    Nothing like some down time and a good cigar.

    Had my 2nd one today. After some time in the coolidor, it seems to have improved. Looking forward to a few more months of improving!

    Took two cigars for the drive today. Rocky Patel Ligero and a Mark Twain.

    Brought two cigars back today. Told you I was cutting back! Grabbed a cup of coffee and didn't have the urge to light one of those cigars. What's it mean? Am I officially healthy? :hair:

    Hope I can keep my hands off them while they age.
    I had a series g maduro this spring that was a few years old.......man, was that one good. Kinda forgot about it in the coolidor. It did age very well and definitely was much better!

    Haven't had a cigar in awhile and I can tell I'm craving one now.....

    Kinda went against my own "rules" but I couldn't wait! Just about right off the truck, I had and enjoyed this one yesterday. Very nice!

    Thought I could feel nicotine starting and would have put it out for later, but the never noticed any more at all. Seemed to be more mild-medium than medium, but whatever strength is is, very nice! Will repeat the purchase! The version I bought were Oliva 2nds series G.

    They were on sale for $30 a bundle....should have bought 2!

    Nice report... I picked up a round of Sungrown RP before my trip to Dennis’s GTG last weekend... didn’t smoke it... but had several Nubs and versions of them (Cain & Diesel)...

    Well, I finally broke down and ordered a box today. Free shipping with a lighter thrown in and a little bit of a sale.
    You know where to get them, but its only for one day! Holts.

    My son in law gave me a Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial Churchill cigar and I loved it, smooth as silk, no head buzz (smoked it to the last 1/2 inch) and a very good burn.
    Let me know what you think of the Ocean Clubs.

    Had my first ocean club on Sat.

    I did not enjoy it. Reminded me of a regular RP Connecticut. I sure do hope again will help.

    That's too bad, I do think the SLR cigar might be my only cigar I will ever buy again, it's hard to find the "perfect cigar".

    That’s the thing about cigars... it’s not always the one cigar that is perfect... a lot of time it’s the environment of that cigar...

    I do know that I have had macanudo cigars before where one smoked great and the next one was packed so tight and the draw so hard it was like trying suck through a pinched off straw.

    All that and tastes are so subjective.

    And for cripes sake, we're talking about cutting down a field full of plants and trying to make them all consistent in taste!!! :loco: :crazy:

    I got stuck behind 2 different guys on my motorcycle that were smoking stogies while they were driving.

    That's about the closest I'll come to stogies. Then I passed them both.

    I agree but I have had cigars (cheap ones in some cases) that smoked very well with a good flavor and they did it consistency. Been looking for a similar type for a while now as those are not available anymore.
    The SLR is the best one I have had in a long time

    Got out and cut some grass today. No wind, mid 70's and no bugs yet.

    Of course when done had to have another cigar.
