Would you like a Cigar?

Yesterday I worked my a$$ off doing yard work, and it turned out to be a 3 cigar day. This is what I smoked.

1. Wild Hunter by Oscar Valladeres, a good friend bought it for me because it had my name "Oscar" on the label. :D It was a mild-med blend, not complex at all, but overall good smoke.
2. Oliva Connecticut torpedo. Good med blend cigar.
3. CAO Heritage, med-full blend cigar, with hit notes of cocoa & coffee. First time smoking this one, and it a delicious cigar, I didn't want to put it down. I also drank a couple of glasses of Amarula. :)
This afternoon was an Oliva V maduro cigar. As you all know one of my favorite cigars.

Wanted to sit out and smoke another, but the WX here in GA has been real dog sh*t all day. So, I'll have to settle for a one cigar day. :(

I received a shipment of cigars today, so I decided to try an “ALEC BRADLEY - SUPERSTITION” this evening. I thought it was a little on the strong side and no complexity at all. Still doable, but it’s no MY FATHER.

A while back, I made a couple of these single cigar holders.

I love a good cigar, my favorites are Gurkha with a Madura wrapper, rocky patel and Cohibas with the red label, best one I smoked was an Oscar by Oscar Fuentes with a green label on it I forget the name though.

I haven't smoked a Gurkha yet, but I did get some today. I'll be trying one soon.

Was looking forward to this one as reviews claimed mocha and syrup. Unfortunately for me, this was not a sweet smooth maduro. It was a bit astringent and stale with a pepper finish that lingered.

Good points - razer sharp burn requiring zero touchups all the way through.

But I won't smoke another nor did I enjoy this one

If anyone is concerned about the Zippo in the pic, it is a butane insert

We called in 7 different birds... but couldn’t get the first pair, or two different singles to come into range...

Finally got a threesome of two year old gobblers to come within about 35 yards... we bagged two of the three...

One was a red beard.... pretty rare, and very cool bird!

@Ravensview, any cigar with a name like "Oscar" has to be good. :LOL::LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

@mdwest, thank you sir. If I would have had a morning like that, a My Father would have definitely been in order. Congrats sir and thank you for sharing.

Ok Para, I confess I am an engineer geek, but that’s irrelevant here because Your single stick humidor is neat!

I just realized the reason for liking “Oscar” in the name after reading through the above posts

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
