What did you smoke today (NC) II

Afternoon smoke. Cabaiquan Guapos Robust Extra...5.2x50. Been a good while since I've smoked one of these. A bit more kick than remembered. Wrapper feels like a mid-range canvas,burns somewhat better'n it feels. even,slow burning cigar.
No way smoking on front porch,temp 14 F.feels one heckuva lot colder'n that
Unseasonable for mid July.
Stash,reserves,inventory,stock...no matter what I call it,tis real thin,so a pair of these came along at the right time.
Some ordered,slow to show up, don't think hanging about in this weather is good for them.
Once here will have to allow a little thrawing time in the Humidor before smoking.
Have some excellent well aged top shelf cigars that my Secret Santa (Brian) sent me, intend to wait untilI can enjoying smoking those on the front porch.


No pix. Burn time...An Hour and a Half.

Yes Bob, that stick goes wonderfully with rum! I've paired it with scotch, tequila, rum and water, never disappointed.
And it definitely is worth having in your humi. I think that stick had at least 3 years on it. The pepper is a little more aggressive when fresher, but still a great cigar.
So how long did it take? I usually spend about 1.5 hours with it.

Hi Brian,

Forgot to edit/post actual smoking time.

Burn Time was. An Hour and Forty Minutes. Burned as far down as possible.

Drinking a Leinenfkugel Summer Shandy,have tomatch the Beer to the season you know.

Seems,briain that a lot of our fellow Bums smoke faster than you or I.

Fully intended to smoke a Bishops Blend on New year"s Eve.
Things got too durnbusy. Now I'll wait until I can smoke it on the front porch,just need the temps and more importantly the wind to ease off,
bring my little heater out there and devote the time to that cigar it deserves.

Hope the New Year's going very wellfor you and yours.
Cheers,
Bob.

Time rolls along with seldoma mention of Soutern Draws Firethorn...then both Rodwha and your own fine self are burning them.
Could be great minds thinking alike...or fine Burns liking the same...bit of both I reckon.
Unless I'm mistaken the Kudzu is the most popular line from Southern Draw,but Firethorn just hits that sweet spot for me.

Last night I smoked a 5 Vegas Classic Double Corona. It was pretty good for the price - a solid medium-bodied cigar. Finished it off in a MM cob pipe.

Viaje Skull and Bones Fat Man this afternoon to get ready for some football.

Smoked my first Jericho Hill on my "cigar walk" today. First half was fast and much like a filtered cigarette, so uneventful. Second half then settled into some flavor, the notes of which I can never tell anyway. Could be, which I have also found with familiar smokes this week, that the extreme cold is more inhibiting than releasing of the full flavors, and enjoyment, a cigar may have to offer so may try this again under more favorable conditions and see. Going to be in the 50's and above again soon so will wait on other "first-tries" 'til then for a fair shake.

A day late, but happy birthday @WNYTONY !

I'd lost this thing again the last month (I swear I think my cigars come alive at night) and I'm making sure he burns today. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...efc11bd16b.jpg
