I have been eyeing this for a few months now. This time, as my hand passed over the cedar trays of cigars in my humidor and my fingers grasped it for a momentary inspection, I did not hear the voice “another time”.
The lightly veined, oily wrapper was mostly obscured by metallic gold and black multiple bands, ensleeving much of the length, circumcised with regular circular perforations on the lower slip. The evenly spaced round cutouts reminded me of the perforated lick-able postage stamps.
In my childhood days, I remember sheets of similar S&H Green Stamps my mother and grandmother collected from various shopping excursions. I was always willing to help paste the stamps into booklets that could be redeemed for various goods in a catalog.
On the lower band is scribed:
“Heralded by Grupo de Maestros in Dominican Republic and made in Nicaragua by Plasencia Family”
Montecristo Espada Oscuro
Guard 6 x 50
presented to me by Bob @allusred ;
In a recent MAW benefaction.
Thank you highly.
Enjoying immensely as I’m sitting in my backyard listening to the rhythmic chirping of crickets and other insects in the trees. Often in unison, but occasionally some have varying oscillations and the chirps go in and out of a singular chorus to alternations. I don’t hear the high pitched trill of toads. It has been years since I’ve heard one and probably longer since seen. They used to be regular congregants beneath the streetlight in front of the house, there to catch a nightly meal of moths and other insects drawn to the light. Many times during the day I could find a two dimensional version left in the street having come under a passing tire. The different light wavelengths emitted by earlier sodium lamps, and now LEDS don’t attract the insects, and as baitfish attract a school of larger predatory fish, the absence of insects precludes the terrestrial amphibians and winged mammals seen in the islands of light.

I can concur. Despite having eight to ten weeks or so off in the summer, they seem to make up for it during the school year in evenings and weekends with work taken home.
Congratulations to Mrs. A! A truly noble and under appreciated profession.

It's been a long road but it really is her calling. She graduated college in 2016 but because of test anxiety had trouble passing the state certification test then. She worked different jobs for a while, then last year she took a small pay cut for a teachers assistant job. Then we found out there are other ways to get certified. She did that now she's good to go and her is almost double what it was before

Congrats Missus @TreySC ! Keep those little one in line LOL
22N 83W for this Bum tonight
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...db1c656c26.jpg
Had to look up what the coordinates were for 22N, 83W, and also information about the cigar. Hadn’t heard of it prior.
Approximately Isla de la Juventud, of Cuba.
Precisely though, in the bay between there and the main island.

“22N / 83W name comes from the coordinates of the Hacienda el Corojo factory that once grew, as many say, the best tobacco on earth.”
Good reviews, especially given the price point.
Thanks, @WNYTONY ; !
