    I had a Super Premium Rothschild 2nd this morning while sharpening some chains, it was pretty good.

    I had this Oliva Churchill 2nd after dinner while working on more chains. It was pretty good also.

    Having this Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro tonight, it’s a spicy flavorful one thru the 1st half. It was courtesy of Jake from OPE Forum.

    I am going to have this “Big Beast of Broadleaf” this evening, a Penn Standard. They have been resting for a month or so.

    La Paulina Illumination Lancero

    It was ok, I debated even smoking it as my mood was soured because the dogs were at the neighbors place. I will give them a couple more weeks of rest & try one at a later date.

    Early morning ride means cigar time for this yooper!

    Big mug of coffee and two cigars.

    Oliva series V maduro and the second one was a gurkha class regent.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The oliva was good. that makes 2 out of 5 so they've been 40% enjoyable.

    The gurkha was also good. More mild that the oliva.

    If there wee 2 my father cigars you would reccomend to someone who doesn't like strong cigars but thoroughly enjoys maduro, what would they be?

    I am considering the le bijou 1922 and the opulencia. I mean, my friend is.

    Maybe it just best to get a sampler pack........

    I can’t give you a recommendation on any mild My Fathers but the Ashton Aged Maduros are mild & very tasty.

    Doesn't have to be mild, I just don't want to fight a nicotine buzz.
