    Nancy still has an occasional cough, I would imagine her nightly cigarette or two aren’t helping it. :hair:

    My body aches are gone, just a bit of sinus drainage going on so I appear to be in good shape. Maybe by middle of next week I will be contemplating having a cigar.

    Thanks for the concern fellas.

    I had two yesterday. I ordered these long long time ago and hadn't even opened the bundle. It was the corona 6 x 44. Meh......

    Then, I gave one of these another chance. The short rest (month or so) I gave them did them very good! :yes:

    The one I had was very enjoyable. :thumbs:

    This morning I can breathe thru both nostrils. Other than the stuffed up head I was feeling pretty good. We have been doing a lot of hay.

    Some of you gents are slacking a bit on cigar reviews. I am shooting for Monday on having a cigar, my sinuses are starting to clear up so that’s a good thing.

    Grabbed a box of these and couldn't wait to find out just how disappointed I would be for making that decision. It was comparable to the first padilla maduro fumas I had. Based on that, I'll let them rest and give another review a bit later. It was a bit harsh for my tastes about 1/3 the way through.

    I feel such shame :faint:

    I did have that “cost effective” sweet cigar I had you send, and thought it smoked ok, but sure wasn’t near the same ballpark as the tabak especial’s I’ve got. Was hopeful I could enjoy a similar cigar and still be my cheap self. oh well.

    Headed to a winery for food, drinks, and live music and put a couple in my to go box in case it seems appropriate to enjoy one or two this evening.

    I am planning on stopping by a cigar shop this evening if things work out, I am taking Mama out for supper. Maybe if things work out we can find some live music if not I won’t be disappointed.

    No, down off of a spillway. Thursday they backed the water release off from 1000 CFM down to 300 CFM... I caught a channel yesterday, was going for Flatheads. Ended up with a Diesel Shorty and a Alex Super something...

    Ended my afternoon with a Java. I was happy with it. Not too sweet but good flavor. And slightly less than the especials.
    Thankful for a bit cooler day and beautiful evening.

    I had 1/2 of a SweetTip Connecticut this evening, that was a mistake. My head is plugged up again & I have a headache coming on. I knew better than to have cigar…
