    I had the Nicaraguan 2nd ( first cigar on left ) & Oliva 2nd ( middle cigar ) today both were very good. The Nicaraguan 2nd was borderline exceptional, I can’t seem to catch them for sale on Cbid. These are over 1 year rested & the last couple have really been good.

    I am going to fire up the La Gloria Medio Tiempo tonight.

    I got these in the mail today, I am going to give them a couple weeks then fire one up. They have a humidified pack also.

    Anyone interested in a 100 capacity ( 65-75 in reality) humidor ? It’s got some scuffs but works well, I just needed a bit more storage :loco: :crazy::picard:so I bought another 48qt cooler.

    It’s can be yours for the cost of shipping.

    Nice looking humidor. I’m interested but give it a week or two if someone else more deserving turns up let them have it. It would be an upgrade over the second hand drew estate cigar boxes I’m using now.

    It’s all yours, I actually have another one without the top tray & just a bit smaller, it’s allegedly 100 capacity also.

    I had this one tonight, it needs more time or I hope time helps. The truffle butter I had tonight may have had an impact on it, truffles are a bit pungent for my palate.

    I bought this one today, I had very high expectations for it. So far it’s not to impressive.

    I'm glad I didn't buy any. I think one place said something like "remember to remove outer leaf wrapper before lighting" or something like that. :whistle:

    Lol, I removed the outer leave wrapper, I must of forgot to snap a pic of the actual stogie.
    The last 1/2 improved vs the the first half, I may try another one at some point.

    Having this one after doing 35 quart bags of sweet corn this morning We were lacking for hands so only did a small amount, we are going to do some more this afternoon. It’s only supposed to hit 80* today with a nice breeze.

    I enjoyed a maduro perdomo 2 mistakes by a fire last evening and a 5vegas gold during a drive this morning. Those maduros sure do sell out fast.

    I had this one tonight, I was a bit skeptical about a 9” cigar but it had a perfect draw & really good flavors.

    haven’t been on much as life’s just busy.
    Still enjoying a cigar or three a week. Switching jobs/careers in another month so just busy.
    Glad I popped in tonight. Hope everyone is well
