    I took that route once with the semi, there was a lot of shifting climbing the east side but my legs weren’t burning like they were on the bicycle.

    What type of cigars do you like ? Any favorites ?

    Only recently got back into cigars. 10 plus years ago I would buy singles here and there but nothing that would stand out as a favorite. Now I’ve got cooler full of samplers, five packs, and a couple boxes. I’ve been enjoying probably the nubs the most.

    I had this one earlier while it was thinking about raining. I was unimpressed with the cigar & the amount of rain.

    I bought a box of these for twenty some bucks about a month ago. Only reason to smoke them is to clear room for better cigars. Cardboard tube and cotton balls might have more flavor. 90909967-E50B-47EA-AB8F-3F438BAE4656.jpeg

    That sounds about like the review I gave them. Those are lawn mowing/odd job cigar, your not to disappointed if you set it down & forget about them.

    Knocked 3 brands off my list, from the poll I did asking y'all for your top 3. Camacho Ecuador, and got a sampler just cause. La Palina Maduro, just got a sampler. I also got some ITC brands, but didn't get the Emerald Toro yet. Everything I picked up was on Free Fall.

    Brand name is Big Frig. Got it as a company gift but it’s to small for most family functions. It does have a good seal, so it makes a decent humidor.

    I don’t believe I have had a Lionheart but I have sampled most of the other Ave Maria’s. They improve with age in my experience.

    The wife already thinks I’m ridiculous for one coolador full, so another is a non starter in my house. If and when I upgrade or expand storage, it’ll probably be a thermoelectric climate controlled unit. I’m not great at running the ac, so a clevelander or a needone is probably in the near future.
