Thanks again for the one you bombed me. It met a fiery end last weekend. It was so smooth and tasty, a much welcomed break.Quote:

While working in the yard I smoked a Flor de Oliva. This is what's left of a Lonsdale:

Unfortunately I seem to puff too often while working and it lasted maybe an hour or so, which made me slightly queasy.
I keep reading, especially you, of drinking coffee with a smoke and thinking I need to try that. But I like to eat first and coffee is usually all I have for breakfast these days.Quote:

Would guess coffee is my breakfast about 350 days out of 365 a year.
Plus have the habit of drinking coffee throughout the day.
When smoking if it's not coffee, might be Beer,Whiskey, very rarely water.
Don't always drink coffee when smoking.
The caffeine addiction's a lot stronger than the smoking.
Would be a lot harder to let go of.
You just might find that coffee would get in the way of your awareness of changing flavours in a cigar.
Finished this about an hour - hour and a half ago. Paul Stulac Classic Blend Phantom...6.x52. One of the Torpedo shaped cigars that puts out as much smoke if V cut or Guillotined, a nice feature as is the consistancy of taste in each of the Paul Stulac blends, sure do wish he'd make something in a corona size. No photo,as usual and can't make a correct estimate of the smoking time. Just glad it had cooled down a bit after Sundown to allow me to fully enjoy this one.
I've been drinking coffee for about 25 years now, but only in the last couple found I much prefer a strong dark roast. I only drink coffee in the mornings after I've had a cup of water, and don't generally drink any later.Quote:

I figured that since I feel cigars go quite well with stouts it ought to go well with coffee too.
I can't say I've noticed much change in smokes, except for a few I noticed seemed a bit harsh at first but mellowed. I don't think my pallet is typical as I just don't get most of the flavors I see described.
Like you I can't put a name to most of the flavours, do pick up on some of the changes, just can't name them.Quote:

My problem with smoking a cigar while in the yard mowing etc. is that I end up chomping the hell out of a cigar. It ends up looking like a piece of meat that's been ran through the tenderizer for a chicken fried steak. You did well....Quote:

The beer comes soon after...
I'll never slobber on a cigar as I'm uppity and only drool on a cigar, which is what I'm doing right now as I stir this homemade spaghetti gravy I made with my homegrown tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and venison. For a Chinaman, I might make it in Italy.....Quote:

Starting the extended weekend off right.

Finally made a Fuente Friday again. Eye of the Shark with Belle Meade 9 year Sherried bourbon. A really good pair so far!
http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psiuxxxszo.jpg
I picked up the Belle Meade because I love bourbon and I love Sherry Casked scotch so I figure how bad can it be. It's pretty damn good!!
I haven't been to Vegas, but I've heard when you're doing well you keep rolling (no sense in breaking even, right?)
It seems I've been put down for a nap by a couple of med-full/full sticks, as well as a few times puffin' too much on a med stick. Yet today I've smoked a 5 Vegas Classic Robusto after mowing followed by a 5 Vegas Gold Maduro Corona while watering, and since the evening is yet to call me in I figured I'd try a teeny weeny Sancho Panza (these aren't very good, but I have a few just sitting there...) and try my luck along with a homebrewed ESB.

I may not have chewed it badly, but with a beer in one hand and a sprayer in the other while I watered the front left me with my stick in my mouth often enough:Quote:

To each their own, right? I prefer to slobber and slaver. I just wipe it off when it's a bit much.Quote:

Wrapper broke on me, but look at that burn line!! Sharp as a razor & it tastes as great as the last one.
Well it came down to one of these or a La Historia. The Grandkids will love the sugar.
