    I had this Oliva 2nd in Lonsdale with Connecticut wrapper this morning, it was ok but I prefer the Maduro wrappers.

    I was surprised to see how many Oliva 2nds I have stowed away.

    I have been smoking out of this pack of Churchills, they are pretty good.

    These are both Lonsdales

    These Robustos have been resting over a year, I probably better be trying one of them.

    yooperdave can't accuse me of being a high roller with all these 2nds sitting around. :salute:

    Those Maduro Robustos are pretty darn good. Excellent flavor, draw & burn.

    Have not had one but have been eyeing them up. Though admittedly it’s tough to pass up a good pipe on these beautiful spring evenings

    Having an English blend called quiet nights. It’s complex smokey, leathery, and spicy/incense/floral with cool creamy smoke. Highly enjoyable!

    I was in the Gator when I snapped those pics. The dogs lollygagged & pouted around all day while I was splitting wood waiting to go for a ride so I loaded them up so they could go harass some wildlife then made my way back to my vacant chair.

    They hadn’t made it home by 9:30last night but were here this morning holding station between the front door & the pickup.
