Thanks everyone,
Well we were going to celebrate. She was bringing home a celebration dinner after getting off early from work for a nice relaxing 4 day weekend. However......
We live on a very low traffic hwy number 25, you turn on it and we are right there on the corner lot, to the hwy. She was stopped waiting to turn, in fact I saw her through the front windows. She was stopped fully, and waiting on a 18 wheeler to go by. When a guy in a dual cab pickup rams right into the back of her.
Thank God, she was not hurt at all. He did a good bit of damage to the front end of his truck, and clipped the driver side, back end. It wasn’t drivable, but cam and will be fixed. Until then we have a rental, which she just got. It’s was obviously his fault, and he even told the trooper, he looked down and when he looked up he realized he messed up. He also wasn’t hurt, thankfully.
That in and of itself, made for a very non celebratory mood. However....
Not even 2 months ago, a woman pulled running a light, and caused a much worse accident. My wife was badly bruised, but again, thank God. It could have been much much worse, so we had just got a brand new car for her a month ago. Since my disabilities make me unable to drive, we only have one. So it was her brand new car that was hit yesterday.
Needless to say she’s shaken up, physically she’s fine, but a bit unnerved about driving. So that was our day, I hope you all had a MUCH better one!
Went with a Casa for this Friday, I needed one

Been looking forward to this one from @dinoa2 . So far, it’s a great stick. Thanks again, Jerry! I’d be interested to hear a review from you on this stick - maybe we could do a double review? Any ideas on how mine should go?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...afc7585a4e.jpg
Thankfully Your wife was not injured, sure it put a damper on the day but I'm certain that the both will be breathing a sigh of relief that it did not turm out, as it well might have so much worse stay strong and well.Quote:

Fuente Friday Afternoon, Cigar courtesy of Old Smokey.
Fuente Fuente Opus X Love Affair 4.5x52.
Finally got a break from the wind that I've been waiting for, time to concentrate of the cigar. The wait was worth it after all, I don't have patience so it's been hard to resist lighting up this cigar that My Secret Santa Old Smokey sent me. Now I'm certain this is the first Opus X love affair I've ever had the pleasure of smoking.Every bit as fine a smoke as I was expecting it to be and one heck of a lot more.Easy light and in less than a minute it was putting out clouds of smoke. Flat out one of the very best cigars I've ever had the pleasure of smoking. Thanks Steve (Old Smokey) would never have known how fine this F&F Opusx was had You not sent this one in of Your way over the top Secret Santa 2020 gift.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. Trust me I’ve been thanking Him a lot, that she walked away from not one, but two wrecks. She’s terrified to get behind the wheel again, and I can’t say I blame her. I know it will pass, as does she, it’s just a process.
For this Saturday I went with a Kudzu

A first for me lighting up my first Hammer and Sickle a Berliner Mauser. This has a metal band very unique. Got this on another forum in 2015.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...58d7862dd2.jpg

Catching up...glad all is OK, @LazyLightning - that’s scary. A few years ago, I was stopped at a red light and it turned green. For whatever reason, I thought to look both ways before proceeding into the intersection, and I’m probably only alive because I did. Some asshole came speeding through, running the red light. He would’ve smoked me right at my drivers side door. I now always look both ways before going through any intersection, whether I have a green light or not.
Tonight, Oliva V Lancero. These just get better and better as I work through the box. Can’t ask for a better Habano wrapped cigar. Superb.

Room 101 Daruma Gold lancero. When I first got these they had some type of metallic taste that I didn't like. So I put them away and about once a year I smoke one to see if it's still present. I am glad to say that after about 6 years I'm not detecting the metallic taste any more. But I still prefer the silver label Mutante more. Life's a bitch! :)

These are definitely a feast or famine smoke. When they go wrong and you gotta fight the draw, they’re a pain in the ass but when they go right and have a perfect pull, relatively even burn, they really go right and punch way above their $5 price tag.

I hear ya. I got T-boned when a guy ran a stop sign and right into my driver's side door and now even though I have the right of way and cross traffic has a stop sign you bet your butt that I still slow down (4 years later) if I see a car approaching that intersection.Quote:

My wife got T-Boned twice in a 2 year period by people running through red lights in the early 2000's. She wasn't severely injured other than a couple of broken bones and bruised up pretty badly. After the 2nd one she said she was done driving and I told her I would drive her whenever and wherever she needed to go and that's how it's been since. She was a mess riding in the car for the first couple of years thinking everyone was going to run through a red light or stop sign. She is doing much better as a passenger these days. It takes a lot of patience to work through'it.
Those are so good.Quote:
