What did you smoke today (NC) II

[WNYTONY]

What takes you to Kentucky? Can you understand the local scent?

Went to Paducah to visit a friend years ago - he was an engineer for a project that put in footings for a dam or bridge or something... too many years and beers ago!

Visiting my kids and grandkids.
No, I have trouble with some of the locals. But we're in Lexington which isn't too far from the Ohio border so there are some I can understand.

Just got home from celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I'm a lucky man to have such role models.
Figured tonight warranted something nice, so I pulled out an Anejo 888. To 50 years!!!!!!

Amazing.

It was. I have a couple more various Churchills along. If it's hot tomorrow I'm going for a repeat performance. Don't hope to match that LADC but you never know...

Looks pretty awesome.

Very good cigar. My fav of the MOW lineup. Needs considerable rest to mature but, once done they’re spectacular

This afternoon I sucked all available smoke out of an LADC Mi Amor Churchill.

I bought a sampler of these a while back that contained a couple of several different vitolas. However the first of these Churchills whipped my arse with nicotine and made me its bitch. Needless to say, I was loath to unleash the fury of the second one upon my unsuspecting constitution. However, today I was looking for a nice long smoke so I shucked off the amber colored cellophane and nibbled a hole in the cap like an unsuspecting rat about to be poisoned.

It was 89° in the Union today. I smoked this cigar while sitting in an inner tube, with my dog, in a river, tied off to some snagged flotsam, beneath a bridge, during a thunderstorm.

It was wonderful.

Not only did the LADC MI stay rich and chocolaty to the very end, it also did a noble job of keeping the mosquitoes and black flies at bay. To accompany the cigar, and to prevent dehydration, I selected a Rochester Mills, Milkshake Stout, and also a Saugatuck Brewing, Bonfire Brown Ale. Both paired well as I knew they would since I like stouts with cigars in general.

Toward the end, the stick decided it would rather tunnel than burn. However, a couple good purges persuaded the wrapper to ignite once again . Here's the interesting part; the purge had an oily, creosote-like smell that brought me back to the railroad yards we used to play in (occasionally - it wasn't legal) when we were kids. I purged it several more times just to get that smell, determined to burn this thing till it went out of its own accord. In the end it did... at about 1/2" long. I'd say I nubbed it.

This was a most enjoyable smoke. I'm going to have to look for a box of these. Maybe not Churchills, but I understand they offer a lancero...

Check out the Magnifico size. My favorite in the line. They also do awesome with age.
