How's the Founders? Sounds nice. Coffee brews usually are.

Tabacos Baez SF. Saw some of these in a Supermarket priced around $8.40. Just my opinion, some SF cigars are smoke able, some "taste" pretty good and are not overpriced. Some SF Cubans fit that description, priced right and good tho not overly complex smokes. I tried one of Garcia's Tabacos Baez SF. Couldn't make it halfway. Zero taste, if it had 'decent' tobacco taste might've been worth the match to light it. As I recall there was another tacos Baez Series H. Most likely Habano wrapper,never managed to find any of those. I realize that tastes vary,and My take on the Tacos Baez SF. may very well be completely wrong. However if they're half as bad as the one I did try to smoke (that one may have been lying around for years in extremely bad conditions) it is hard to understand Garcia putting His brand on them. Still I'd give a Tabacos Baez series H a try but not searching for one..
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. This one was only $3 so it didn’t break my heart to give up on it after a few very underwhelming puffs. I figured it had the MF name on it so for that price it was worth a go but just rough tobacco taste. Similar to the Tat Face I had a couple weeks ago that I hated. Live and learn. That Anejo took the bad taste out of my mouth. :)
Evening smoke.
Esteban Carreas Chupacabra Toro 6x50.
While these do not have that "black velvet bag" effect the Mr. Brownstone Smack might suggest, they are not at a bad choice, not a ride on a Hell bound train thing, more of a Taking it easy trip.

Sorry @Tombstone
Ryan, Drifting farther off track. "That Anejo took the bad taste out of My mouth."
The two worst cigars that I have ever tried to smoke were treated in the same way,smoke a good one to get rid of the taste. But and it's one heckuva but. Those two were so bad that the taste didn't fade away quickly. Like a fishhook that can not be ripped out,any time memory of either of the two wakes,it's a tug on that fishhook.
The two were: #1. the highest priced Cuban I've smoked. #2 was one from Don Pepin Garcia.
Good Morning and Happy Sunday!!

Would love to know too.
There is a seldom aired TV series called "Smoke" where the host (Vic) tours cigar operations. I've caught it a couple times on some off-channel (maybe travel channel?) But the Goog is denying me with the terms cigar and smoke being too common.
Up next!!! Thank you @Tombstone

I'm gonna try to get a review up soon. But this stick was awesome. I think this is just a regular maduro. The shop only had two versions available - the maduro and a Ecuadorian CT shade I believe. Lots of vitolas though.
Kinda simple (not a diss), but on-point flavor-wise. Clean maduro taste. Pretty strong peppery spice. Nice leather throughout the retrohale. Dark tobacco residual coats the mouth and is very tasty. It burned pretty wonky and need a couple touch-ups and relights, so I'm gonna let them rest a bit longer. May have just been me though with the burn - was posting a LOT last night during the smoke.

Checking out a brand new lounge that serves cocktails! You wouldn’t likely guess it, but Wichita is a fine cigar town. This is a great addition. It’s a genius concept. Legally you can’t smoke in bars here, so they created a swanky cocktail bar and you can just walk to a lounge area that’s separated by a door. So new, they’re still hanging some signs. Lol. Had to go with an HVC. I’ve heard great things about this Hot Cake. It’s phenomenal. HVC is the best in the business right now.

Looks like Sean and I were on the same page at the same time. I bet that's a tasty one - this one sure is!
Shoutout to The Professor @WNYTONY for the lesson and the stick. Thanks again, Tony! Let's see what the fuss about these HVCs are.Attachment 7823
Just got my first weber set up. Have shrimp with lime and cilantro, hot sausage, venison loin marinated and dry rub, marinated chicken breast, and venison spedies. Starting out with random italian red wine I found at local liquor and a NUBhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ca97abc1d2.jpg

I see a whole lot of artillery in the background, and I’m sure that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Watch out folks, it would appear Tony is about to go ballistic on some bums, lol!
For Sunday

The bandless smoke is a Rocky Patel 2nd that I’ve let sit about a year.
Will you be trying your hands as a torcedero? I have wanted to get Leaf Only’s Maduro kit but they’ve been out of stock for a very long time now. It’s a lot of fun and well worth the attempt. Mine didn’t look professional but they weren’t bad all things considered:

They're great, I really enjoy them for a special smoke. They're definitely in the top 10 cigars I've ever smoked.
That being said, I've gotten them in private sale samplers. Retail price, I could probably justify spending if I couldn't get them this way. First one I smoked I was completely blown away with, maybe had more age. The ones after that were pretty darn good. Nothing compared to the first though

I'd like to imagine so, but in reality I'm not sure if I'd follow through with it. I appreciate the art and blending, all the work that goes into it. That's really why I started reading and looking into.
I enjoy making soaps, gardening, preserving food, etc. So I think I'd like to give it a go at some point, but right now just enjoying seeing everyone's work
Also, those are pretty nice looking cigars
