Nice Sunny 50 degree day, but a fire is still nice to sit out by with a Gilberto Oliva Noir.  This has become one of my faves from a stable of cigars that is my favorite.

A cup of roasted goobers, a glass of EWSB, and this CAO Gold are in perfect harmony for me, right now.

So I always remove my bands before I light my cigars, but I'm really enjoying this RP sun grown maduro with a rare breed rye, so figured I'd post about it.

LGC Medio Tiempo Robusto 5 x 54
Really liked this. An unexpected sweet wrapper taste on my lips like a mix of honey and caramel. Very even burn. 1st ash drop at about 1-1/2". About a 70 min smoke as I went down to the nub.

I’m on vacation this week.  So it’s giving me more porch/patio cigar time.  Saturday was a Cohiba Habano.  Yesterday was a near perfect experience with a Caldwell Connecticut Blind Man’s Bluff.  Tonight is a Caldwell Eastern Standard Midnight Express.  Tomorrow is Pfizer #2 so I might not be up for another cigar until the weekend.  We will see how it goes.

Good luck with Pfizer #2. I had no significant side effects when I got mine two weeks ago.  Only slight tenderness upon pressure at the point of injection.

 

The last cigar I had in my hands was a Cohiba in a tobacco shop in Toronto in 1983.  I was going to buy a cigar having quit smoking over a year prior but I decided against it.  10 years later I started developing significant lung disease.  I'd love to have a cigar every now and again but I just don't want to take that chance.

Same here.  I've mentioned them to some younger folks and just got blank stares in return.

Started about 20 minutes ago with an H. Upmann Jose Mendez.   Got about 1/4 through it and threw that mushy, soft, tasteless, turd into the fire.  So, went to the always (as in always) consistently great Padron 3000.  And as always, it’s great.

Another Gilberto Oliva Noir while out front listening to Braves pregame.  Down to my last 5 in my box, and all have been very good, so far.

Front patio with Braves on radio and Fuente Hemingway Signature.  Like seemingly everything Arturo Fuente, this is a fabulous smoke.

As much as I like all my little boutique blends, if I was stuck with Houses Fuente and Padron forever, I wouldn't complain a day.

I’m not quite sure where I should start, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out.

 

Happy Father’s Day to all the great men out there doing the work.  From a very thankful and blessed dad, here.
