Glad to hear she's OK. Looks like she clipped one of the W rails alongside the highway.Quote:

Glad your wife is okay!
She's just upset but unharmed so all is good, thanks.Quote:

I started with harness racing but then moved to thoroughbreds. I was deeply involved with them for over 15 years, less so for 20 years prior, as a breeder, owner and bloodstock advisor. I grew to like the farm life considerably and think that would have been a wonderful place to grow up as you did. Would like to hear more about your horse life if you choose to share.

Been a spell since I've had the time for a cigar. Thank you @AlanS .......

Well it doesn't look like it was a woodchuck ! Glad to hear the only thing with damage is the car bud. With that much damage looks like it could have been much worse......Quote:

I think it was a road sign that was previously hit and not taken of the way (it was on an expressway exit) and the post did the main damage. Sure looks like the car had a giant can opener used on it.

Fought with another Rocky Patel Broadleaf Churchill earlier. They have flavor but I've had consistency problems with all RP marques. Fooled myself when I had a solid 5-pack (robusto) and and bought three boxes of the Churchills. Maybe the stouter rings are better, certainly more firmly packed.
5-Vegas Gold Toro with spring water. I like these, nicely made Ecuadorian CT wrapper sticks, good citrus with some cream and cedar. I wrote a review of Ecuadorian CT wrapped sticks a while back and I'd put these toward the top of the list. Noted that the recent couple of Macanudo Hype Park that I smoked appear to have changed to Ecuadorian CT from Connecticut wrappers, definitely not the same, caught me by surprise but they are deeper and more complex than the 5-Vegas but less bright flavors. For my tastes it's a switch I can live with but there's none of the old Jamaican type taste that was at least hinted at in the Dominican (lightly sweet molasses like the old Royal Jamaican). Don't know if the rest of the Cafe series is using the Ecuador wrapper and not so sure it will fly with long time Mac smokers.

@NeverBend Hate that it happened at all, but I am glad it was only car damage and she was not hurt.
Internet went out on me yesterday, so couldn't post.
I decided to finally give the Liga #9 a try that @jhedrick83 sent me. I was worried I had hyped this stick to much and it wouldn't be what I expected. Well I was wrong, it was really good, I hated to see it end. I did milk it for almost 2.5hours though. Thanks Jesse!

How do you keep things so neat and free of ash! You're my hero.
And that's the best use of Escudo I've ever seen (just kidding).

Giving the Swamp Rat a try for round two tonight. The Candela wrapper definitely tames the campfire flavor but I'm still not a big fan.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...96a6958945.jpg
Padron 2000 in the morning with coffee and an Aging Room Quattro F55 after a nice succulent T-Bone steak in the evening.
A bit late as I smoked this last week, which was sent to me by @Zitro_Joe and paired with Laphroaig 10:

As you can see it was well aged! Thanks Joe!
Had a Balmoral at an outdoor event hosted by one of the local tobacconists. Good time, music, food, company, but the Balmoral didn't move me.
Hey, where is everybody? Did I miss the rapture?
Anyway, having a Rolling Thunder 50 Cal that I picked up today. Never heard of it, but there it was in the walk-in humidor, big as life. Who could possibly not buy a cigar called 50 Cal???
It's not too bad BTW.

Beautiful day today, low 70's slightly overcast couldn't resist having a two cigar day. Decided to give the Chillin' Moose Too a try, I thought it was pretty good, especially at that price. I still like the originals more, but will get theses again to switch things up from time to time

Friday Morning Fuente. Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Flor Fina Doble Tres...5.5x44. WNYTONY very graciously sent me this super smooth cigar to enjoy, and enjoy smoking it I certainly did. Super slow burning cigar to relax with. Paired with some good hot coffee, a fine start to a lucky thirteenth. Many thanks Tony.
Burn time: An Hour and Forty two minutes.

Had an Añejo 46 last night along with a couple fingers of Bacardi Black rum.
I've had these for a couple years. Must've bought them when scrap was exceptionally high because they're pricier than what I'd normally buy. Sure was good tho...
Smoking this paired with some french roast coffee

Crowned heads Le Careme Robusto to celebrate. Twelve years ago I took my girlfriend, now wife, to Chili's on our first date and wrapped up the night by seeing the movie Doom in theaters.
