Would you like a Cigar?

Cheers fellas, I just confirmed dates on my first Safari! Smoke em if ya got em.

That was easy. Challenge accepted. Working on a lovely Partagas Series D #5 Cubano. Only allow myself one a day, of the expensive ones, not cigars, so you are the guy to blame today. Congrats on your safari and do share some details.

I tried the Buffalo trace white dog mash. Strong at 125proof, but not too bad.
I haven't tried their other products yet.
I had a monte white with some remy xo afew days ago, very enjoyable !
 
Just regular OTC Buffalo Trace, will have to track down some Remy XO and try it.
TIA,

Steve
 
I got back a few days ago and was going through my photos to get my Hunt Report going and wanted to share a few that I don't think I posted when I was over there.

I will say I didn't take a good lighter since I thought I could get one there but I could only find a regular Bic lighter so I had to light this one from a coal from the fireplace. I really missed my good lighter!

Waiting on reinforcements to help with loading the kudu...Four of us couldn't get him in the truck! Afterwards they said he weighed 294 kilo = almost 650lbs

Cigar looks good.....the nasty thorns on that branch, not so much
 
GF took her kids to the Dominican Republic, where one of the tours featured a tobacco plantation/cigar factory-She got the most wonderful sampler pack and a bunch of hand-rolled right out of the rollers' hands. I remember when my cigar fanatic friends were so upset w/ the cuban ban, but many great cigars from the DR were discovered. They have all been wonderful-I think because they are so FRESH! Great mosquito control here during times of the year...

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
