    Had one of the Tabak especial dulce today. Boy was it tasty while mowing the yard. Best of all it was given to me.

    This cigar had an easy draw, lasted me around an hour & twenty minutes, had some interesting flavors & put Drew Estates to shame on the smoke output; not only just sitting with foot smoke but on the draw also.

    After you sent me that package, I made a list of what I liked.

    I was hauling corn today & most likely going to start planting again tomorrow & Mama went south to watch the grandkids. So I am going to have one of these after a bit.

    That’s what I was looking for today, but the shop didn’t have those.

    I am going to have one of these while listening to the ballgame.
    Gurkha Governor’s Private Blend.
    Gordo 6” x 60

    Of coarse the wind would pick up as soon as I park my arse in the lawn chair.

    I got just a touch of 2 hours out of this one, it had lots of smoke output, some mild flavors & good burn. Hopefully some more humidor time will help them out. I believe they have been in the humidor for about 3 weeks.

    Those have routinely been a decent one for me.

    I know, it’s ugly & sloppy. That’s the 1st thing I noticed about the cigar. It looks like 5 to me.

    I looked thru my Montecristo cigars & most of them seem to have sloppy caps, not quite as sloppy as the one I initially photographed but still sloppy. I think the Maduro wrappers are the most noticeable. I think that first was a bit more noticeable because I had slobbered on it. ( or not that was pretty fugly ) The White Label #3’s seem to have the best caps.
