    I like them. Good cigar at a great price. All the tobacco comes from the same growing plot.

    I was thinking it was something like that. I remember seeing a video of Nick Perdomo talking about the brand. A lot of folks seem to like them.

    My breaks from stacking usually last a couple weeks or so, at least. Lol When I was on vacation at the end of '23, I took down 2 trees, bucked, split, and had it stacked, within a week. Not sure what caused that, but that was an anomaly.

    Looks like a good way to spend the break.

    Edit: It's nice out west today too. 65 degrees and not much of a wind.

    KSPlainsman we'll be expecting a review of those perdomo anniversary maduros......


    I had a la palina 90+ maduro seconds and a CI coffee on sunday afternoon.

    I don't know what was used to flavor/coat the ci coffee but man, it's been months and months (years) since I got them and the cellophane that they are in is nothing but brown! The coating must be coming off!

    I smoked them in my fish shack.....way too much 2nd hand smoke for me. The little wood stove I have in there warmed it up to 74 inside the shack.

    Still waiting for my order from the page that I placed a week and a half ago.......

    I guess if I'm lucky, they could be here tomorrow but probably on fri.....:picard:

    I placed another order; hope this one does better. :handshake:

    Order arrived yesterday..................finally! No telling if the other one shipped yet since the temperamental usps site is not functioning again.

    Yesterday's ride resulted in the last one of a 5-pak I bought quite some time ago. Out of the 5 of these, I enjoyed one, I had them for some time as evidenced by the stained cellophone .

    Had a Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro on the way back yo town today. Fantastic cigar! Lots of flavor, but not spicy. I'll be buying a box of these. Thanks Jim.

    With the warmer temps, the blower motor isn't currently running.

    So............I am enjoying a Free Will in my basement workshop with only the fart fan being able to exhaust the smoke. No complaints from 99 lbs who is watching TV upstairs........yet!

    About 1/3 done and I likey! Whoever it was that recommended these, thanks! :handshake:

    I have tarps from the ceiling sectioning off a 5' X 8' area just over the workbench. The fart fan is above the bench and exhausted to the outside (of course). Seems to work well enough.

    ..........well, I made it to the 1/2 way point before the "alert" was sounded from upstairs. Free Will is out.


    Guess I need a stronger fan. :rofl: :lol:
