like good quality, weighty for its size, action slides easily. Incorporates a guillotine, V cutter and punch. Came in a velvet drawstring bag that I figure will keep me from cutting myself as I fidget with things in my pockets. Who doesn’t, right?
Makes a pretty clean v cut.

Saturday spent at the farm. Hot day.
