Thanks, I am too!

We are nearing the end of the process. They had to total the car, the repairs would have been more than 75% of actual cash value, which in this state is automatically a total. All we are waiting on now, is our insurance company, to close out the claim. Send a letter to the lean holder on the car, of total loss. We have already been pre approved for what ever car she decided to get this time. Keeping similar or lower payment, and similar or lower ins. Since both accidents were clear cut negligence on the other drivers parts, it won’t affect our insurance at all.

Just a waiting game, while she car shops now

Rainy and muggy Monday, I thought for some reason these were Maduro, my mistake. As I mentioned in the other thread, I may have been bombed one of these a very long time ago, but I don’t think so. So I’m trying these for the first time, I know a lot of you like them, hope I do as well.

Glad you enjoyed the S&R. Just picked one up recently, and am looking forward to it.

Plain V. I'm thinking the Maduro V will be interesting, but I'll prefer the plain. We'll see.

Courtesy of @chain_gang These are always a good smoke - thanks Matthew

Monday Morning Special.
Millesime D' Or Limited Edition. Julian Sued & cia.
Cut and lit at 2:28 PM Easy light, good amount of light grey/blue smoke. Pepper/spice right there on the tongue. Nice,smooth but a bit of potency on the retrohale, after 20 minutes the cigar has picked up a bit more zing. Another 6 minutes and hardly any 'bite' at all on the retrohale. Have not done a lot of retrohaling lately but this is indeed a Special cigar. Outstanding construction, perfect draw neither too tight nor too open, slow burning, solid ash that I tapped off just short of an hour of smoking,it would've held at least to the mid point of the cigar. The draw on this special cigar was never a problem, opened up still more greater smoke volume but still slow burning the burn line holding that near perfect line. Flavour changes, not many that I could detect and put a name too. Have mentioned that this is a really Special cigar, and it is that indeed, fine tobacco. Be sure to allow, set aside time top relax and thoroughly enjoy the experience. Burn time was One Hour and Forty One Minutes. If I'd slowed down a bit think it would have been a Two Hour smoke. I'll say if You can find one of these Special Harvest cigar to smoke, grab it, You'll surely note flavour changes that I can't identify, You will not regret hunting one down, yes they are that special.
Big, no make that a Huge thanks to Alan S for sending Me a box of these beauties to enjoy. For once I'm going to be smart and take My time to smoke these cigar, 'cause they have to be a true small batch production special harvest that wont be duplicated I don't age cigars, but will surely make these last.

Another Tatuesday, and it’s been probably a year or more since I had one of these. Not for any reason either.
Also that CroMagnon yesterday, was superb. It’s also rott, so I can only guess what a few months will do.

Yeppers Steve, it was from you. I thought things were getting better, but it's on to the next crisis with my son. Also, @Nature thank you for your kind words earlier.

Uh oh, did you run into an issue?

I know it was early, but I knew my came from small batch (via 3rd party) and they dial their shit in.

Plus, I was drinking at the pool.

With all that said, I thought it was a good cigar without issue.

Really if anything hurt the rating, it was that the Elysian Field I had before it was phe-nomenal! And the crazy thing is I'd peg it as a Rojas release (think EZ and Noel work together?)
