Sunday's first smoke Mr. Brownstone Smack 6x52 Maduro. Little uneven burn line when first lit, self corrected. Larger than my usual choice ring gauge , but not a bad smoke, lots of smoke, good draw. Burn time right at an hour and a half.
First one from the box.

The Brits swear by these and I’ve always been curious so I bought one for the outrageous price of $1.50 out of curiosity. It definitely doesn’t taste like your average machine made cigar. It’s a good maduro and I could see myself enjoying a couple with a hot coffee. I just love the packaging.

Casa Cuba Doble Seis while driving 40 miles into Kansas for some Chicken Annies fried chicken which sits in the middle of nowhere. It's been in business since 1934 and it's well worth the drive. The German slaw and German potato salad is killer. In modern speech, its fire.

But it had construction issues. It soon after lighting began to split and flake as though it was dry and crispy, and the middle was squishy, not firm like a properly rolled cigar should be:

I’ve often heard duck (and other water fowl) are a love it or hate it thing. What do you do with your duck?Quote:

On the grill it's not for anyone that likes their meat well don that's for sure, and probably why it gets a bad wrap.Quote:

Sounds pretty dadgum good to me! I’ve just heard it said water fowl has a muddy taste. But then I’ve heard people not liking venison and hog as it’s gamey, which I disagree with. Maybe it’s in the prep work and/or how it’s cooked. To each their own maybe. Guess I need to give it a try. There’s some swans in our lake that people dislike... 😈Quote:

They then send you a certificate of achievement actually as the bands are pretty rare and they appreciate you reporting it. I posted because it doesn't happen that often and when it does it's a pretty cool thing.Quote:

It also is some secret as the filler and the binder on every site I read is listed as unknown. The wrapper is Cameroon and it does have a bit of spicieness but it's not overpowering like a Pepin of sorts. It was really good with a great even burn.
Dry cured and no need for humidificationQuote:

I have caught a few tagged fish, except you have the option to return them to the water. Similarly, you can get information on where and when it was tagged, size at time of tagging, and if it had been caught and reported before.Quote:

Got this little gem from @WNYTONY a couple years back and have been sitting on it. Heard they hit way above their price point back then and I am not disappointed!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7ff622064.jpg

Yes, it is a federal program for sure. The entire duck season and all that goes along with it is a Federal deal, the states have to decide how to use/enforce it. So in other words the Federal level says you are allowed 60 total days of duck hunting in your state. The NY DEC then tries to figure out how to break up those days into seasons. While the state may do the banding it's all ultimately part of the federal program for the overall picture of all the flyways.Quote:
