Would you like a Cigar?

I had a short brown Liga Melanio in my pie hole this evening.

Personally going with an El Rey Del Mundo Reserva Salado for SN Football on the porch with the Mr Heater rolling.

Here's a big white one for George Carlin.

@Mort Hill, your ashtray looks like mine. My wife gives me sh*t for being full.

I cracked open a brand new Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and grabbed a dark wrapper Tabak for the first time.

It was a letdown compared to the lighter wrapper Tabak (which gave great creamy coffee notes). This was just not anywhere near as flavorful and had no other redeeming tobacco flavors to save it.

It got soggy in the middle at 65 humidity and wouldn't stay lit. Of course a relight at this stage became bitter. And thus I say an early farewell to a mediocre smoke

That’s what a good weather front is for. Blows ashes everywhere but ashtray is empty. Amazing....[emoji23]

What's a Goose Island Bourbon Stout?

What's a Goose Island Bourbon Stout?

It's a 14.5% alcohol stout beer aged in whiskey barrels. It comes out in the retail stores once a year on Black Friday for like $15 a pint bottle. Needless to say it's good if you like chocolate, coffee, and oak flavors

I think I have about 50 bottles downstairs from 2012 to 2019 vintage

 

[Brent in Az]

Sounds like one bottle = good buzz.

My last Alec Bradley-Prensado. A 96 rated morsel. Will have to order some more of these in the future.

Stopped by the Cigar shop today. They had wondered where I've been lately. Picked up a handful of sticks. I spent an hour at the lounge, and had a Don Pepin Garcia -Blue 2019 Anniversario. Fabulous smoke. Going to pick up some more of those next weekend.

Here's a Don Pepin Cuban Classic, pairing nicely with a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, on a Saturday afternoon.

Delivery man dropped off a big box of goodies. My Christmas present to myself.[emoji3]

 

[Brent in Az]

Really enjoyed the La Perla Habana - Black Pearl Morado's, I got on the last order. Decided to try a box of the Maduros.very reasonably priced, plus the 25% discounts makes it that much sweeter.

This is funny but actually quite worrisome if I was Ashton.

I have a box of Ashton and the warning stamp they burned into the box says "cigars contain many of the SAFE carcinogens found in cigarettes..."

Hoping to get a free box for saving their ass from the ATF, I emailed them a couple weeks ago. No reply...guess I'll call the ATF

 

[PARA45]

Wow, but WTF Ovet????

5 Vegas Classic.

Good construction, good burn, good flavor. Got these for $3 each.

A nice, roasty & toasty, Camacho Bourbon barrel aged. A great smoke to end the work week.

 

[PARA45]

Glad you like it. I’ve posted a picture of one a while back. they are one my favorite Camachos.

I smoked this Acid last night.

Smoked these two nights ago
