    This one was just ok, it didn’t like to stay lit & burned unevenly. Some of the unevenness was from driving the gator while smoking it but it never did correct itself & didn’t burn even after a touch up while picking. Probably just need to stick to Drew Estates while picking simply because of the smoke output.

    I have no idea what the hold up is on my order from Thompson’s. I guess I will have to call them again, I sent an email but haven’t heard back. I was looking forward to trying those RP Dark Dominions & AJ Fernandez Empress of Cubas.

    Yes, I did enjoy it. Sat on the dock bench briefly and then tended the fire after it was lit. When the raindrops began to show up, I went to the covered deck and had the rest of it.

    After a call to Thompson’s they said that my order was ready to ship out, I will be getting an email to confirm. I will believe it when I see it, that’s what they said a week ago.

    I told my son I was looking at buying a handgun, he showed up with a nice selection to try out this morning.

    The Outlaw Cigar and Brewery held a Cigar and Whiskey party this afternoon. With Hiram and Solomon Cigar's and Angel Envy Whiskey... Most of my work guys came out for a couple of hours to relax and BS... I picked up a selection of H & S Cigars to sit in the humidor to try later on. A proceed goes back to the Shriners and they offer a Cigar for the Troops. But tried a Master Mason Gavel (5x60) while I was there. Never heard of them or tried them. Was impressed with it. Pretty good burn and flavor. May never get them again, not sure where they are sold. But I did talk to the Brand Ambassador for a bit.

    Well, I can’t top Chvymn99, I am trying one of these this evening. Initial impressions are that they need more humidor time.

    No photo of the San Cristobal.

    The San Cristobal was a nice smoke as was the Arturo Fuente but this La Nox is great.

    Never heard of LFD La Nox... I know the LFD Double Ligero Chisel is a favorite sit down and relax cigar. It packs a punch... Read some reviews on that La Nox it too is suppose to up that alley... but limited production... mmm may have watch out for them.... Thanks.

    I bought that one up to Weston at the cigar shop. I have a box of the LFD Double Ligero Chisel but haven’t had on yet.
