Cigar /Pipe Smoking thread

[Tin Man]

This morning’s post breakfast puff is a San Cristobal Elegancia, another cigar I’ve not smoked in ~2 years.

Ultimate zen.
Sitting in a private family cemetery at what we call the farm.this smoke should last til sunset.
I’ve heard at least 2 birds gobbling in the woods to my right. I have a set up in there and a blind in the field in the photo background, way out past the brown stuff. Season starts tomorrow. Doesn’t seem to be many birds the last few years.

No turkeys but I did enjoy watching 3 deer and lots of squirrels. Love watching the woods come alive.

Hellas cigars by Raymond Pages is a good one to start.

After a good report from my oncologist, it’s a two cigar day.

I’ve had the Florida Man Miami Edicion…pricier than the others. Also like New Cuba…especially the corojo torpedos. Never tried these others. Thought the Megilla might stack up to the Macanudo. What do these compare to?

The Megilla MSA with a San Andreas maduro wrapper is medium full, cocoa, nutty, earthy, leather, cedar, and Raymond Pages’ signature spice counterpoint to the semisweetness of the cocoa. Blend of Nicaraguan filler and Nicaraguan binder. Well made, even burn, firm ash, prodigious smoke.

IMHO, Raymond Pages is producing some fine cigars that are affordably priced while he builds his reputation.

Good for you Tin Man!!

 

[Nkyvolfan]

Not quite pool weather in NKY. But nice enough out to enjoy the golden hour.

This morning’s post breakfast puff is the last of my Raymond Pages 5 cigar sampler, a Last of my Kind toro. Leather, earth, spice, and a caramel sweetness. I find it to be medium full in character, rich and complex. Well constructed, good draw, burning evenly, firm ash, and prodigious smoke.

Warm this afternoon. Time to pause for a puff.

Thanks to @Gandalf, I have changed my ways. Before, maduros and oscuros were for cooler temps, and connies and habanos were for warmer temps accompanied by iced beverages. Now, darker wrappers anytime.

Couple of food plots planted today

Padron 7000 Series natural. The stick that launched my full strength journey one year ago. Got it from the same B&M. If anything, I love it more!

 

[Regulator]

Had to restock.

I don’t think first gen Cylons smoked cigars.

Revisited the Murcielago from Espinosa one calendar year later. Excellent chocolate and this one was toothy from the B&M.
