Yeah I had ordered some pipes and pipe tabacco from cbid and it got lost. They resent the whole order but not in time for my Christmas stocking. .
It is some nice weather. Just got done with some yard work. Should have picked a longer cigar for a longer break.
Now that we are back on line… lol. It’s an Oklahoma Joe’s . It seems okay, just has about a 45 minute start up time to settle in, kinda of weird. It also has you drain the pellets out of the hopper after every run on shutdown. I guess it’s not smart enough to just blow out the pot and call it good. But for the GF’s Back deck it’s the right size.
I had my last of the "mystery cigars" yesterday. A 5-pack was gifted to me. Story is that a guy went to DR and bought some cigars from a "popular shop" (street vendor?). He gave some away and then some of those found their way to the U.P. 5 cigars; one maduro and 4 were habano (or similar wrappers). They were all unbanded long filler with good construction. Maduro (yesterday's) started unpleasant then got better. then, by the 2nd half, got worse. The first 2 habano wrapped (?) were very good; I was surprised that I enjoyed them. The next 2 were OK. It would have been nice to know more about them. ...................rambling over.............
I had an oliva V melanio but with the sumatra wrapper this evening. Man o man, was it ever a great cigar!
