Then on the back 9 a Kauai Island Prince from Hawaii that penna stogey bombed down on me

and ending this fine day with an Illusione MK Ultra that I snagged in a pass somewhere back in time.
3 awesome smokes - a very good day.

Be back tomorrow with a brand new show......

Numbers 35 and 36 going down now. First a Nat Sherman Host Maduro. I'm very excited to try this. A Rosalones by JdN.

Get your singles in bums. We'll be done on June 14th!

Old pic, but I didn't take one today, and I smoked the same cigar in the same lounge, using the same ashtray and sitting on the same couch...so this is basically as good as having taken a new photo today. Fume d'Amor lance, my personal breakout star of '16.

My first cigar of this fine day was given to me by my daughter, who went to a shop and said "my dad likes cigars, can you help me". So of course - I now have to smoke what the shop guy sold her and she gave to me. So in tribute to Mr. Rockets and with thanks to my poor misguided daughter for the effort

A freakin' Gurkha ! Band says Private Select Abuelo and it was a whopping Churchill. No, it was not great and no I would not recommend it, but thanks to this 30 days of singles I now have it out of my possession forever. I had stuck it in a tupperwear and I'm not sure if it was the wax or what but it smelled funny and now the tupperwear smells and I may need to get rid of it.

My second (aka the back nine cigar) was an El Triunfador No 4 and that happily restored my faith in cigars :yes:

And tonight I'm just nubbing out an A Flores Gran Reserva Half Corona that is an excellent small cigar.

#'s 47, 48 and 49 in the books.

Sunday afternoon front porch smoke. El Triunfador Lanceros courtesy of a highly explosive Bomb by Merovius. Two hours and sixteen minutes of pure smoking pleasure this gem from Tatuaje bore a date of 7-25-15, my thinking that in terms cigar years this was of an age to be enjoyed, was I ever right there, no long detailed notes, but it was a real treat indeed. Thanks Tyler.

Alright, put me down for 23! Over the weekend I enjoyed a few more sticks. First was the Skinny Frank, which was great construction aside. I've always had issues with Tat lanceros until the Chuck and Tiff. I thought maybe it was just bad luck, but after the Frank I think it may just be Tat lanceros. Still a great cigar.

Followed that up with an AB Prensado that I've been wanting to get rid of. I've always appreciated that cigar, but I'm not paying full price for an AB stick.

Last night I had a Padron 64 natural. I like the naturals quite a bit more than the maduro, but I still just can't understand the hype. There are 1000 better cigars that can be had twice for the price of one Padron. Regardless, a good smoke. Not Opus price worthy, but enjoyable I suppose.

Caldwell - The King Is Dead seemed appropriate for #50 tonight.

[allusred]

Tho doomed from the start to fall far short of His Excellency Sir. Dog Rockets decreed, sorry...Royal Decree 30 days of singles. Failing to even achieve the minimum one a single each day.Getting in this: La a Perla Habana Wide...5.5x62. Courtesy of Kayla. She sent this cigar all unawares of my diminitive and sadly frail self. As expected this Torpedo (well named) puts out clouds of smoke as soon as lit. Fortunately it's neither a nicotine bomb or of powerhouse strength, perhaps a mild/medium ? Did not mention it puts out a great deal of smoke? Luckily a fan helps and I'm able see the screen. With my Groundhawg urging me, in his weirdly light tenor voice to "Press on,press on the shore is but o'er the horizon." He does have a rather quirky turn of phrase oft times.I continue. Luckily a bowl of Guiness has silenced Groudhawg's Falsetto voice for the nounce I'm able to better appreciate the smoking experience this La Perla Habana affords.Ah,Groundhawg is off now to sleep,perchance to dream of...no best leave that alone.I have tried, Sir. Dog Rockets, I have given my best to be in compliane with your Loyal decree, so beg your vaunted mercy, tho thirty was beyond me.

I was out of town over the weekend and didn't have great service. I smoked a Tat PCR, Nica rustica short robusto, and a Warped La Hacienda

My final entry into the 30 Days of Singles challenge - number 38 is a La Barba Purp from lvfcrook1503. I don't know anything about these other than it gives Jimmy a mild boner every time he smokes them. Also pairing it with a nice pour of bourbon on National Bourbon Day!

Well, we made it bums. The end of our 30 days is tonight. Get your singles in!

Crawlin towards the finish line. CLE Corojo Corona...5.75x46. Guillotine cut this near toro size cigar that sports an attractive wrapper adorned with a classy band that is easily removed due to the Judicious amount of glue employed. Easy light open draw, big smoke production and smooth retrohale, all of which says top quality Honduran tobacco. Would likely have remained totally unaware of this cigar had not WNYTONY have sent it in a Bomb, along some excellent coffee. drinking a cup of that right now.A great big thank you for that Bomb Tony.

[c.ortiz108]

I've alost never smoked the same cigar twice, so I've kind of been doing this for years. Fun idea, though!

Glad to hear you liked it Bob. I grabbed a fiver on auction mainly because of the size and they were at a great price and they really surprised me with the both the quality of the stick and the smoke.

For me on this final day - #51 a Tatuaje Verocu #4 - the robusto size. Excellent, excellent cigar

and closing it out tonight at #52 a L'Atelier MAD44 - a nice smaller stick to close this down.

It was fun Mr. Rockets but I'll happily go back to mixing them in every few days.
Tomorrow night I welcome back Padron !

[DogRockets]

For real? That's pretty crazy!

Well bums, our 30 days has passed us by. There were many times I had wanted to reach for something familiar. Many, many times. But I'm glad that many cigars I'd just been holding onto, were finally enjoyed. I found a few new favorites, found some I now know I don't care for, and said goodbye to my last sticks of some of my favorites.

Thanks for traveling on this singles journey with me!

[BrianWilliams]

Bums, I apologize for my absence during these 30 days. I had a Gurkha His Majesty's Reserve all ready to go, you know, the most expensive cigar in the world, but I am hot on the tail..er trail of a new lead story. Let's just say, it involves little Brian interviewing Hillary's Clintoris on a nightly basis.

[Ciro]

13 out of 30 not to shabby! Thanks for putting this together Jeremy.

Just this once
Once..only once
Jeremy, all joking aside...thanks for this great idea, and for the polls, certainly add a touch of, if not class, at least insanity that's much needed even on Cigarbum.
Organizing that March upon Cigarfest, was another good one.

[c.ortiz108]

Kind of an exaggeration, but yeah - thanks to cbid and forum bombs/trades I've ended up with mostly singles. Keeps things interesting for sure!

Sounds like you're in a rut, or a butt not sure. Butt you should run, and run very fast......
Don't forget your cigar if you still want it....

[TreySC]

Today is the last day of the decree right? Either way I'm getting one more in.
