It's been bad everywhere, no rain here at all either. The last 2 days we were in the mid to upper 80's for our highs, but compared to last week that's a serious cool off. Not one to wish my life away, but can't wait for fall, me and heat don't mix well.Quote:

Getting a bit of a break around these parts last two days, but it has to a teaser just before the real heat & humidity slams back down.Quote:

Return of a favourite Cigar. Vegas Cubanas Corona ~ By: My Father...5.5x44. Been hoping Don Pepin Garcia would some day bring the Vegas Cubanas brand back.
At long last He's done so.Got a box in and it had to be ROTT time for me. Vegas Cubanas were my top favourite and the first DPG cigars I'd smoked.
Guess it was almost fifty minutes after the box arrived in the mail when I cut and lit the first one
Don't usually do notes, but here's some.
Easy light...but a lot,whole lot harsher or stronger taste than the Vegas Cubanas I liked so much.
After about a half
inch the bitter taste faded away. Think the cigar's foot is too wet.
Smoking along,about an inch and a half into the cigar it is a whole lot better smoke.
But not as fine as I'd expected. Burn line fairly sharp, goodly amount of smoke.
Retrohale pretty rough...now hope that these will improve after a few more days in the Humidor.
Buyrn time: One Hour and Thirty Five Minutes.

Early Wednesday Morning Smoke. Vegas Cubanas Corona ~ by My Fahter Cigars....5.5x44.
Second one from the box. Seems the short "rest" was what the cigar needed. Not as smooth as the "old" Vegas Cubanas I liked so much.
But...10% - 15% better, much less harsh that the first one smoked. First quarter of an inch is the fullest,
maybe these were cellophaned too soon,too wet because deliveries to retailers were later than promised.
Notice that the Band is very tight, once band 's removed this area is smaller in diameter than the rest of the cigar's length body.
.Retrohale kind of harsh, now this's something that I do not like.
Still, just not going to give up on Don Pepin Garcia,yet.......more in the box to burn. Fingers crossed, hope still alive.
Burn time, One Hour Twenty Eight Minutes.

Freekin' gorgous weather here right now. About 20 degrees with the heat index cooler than it's been. Looks like we'll get seven to ten days break from the normal oven in August. Picking vegetables and puffing on a Ramon Bueso Genesis Project Robusto....
