Fellow Bums
Everyone knows Monsters are the bees knees of cigars. And they are meant to be smoked, not hoarded and collected. So, break out your Monsters and smoke them! Like last year, I'm going to be (hopefully) smoking at least 31 Monsters during the Month of Monsters. Who will join me on this quest? Full size, Little, Pudgy or Skinny, it doesn't matter. Smoke 'em!
Post any and all Monsters smoked during October here. If it's only 1 for the month or one a day, doesn't matter. Set 'em on fire!
Also, if you have any Monster related discussion items, let's post and discuss them here.
Monster #1 was a Skinny Jekyll for me
Personally, I'm aiming to smoke 1 each of the Skinny (10), 1 each of the Pudgy (8) and 1 each of the full size Monsters I have (4 - Mummy, Jason, Jekyll, and Hyde). I don't have any Littles anymore, I smoked them all. So that is 22. Will fill in with 9 random Monsters to get to 31!

Don't forget, there is actually an award for this as well. So far only Mr. Rockets has it.

So how many Monsters does a Bum have to kill to get a shiny new button?

By definition, one a day. There may be an argument to be made for 31 in total.

That's a LOT of Monsters. I only smoke 2-3 cigars a week, so I won't make it. But I know I have several stashed away somewhere and will have a few this month.

Unfortunately I don't have any monsters, still kicking myself for passing on the skinnys when my B&M got them in. I'm rooting for you again though Jeremy!

The S&S list got announced today (of which I'm not a member) - so I'm sure those dickweeds will buy them all before the rest of us get a shot at them.

Smoking a full size Jekyll this beautiful evening for #14. Hyde has really gotten better over the last year. I didn't care for it much at first but I dig it now.

When your daughter wakes you up over an hour and a half before your alarm is set to go off to help look for her slipper that is already in her bed, what do you do? You enjoy your favorite cigar for #21. Pudgy Frank is needy though. It needs to be smoked with a hot class of Cafe Au Lait. Otherwise you're not doing it right.

Well, if it's in honor of me, it'd probably be a 10 incher, if you catch my drift.
Had a Skinny Jason last night for #24

I've got today off and for whatever reason woke up at the ungodly hour of 3:30 am. So what did I do? Smoked the Monster who would be up at that time - a Pudgy Drac for #30. Then I kept the party going at 5 am with a Skinny Jason for #31.

Our local shop Rudy's finally had their first Tatuaje/My Father event and it was awesome! Dan from L'Atelier was there too. It was a blast.

I smoked my Krueger Saturday night for #38. I'm going to let the rest of mine sleep for a bit and revisit. Seems like with some rest they will be fantastic! Was still a tad harsh in the beginning.
Yesterday morning I watched my Bengals end in an unsatisfying tie while smoking a Skinny Face, Pudgy Tiff, full size Hyde and a Skinny Jason for #39, #40, #41 and #42.
October is almost over. One last night to go tonight.
