    I stopped by the Leaf Brothers in Waukee on my way home & snagged one of these, it was a pretty good cigar.

    This was a pretty darn good cigar. More unrecognizable flavors but pleasant & enjoyable, slow even burn.

    It was a short & fat cigar so maybe this one had hippo crap in it, idk.

    I gather that you are "bug free" when you're enjoying a cigar?

    Pretty much, there is an occasional moth or June bug. The skeeters were bad about 3 weeks ago but pretty non exist around the house now.

    I usually try to have 2 of these on also. They are cordless & usually last about 10-12hrs.

    I have also noticed a couple of bats floating around at night & we have about 50 barn swallows that seem to have a feeding frenzy every morning about dawn & in the evenings about dusk.

    Having this one & another cup of this, this morning. The hay won’t be dry enough to rake until around 10:00 - 11:00, the air is pretty soupy feeling.

    Now I just need to quit acquiring tongue bite from my cigars & pipes so I can enjoy them more.

    Well when you figure out the trick for that let me know. I usually only smoke my pipe a few 2-3 times a week & I still battle tongue bite sometimes.

    It's good to see you're able to enjoy your cigars and pipes again, Jim.

    I too, fight tongue bite. I never would've thought there was such an "art" to smoking pipes, and cigars, when I started smoking, but there sure seems to be, at least for me. Finding that balance is elusive at times.

    Enjoy your weekend, fellas.

    Good cigar, but just a bit too warm to truly enjoy it.

    I must be in the garden spot, it’s low 70’s here & a nice southerly breeze has moved the humidity out.

    Having the last Bongani from the 3 pack, so far this one hasn’t been near as good as the other 2.
