Edgar Hoill Cultura and black coffee this morning on the walk to work.
2013 J. Fuego Origen Toro Maduro with chicory coffee au lait, Beethoven's 5th and a drizzly, dark day.
Nice looking wrapper. Tight draw - rolled a little tight and with the ambient moisture that won't improve without my intervening (that may happen).
Maduro, even tight, is superior to the forgettable natural version of this stick.
Today's round 2, E.P.C EL 2012 with some Dead Guy.

Had a shitty day today so as soon as I got home I poured a glass of Scotch on the rocks and had an Alec Bradley Nica Puro.
Darn good smoke. I can breath now.
Got two to smoke tonight. First a Perdomo squared Maduro. Followed up by a Nub Maduro. An excellent night to be alive!
Avo Movement TAA each one gets better and better, I should buy more boxes of these.

Just one of the odd ones I guess, smoking on the porch, raining, but have done the same with other Cervantes without these problems. Have to try something else shortly.
2013 La Gloria Series R Robusto (grande?) with a bit of sake.
Missed Tatuaje Tuesday so making up for it tonight with some Black Corona Gorda goodness

Due to a warm front coming through Portland, I am having my Fuente Friday now (counts for the east coast I guess).
Gran reserva, green band. I still need to study up a bit on all the Fuente labels!

Flor Del Valle Las Bumas..4.5x48 Good start to the day.
The Griffin's Robusto. Last of the chicory coffee, mixed with New Mexico Pinon (Thanks Chico), about 50% of each coffee and it works, benefits from both. Colder this am than it's been in a week.
Not really sure how old, these old sticks are, but they're old. Been trying to fix their shortcomings with age but that's a fool's errand. Speaking of fools, shortcomings and errands, the years have evaporated my shortcomings and I do have urgent errands but I delay to write this post.
The Griffin's was like a pre-boom Graycliff, a hyped, over priced, private label offering. Taste is indistinguishable from cheap H. Kelner bundles that are, at least, honest in price, and you won't have to spend decades 'ageing' them to see if they get any better, cuz they don't.
Here is my full review of The Griffin's Robusto:
I think I still have one more left. Perhaps I'll take off the label and give it to someone as a blind test (yes I know the review is blank - just as it should be).

Smoking a Tat Pudgy Wolf and a Tat Pudgy Tiff second tonight

First one, look forward to smoking the other 4, compliments of Mr. Saka.
2013 CAO Black Churchill with Diet Pepsi, air cooled. Hope to see my granddaughter tomorrow. I'm going to take her to the dollar store and give her $2. She can buy two items, or I'll put $2 in her piggy bank for each dollar that she doesn't spend. Thus I hope to teach her that money doesn't grow on trees, at the Dollar Tree.
E. P. Carrillo La Historia Dona Elana...6.1x50 On a cold afternoon that a couple cups of java along with this cigar made semm a tad warmer and nicer.
Know that the Griffins are rather well liked by some, but your take on them mirrors mine.Quote:

Maybe they're just a variety of mild whose flavour changes are too subtle for me to note.
Jericho Hill .44S...5.125x44 Just set alight, haven't had one of these in three weeks and wondering if I'll note any changes since smoking that one ROTT.
2013 La Gloria Serie R Robusto with Hawaiian coffee from Wayne (@OnePyroTech). Clear, chilly morning. Will pick up my granddaughter in a while. Looking forward to a happy day with her.
while haulin water to make a buck today I smoked a Rockey Patel Honduran Torpedo Maduro

Arandoza White Label Double Corona...7.25x49. About to ignite this one, attractive wrapper shade,good tobacco smell,nice weight, neither too soft nor too hard. Sure looks like full growed Churchill cigar. Time to see if there's any kick to it.

It occurred to me that once you remove the band from a cigar, it's just a cigar. So today, that's what I'm smoking, a cigar :)

OK, it's a Cain Habano, the kind with the band around the foot. And now I see that my photography skills leave something to be desred...

The last of my Acid Route 10's. Not sure I'm sad to see it go, but I couldn't waste it!
Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine.
