Really enjoyed it, and glad you gifted me a couple more. Looking forward to the smaller Habanos.
Hoping you'll get to smoke one soon.
Thanks again, Jerry!

That is pretty cool, although I hate all insects, spiders the most, but I don't ever kill them. I just relocate them outside on the rare occasion I find one in my home/apartment/ room at the veterans home.
Had a large black widow living inches from my front door at the house I was renting. I just let it be, and eventually it moved on.
Was kinda neat to see in person as I had only seen pictures of them before.
Only one I have ever seen anywhere in Wyoming, inspite of them supposedly being common here

I LOVE insects and spiders. They all have such incredible adaptations, they are like tiny supermen each with a fun little back story explaining the origins of their superpowers.
For instance, moths are a primary source of food for many bats, so after eons of being preyed upon by their arch nemesis, the bat, some species of moths have developed specialized scales on their wings that act as a cloaking device that deflects and alters the bats sonar waves thus rendering them basically invisible to the bats. Those mofos have developed the power of invisibility!

For CH Sunday I’m trying a CHC Serie E Hermoso No. 2. Only about 1/2” in so can’t honestly comment on flavor, strength, etc…yet. I’ll update tomorrow, what I thought about it.

Very impressed with the burn ROTT - took a chance, and glad I did.
I knew they were available on one site - Lakeworth Cigars - but they didn’t have much in stock, especially the smaller vitolas. Very surprised and stoked you found the smaller RGs vitolas.
Cattle Baron hasn’t got a lot of articles and reviews, but they were at the PCA this year. Almost thought they went under until I read Halfwheel’s PCA brand report.
Very glad you enjoyed. We might be rustlin’ up some more of these soon.

Crowned Heads Sunday.
Crowned Heads Jericho Hill Long Black Veil 5.75x46.
Should've waited until now to start smoking this one, could've double posted it as C.H Sunday and Maduro Monday.
Nah, getting too dang cold now.
Keep thinking I've fewer Maduros than I do. "Found" a half dozen hiding out in a black ceramic jar. Do tend to pass 'em up and pluck a Habano or Sumatra wrapped cigar more often than not.

Crowned Heads Le Patissier ROTT. Pretty good right now but needs a nap and I think it's really going to shine.

Ok, I'll agree that's very interesting. Had no idea about that fact with moths. The original stealth aircraft, lol.
Used to have a nice close up picture of the black widow that showed off their very unique "symbol" on their back, but it was lost when my hard drive died.
Had to get very uncomfortably close for that picture since I don't like being close to such a large insect, especially a spider, and especially a super venomous one.
Likely wouldn't do it again, as I have seen the effects of their venom, and its pretty nasty for sure. Very bad news.
We also have pygmy rattlesnakes here too, and snakes don't bother me at all, but whenever hiking the wilderness in the part of the state most of them are found, I carried a .357 loaded with snakes hot, as I have no intention of getting bit by one of those either, as I have also seen the effects of their venom too.
Very common during the pre-work safety meeting in the oilfields to be warned that they had been spotted on the location and not to put your hands anywhere you can't still see them.
Have never seen one yet though.

Two Cups of good hot Coffee and this cigar for a good start on a cold Monday.
Tried looking a calendar for July but that failed to raise the temp outdoors. Have to find some spot out of the Wind right fast.

For all the Gurkha hate I have read since I joined my first cigar forum 13 years ago or so, I'll say it really was a decent tasting smoke.
Perfect draw,burn and construction
Not something I would buy, but better than I expected
Sorry for no pic, upload keeps failing for some reason

RP Sun Grown Maduro for Maduro Monday
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Couldn’t comment yesterday on this one, when I posted it, hadn’t smoked enough to make an impression.
For being rott, it was good. I just got them the other day, and I think it will be much better, once it acclimates to my RH/rests a while.
Giving one of these HVC La Rosa 520 sticks a try, for Monday

Looking like another HVC to go into my rotation.

Haven’t tried a new Tatuaje in a while so giving this Mexican Experiment Churchill II a try
https://i.imgur.com/IzQPmfN.jpg
About 1 inch in now, and for being rott, it’s not bad. I’ll have to see how it progresses from here.
Edit*
Ok, I’m about a third in now, first impression:
Construction is good, has a perfect draw, good burn/char line. It reminds me a lot of the box pressed MBIIIs in terms of how the cigar looks. For those of you not familiar, with the box pressed Oliva MBIII. They are not the “prettiest” looking sticks, but they are very good.
It’s not a flavor bomb, like some Tats are, but it does have some pleasant notes, interacting. I’m gonna say light/medium body, at least at this point. An enjoyable smoke, but for the price?,,,well we will have to see how they are with some rest.
I know flavor/notes, are subjective. That’s why I try not to get to in depth about it, unless it’s something that just stands out.
If it warms up I have a decision to make...been craving the Kings Gold but no bad choices herehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b9a8e73018.jpg
