Thank God for reciprocating saws and @WNYTONY for the smoke to take advantage of a nice day:

Having half a Brohiba tonite, first cigar in a while - been cowering from the cold wx lately, but it's warming up today.
Why only half? Quality control issue. Some of them have draw issues, so I don't hand those out (reputation to uphold here, ahem). But of course I'm too cheap to relegate them to the scrap bag either, so I attempt to smoke them myself. Cutting a stick in half tends to reduce draw issues by about 50% :)
You may wonder, won't it unravel? No problem, I glue the entire outside edge of the wrapper. MilSpec, baby!
It was almost 80* today down here. Plenty of room in Texas last I looked outside...Quote:

Getting a little break from the cold here as well, it's it's a comfortable 55 right now. Supposed to be in the 70's this weekend!

In France, Lyon, I think it was, the evening before a big Bike race the parking lot and street around the Sporthotel were the racing team and Press were staying team were staying, most of the Autos had their wipers up and waving, with little, think Christmas tree, attached lights, lit. Plus indicator lights bliinking. Just in case someone hadn't noticed all the team equipment and TV Vehicles. Good food there plus Champagne breakfast before the start of the race.Quote:

That just makes the "twins" shake. Have you considered asking the wifey to go clean the garage for a few hours while you enjoy your cigar in the house? I tried, but it went over like a turd in the punch bowl at the Christmas party......Quote:

Never smoked in the house, but I need to go to the lounge more in this weather. The garage was warm, and the cigar was great.Quote:

On a positive note, they do seem to be well constructed and the burn was near flawless.Quote:

The heat coupled with the high humidity makes the summers horrific. We (mostly me) refuse to camp during the summers. Fall to spring it's on though. I've camped in the 20's in January having the whole state park to myself once before. A park ranger checked on me in the AM and PM each day and eventually had me ride along with him around the park. Cool guy!Quote:

We've been hoping to find a month to walk a portion of the Appalachian Trail and would possibly be in or around VA or maybe NJ as my aunt lives up that way and is a lot of fun to hang out with and would probably find a way to go out with us for a portion of it.
Noontime Thursday's cigar.Crux Niinfamaniac Natural...7x33. This is a cigar that leaves no doubt about the skill required of the rollers.
The construction is spot on ,blend of tobaccos all of these elements come together to deliver an extremely even burning cigar.
One that needs no touch ups or relights. Smoked slowly, as it should be, it delivers pure smoking pleasure start to finish.
Burn time: An hour and thirty four minutes.
