Now for my Wed afternoon treat. A tasty R&J #3 paired with a JD SB BP store pick punching in at 131.1.

Settling in to an evening of relaxation on the front patio after a rugged week at the plastic factory.  Blooming gardenia and potted basil doing their best to sweeten the air, Braves on the radio, Maker’s 46 over a cube in the glass, and a Montecristo Epic PS robusto  ready to be fired up.  
I earned every bit of this…💪

Punch is my "go-to" smoke.

I pretty much like them all.

They're packed with flavor,  constructed nicely and reasonably priced.

After unpacking from our beach trip, I figured I’d light one up Red Auerbach style to celebrate a nice 5 days away, and also celebrate getting home in on piece from the drive.  Truly, half the drivers on the road have no idea WTF they’re doing.  They drive like it’s Mario Cart, and feel there are no lethal consequences to their fumbfuckery.  Just, restart the game!  😤. Or, they’re completely asleep at the wheel with no sense of any awareness.  

Ricky Patel LB1 and a generous pour of 1792 BIB, to take the edge off.

It’s been alternating bouts of rain, than hot Sun all day.  Latest was a good thunderstorm that roared through, but now finished.  The air is thick.  Perfect time for a Flor de las Antillas robusto on the front patio, as it brightens up a bit.  But, hearing thunder rumbling out yonder.

OMG Stop please. I'm in the floor laughing so hard my stomach is convulsing. Stop Stop!!!

Most people are texting or otherwise looking at their phones, I'd wager.

Wrapper going on eBay soon 😂

Heehee!  Me, I’m in the woods of the Motherland with a simple Oliva O, a beer (after a few bourbons), and the sounds of all kinds of things making racket in the trees.  Move into our cabin tomorrow.  Pretty copacetic, right now.  🙂

Those are solid! I had one earlier, as a reward for washing my truck and Mrs. Skinsfans car.

Smoking this one on the back porch.

They're a tad overpriced,  but I'll buy 'em when they go on sale, which is several times a year,  on most cigar sites....

Graycliff...and I don't know which one.

 

The 60 ring gauge is a little more than I care for, but It's pretty good for sitting on the back porch with a book.

I know what you mean.  I was all about the bigger ring gauges years ago but now I really don't enjoy smoking anything larger than 52.

Yup!   52-56 is in my wheelhouse...

Oct of 2013 Davidoff released The Year of the Horse for the upcoming Jan 2014. After nearly 11 years in the humi the cello wrapper was stained a dark amber and begging to be smoked. Pretty hefty flavor and strength for the brand.

I have purchased a few boxes of the Davidoff limited editions over the past couple years and am hoping to keep at least a few of the sticks for a decade or so.  Davidoffs are known to age well.   Did you enjoy the flavor of this one?

Late afternoon Padron out front while listening to Braves on the radio.  Perhaps, a Buffalo Trace over a cube in the Yeti as well, but I don’t want to suggest that I haven’t done nuthin’ all day.  Well, I ain’t really done nuthin’…🤣
