    Are those supposed to be similar to La Flor Dominicana’s ? The label looks the same.

    The label sure does look the same and I'm betting it was intentional. But, I've never had a LFD so I can't tell you if they are similar or not.

    Yesterday, I had the habano wrapped. I didn't enjoy it as much as the connecticut wrapped but it wasn't bad at all.

    In the evening, I lit up the maduro wrapped. Of the 3, it was the one I liked least, but again, it wasn't bad at all. The flies were biting (ankle biters) so I cut the smoke short and will finish it today.

    Traveling to Las Vegas for training next week. Says it's going to be hot as all get out. 105° might diminish my desire for a couple of cigars

    They don’t have cigar bars in Vegas?

    Well, I just finished the maduro re-light. It was great!

    I read some of the reviews written for those "BDL" cigars and took them with a grain of salt. I should have ordered them sooner. :handshake:

    They do. I'm staying in the dorm rooms at the training center by the airport. I might venture out to the strip.

    I've had a couple of the "florida man" from the page. IMO, save your money. Both had a harder than normal draw. I had to open up the first one with a finishing nail to improve the draw. I've got to stop reading the review!! Maybe some time will improve them......

    Having a Fugazi tonight. Supposed to taste like an Opus. Never had an Opus so can’t speak for that, but it tastes pretty good. IMG_2171.jpeg

    The Padron was very good. The log lift on the splitter has been a back saver for certain. I’ve been processing a bunch large ash rounds lately and it has come in very handy.
