    Things got rolling over a a couple weeks ago for some. My brother got about 800 of his 3700 acres in but then it got cold & then this week was upper 90’s with ridiculous humidity so nothing was really drying.

    A few planters started Tuesday, things really starting to move today but guessing at more rain tonight.

    I should have about 200 acres of corn done for my buddy in a couple hours then moving to his neighbors. We started Tuesday.

    I believe Chase has around 1500 acres & his neighbor has around 550. I will most likely plant until it starts raining tonight.

    If Chase would get a tractor auto steer then I could really kickback, relax & enjoy the ballgames & some cigars. :smoke:

    Those foil packs seal up pretty good. I did modify a little cooler for field use though. Cut a couple pieces of oak & hot glued them in so I could put small cooling packs on one side & cigars on the other. Just refreeze the packs at night & choose my cigars for the day.

    The Partagas was very good, it’s the second one I have had. I would like to acquire some full sized sticks at some point to sample them.

    The Drew Estate was good also but maybe a bit to heavy on the smoke for being in a tractor cab. :smoke:

    I could crack the window going south but going north the dust was terrible & the flies coming in were ridiculous.

    I bought a box of these awhile back and forgot about the. Had one last evening and one again today while setting minnow traps. For being a cheapo they are surprisingly good! :handshake: Glad I got them.

    Right? It was quite some time ago that I got them and don't even remember why I didn't order maduro wrappers.

    OK, thanks on that. I've been debating over them for a few months now.
