    Well the last two years with the trailer in tow… :hair: Last year they was tearing them up and rebuilding them. Hopefully there done by now or closer to smoother roads..Michigan was by far the worst. The seams and repairs made a few area’s sketchy.

    It’s to damm windy here to be trying to puff on one outside. Gusts to 45mph+, I will have to hide in the shed.

    We will be expecting a report back.

    You got the wind too? We are 25-30 mph … not sure about the gust…. But it’s blowing hard that’s for sure.

    First cut of the year. Burning a Diesel Grind with the dark blue band. Pretty good, but a touch bitter. F2740C6C-7046-4840-A712-EAE1198CD72F.jpeg

    Everybody is napping at home, under the guise of mushroom hunting I made a beeline for the woods & found a somewhat calm spot to enjoy this, it’s got a bit of a tight draw.

    Seeing all of this in a patch of young Ash was kind of a bummer though :

    I buzzed mine off yesterday afternoon, mine is looking a bit rough in places. I believe I have a grub problem.

    I usually find the tight spot and roll it around in my fingers to loosen it up.

    I really need to get the tune box fixed in my Gator. It would be enjoyable to listen to a ballgame while out & about having a cigar. One more reason to pump the brakes on cigar purchases for a good long while.

    I didn’t find any mushrooms but did find a few violets for Mama.

    I got home & everyone was gone, apparently they went to her sisters for the evening. I guess I will have to contemplate having another cigar after a while.

    I love all the early spring flowers! Especially ones in the woods. My favorite are red and white trilliums

    I had just lit one of these then the showed back up.

    Mark Twain Novella, it burned very wonky on the first 1/3 -1/2. It was uneven & didn’t want to stay lit. Initially it had nice flavor but was hard to tell after that. Once things evened out & it started burning normally there wasn’t much flavor. I will have to try another one at a different time.

    These will be the lot for a 2-3 days.

    L-R
    Mark Twain Novellas
    Cohiba Red Dot Minis ; I botched ordering these & didn’t get the larger size like the others.
    Cohiba Black Pequenos
    Cohiba Nicaraguan
    Cohiba Blue Pequenos
    Partagras Black Label

    They are 4.1”/4.2” x 34/36 except the little Cohiba Red Dot minis.
