Would you like a Cigar?

Relaxing this afternoon after lunch :)

Ahhh, the Camacho Corojo! What a great cigar to relax with. Had a half dozen or so this weekend. Just seemed to be the go-to cigar of yardwork. Nothing more exciting than yardwork. Well, except maybe chasing lions in the Kalihari!!!

Congrats my friend! Prayers answered for a safe and successful hunt for you and your team. That is an awesome picture, and worthy of a fine cigar in your honor this evening. Can not wait to hear how the whole story unfolds! Bravo!

Took this stick to Africa and back in April, she got a little wet on the way over and need to dry. A bit rough still.

Sure an improvement over sitting at my desk!

I like the stick, and the view from your office LOL

How in the world did you manage to bring a cigar back from Africa? Never heard of such. Then again, maybe you only realized once you got home. I do tend to find cigars squirreled away in a lot of different places after trips.

I over packed, and underperformed on my cigar consumption!

There was no way I was going to smoke this one and two others. The hydration gel pack leaked all over them.
 
It doesn’t get any better than this :)

Gents, I’m in the US. I am tired of sitting and traveling. Left the Kalahari yesterday at 8:30, for a 6-8 hrs drive, 5 hrs at the airport, 16 hrs flt, and now a 2 hrs shuttle home. :(. I’ll start my hunt report prob tomorrow or Wed. Need to get my pictures in order.

Traveling sucks. Get some rest because we need a good report ;)

Glad you back on terra firma. My advice to you is to smoke heavily……

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
