This afternoon I had a 7X52 Cuban Crafters Cabinet cigar.:stogie: This cigar has been resting in my 65% rh humidor since 9-2-2012. After lighting this cigar I got chocolate, leather, and spice with a great balanced delicious complex flavor.:wave: This cigar exuded that deep mustiness of aged tobacco that I love. The construction of this cigar was excellent with no difficult veins, razor sharp burn and excellent draw; dang-it I still have half a box left and I cannot think why I have waited so long.:idunno: I sat back and sipped on this cigar 2hours 15 minutes allowing the delicious wispy smoke to curl around my nose; I was in ecstasy!:shocked: I topped off this smoke with a large mug of hot coffee and this has been a "Cigar Event".:yes!:
@Her only let me take 1 cigar to smoke in her truck...Quote:

Been sitting on this one awhile, and it was dated Jan '14 when I got it from an unknown fella here from the SE. As Avo's Classics have been my favorite available stick and the one I compare others to I figured this had to be a treat. I wasn't disappointed at all. Wow!!!

Thanks waskily wabbit!
New World Connie with two IPA'S great afternoon!
My Father CT...
These just seem to get better and better, this one is about 2 years old and smoking like a dream.
This is one of the nicest days we've had in 6 months, about 72 and sunny. Perfect!
And in a first-ever event, a woman walked by on campus here and told me how good it smelled! Smells like fall, she said. Couldn't agree more.

Royal Gold Kismet. Pretty good smoke, and surprisingly complex.
CAO Pilon corona. Were I more sober, I'd offer some thoughts on the taste...however, I've had a few, and stupidly choosing the nightmares that'll come from drinking and watching American Sniper
Perdomo Small Batch half Corona. Very mild and mellow cigar that has underlying hints of spice and wood. Need to burn a second to get a better opinion.
Perdomo Mini Cigarello Maduro...Stronger than the medium flavor review that Cigar Boss gave it IMHO, but mellow in flavor. Defiantly has very subtle hints of wood and spice.
Both were smoked with a good buddy just shooting the breeze and enjoying a smoke in the crisp Rocky Mountain air. Today was a good day.
A day,a smoke and as you said: [And in a first-ever event, a woman walked by on campus here and told me how good it smelled! Smells like fall, she said.]Quote:

The smell of burning leaves...now that is the smell of Fall...in my memory.
Now a times, here...law will not permit the bonfires.... ejits...and their fool "Elf n Safety" laws.
Wednesday evening a La Aurora Serie Aniversario 107 Lancero ...6.9 x 40...not one hundred percent of the ring gauge, but 40rg is not far off.
This perfect size (for me) cigar was received in a Bomb from Cardinal. Can't recall ever smoking anything in the La Aurora 107 line.
Now,I've one more cigar I intend to smoke more of. Honestly I am a slow smoker. Seems I smoke slower than the average. here's a timed account
for this Aurira 107 Lancero: lit at 6:30pm...at 5:17pm five inches left to smoke...at 6:33pm there were three inches left...put it down with less than one inch left. so total smoking time one hundred sixty one minutes. Smoked on my front porch watching and listening to the rain falling in the background to some fine sounds from Miles Davis, Sidney Bechet finishing off with a nice taste of wonderfully evocativeand unique Gribouille.
@NeverBend .......there you have it Pete an accurate account of my time spent smoking this cigar today.
Still can not explain how I got so much more time when smoking a much shorter 4.7x48 Quesada Resrva Privada.
The other Quesada R.P.s, tho not timed did not last nearly as long.
Have one more left to smoke...intend to note the smoking time,doubt it'll last much beyond ninety minutes.
Do not like trying to keep track of how long it takes to smoke a cigar.
Usually will be aware of the time I light up the cigar, but then lost in the smoking experience,
and often in some music,fail to notice the time when the cigar 's done.
Just want to smoke a good cigar whilst relaxing.
Only way I know to preserve the tenuous grip on the little sanity I've left.
May I ask the size of that cigar, and how you liked it?Quote:

Think we well have a few more of these rainy Joisey days this week.
So time to enjoy before Winter starts to bite.
It almost blew my mind when she said that - I thought she was being sarcastic at first. She was about 20 years older than me, but if I wasn't married I would have asked for her number :devilgrin:Quote:

2013 Obsidian Box-Pressed Toro with Cafe au Lait (Cafe du Monde chicory coffee). Magnificent day, sunny and 73 degrees. Yum!
Looking to re-order this coffee, $6.70 for a 15 ounce tin, quite reasonable, but shipping on 5 tins adds about $3/tin. I'll figure it out.
Edit: Noticed that I was the last to post, so I just added the edit.
I'm holding off on purchasing any coffee due to some unforeseen generosity :)
Speaking of generosity, Joya de Nicaragua Antano Machito (~4-1/2 x 42-rg). Lovely little corona, thanks @c.ortiz108 !
A donkey-dong of a cigar, the Aging Room M356 Major. I disremember who bombed me with it, but thanks are due!

Enjoy! That coffee goes well with cigars, and with lat blends. :thumb:Quote:

Which gets me going on a pet peeve of mine. If they would allow some prescription burns out west, maybe they wouldn't be spending their summers fighting so many forest fires. I like cigars...Quote:
