Yeah he is absolutely out of his mind. Nice!

For new school/competition team style BBQ- I like Q39 near Westport quite a bit. Meat and sides are both good, nice table service style place with a crowd that will answer the question "Who the hell is filling stadiums to listen to that little weirdo Ed Sheeran?" Slap's has great meat that is...

I just dug up some Punch Ninfas from that era...if this tool makes any difference with THOSE I will be absolutely amazed. We'll see...

EL Siglo VI...breakfast of champions.

Ha, I literally just used my Perfect Draw for the first time last night on a Boli CG that would have broken my heart to toss. That little tool is no joke.

A buddy of mine was in Paris last month and I gave him specific instructions on what to look for. Didn't have the time to work out the details for box purchase price checks, so he got a few of us some singles. Didn't smoke the 54 yet, but if they weren't priced like regionals always are I'd...

Approx. 20 year old Padron Panatela...still had a shocking amount of flavor. I think I got these back when eBay was relatively new and basically the wild west. I scored a bunch of different cigars from sellers who would post them in the wrong categories, and the search/sort functions weren't...

First ever experience with Hearfelt beads this week. Very sorry I didn't just spend a little more before when the spring/summer humidity management starts to become an issue. My main humidor had been been spiking to 70%, so I put in one dry as-is pound of 65% beads in two 3x8 media bags a couple...

I'll be crippled up for a day, but I compressed 2 weekends of spring yard cleanup and mowing into one. Mag 50 was good, this EL Vigia is great. Most of my money will be going to John for a while.

I can't remember the last time I smoked a Padron, but I've had a bunch sitting in the humi for a while. Started off just okay, but about 1/3 of the way in the flavors took off. Not an everyday smoke with the price, but an awesome change of pace. This was whatever the robusto is called, flawless...

Bundle of EL Siglo VI's came in the mail today. I'm late to the game on the EL's, but so far everything John sends has been fantastic.

My last PSD3...these would be a top time machine purchase if that were possible. Just a ton of flavor, still full bodied and medium strength. I always had my doubts when picking one up because half the box had PSD4 bands. They were an H&F box from a very reliable source, so just a product of a...

Yeah the camera on my phone creates some psychedelic effects in low light. No instagram filter needed!

Libertador after a huge dinner last night. 70 degrees in KC all night, stayed out way too late for a Monday.

Finally about done with my annual spring cold, so I fired up a EL robusto. Great smokes, the construction is top notch.

Weekend away to our new favorite spot, Bentonville, AR...but with our 5 year old and my parents along I needed this friggin' Boli #1. First airbnb experience, loving it.

Way to go! What a bucket list selection!

I got too impatient waiting for them to pop up on Smallbatch (they're up now) and got the new Turin from Fox. Only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ordered from them and they threw in a hell of an Illusione sampler with the box purchase ($165 shipped). These are some good looking smokes.

Latest release Warped Black Honey...very nice cigar with the best construction in recent memory.

HA! Was just about to post this exact thing!
