Cigars??

Enjoying a break in the heat & humidity having an Olive 2nd & enjoying listening to the birds. It was 84* with 83% humidity but now low 70’s* with upper 60’s humidity & a nice light breeze. We had 2.35” of rain last night/this morning.

Edit : not really enjoying the woodpecker that is working over the tin roof at the moment…

 

I snagged some Camacho Nicaraguan Barrel Aged & a box of Cohiba Puro Dominicanas Churchills off of CB this evening.

I am pretty excited to try the Camacho’s & very happy with the price I gave for the Cohiba’s. I was really wanting toros or robustos but they only had boxes of Churchills. I gave $97 for the box. Now I just need yooperdave to chime in, rain on my parade & tell that they go down to $85 or something lower…

 

The instances of prices I quote are from days of old. Those deals aren't gonna be here anymore but I do like to remember them now and then. Kinda like gas prices, no?

I hope you give a review of the camachos you grabbed as I was semi-interested in them also.

I am with you on preferring the toros or robustos over the churchills. I wonder if we give up a bit of taste by grabbing the smaller cigars?

Had a couple of those good time's country man this week. It's hard to sit and enjoy a cigar when you are busy swatting mosquitos full time.

More importantly, glad you're feeling well once again!

 

I had this Charter Oak Connecticut Toro this morning while hauling a load of corn. It was ok but I liked the Rothschild Maduro better.

 

I also had this Kristoff Kristonia while going to pick up my Gator from the shop. It was ok, nothing to write home about.

 

I am having a Ramone Allones Small Club Corona this evening & going to use my new cigar accessory. This stogie has a super tight draw.

 

So I am sitting here looking over my orders, I thought I ordered a 10 pack of
Alec Bradley Tempus Nicaragua Quadrum
But I have qty of 2 - 10 packs coming…

In thought I bought a 10 pack of the Camacho Nicaraguan Barrel Aged but I have Qty of 2 - 10 packs coming… I sure hope I like them.

 

Check your order over once again. Maybe they substituted something?

 

After I the first 1/3 or so of the Ramon Allones came to life & has good flavor. The perfec tool did its job, pulled out a stem & wad of stuff. It will be about a 1 hour smoke.

 

No, I just fat fingered it when punching buttons.

 

Didn't find any fingernails in there, did you?

 

No fingernails, just a couple of stems & a wad of leaves ; I think…

 

You spin it as you push it in, it cuts as you go. Then just pull it back out, it brings out fines & pieces of tobacco. If you happen to hook a stem it will pull that also but if it’s a nasty one you have to be careful pulling or you can goober up your cigar while holding it & pulling.

 

I am going to have this one this afternoon while it’s nice & nobody is around. It’s a box press. I am prepping for a fire this evening for two of the girls & there families, 2 sister in laws.

 

The La Aroma de Cuba was really good on the first 2/3 then I fell asleep in a chair in the shade with a nice breeze blowing. The last 1/3 was ok, I don’t have much luck with letting them go out & relighting.

 

Yes, it does!

 

Having this Gurka Governor’s Private Blend tonight while the fire burns down. Everyone has cleared out so it’s just me, the fire & the wildlife.

 

Isla del sol Maduro yesterday mowing grass. First one I’ve had and it was nice and sweet but not sickening. Time for a little bush hog time and one of my favorites today.
