Wife is out for a mini getaway so I have my sweet little 3 year old daughter all to myself. We are having so much fun. Our bonding with just the two of us is maximum joy in overdrive. Never knew I could love so much.

Right?! These guys are having too much fun.

Costs have skyrocketed and service is worse than ever. I hadn’t shipped anything for a few years and couldn’t believe how insane usps prices are now. Even with PirateShip. Really takes the piss out of sending stuff Willy nilly like I once was want to do.

Michael @cohibasurfer leveled me with an outstanding assortment! Excited to try all of these in the coming weeks. Thank you my Brother!

ABO DIC18 Hoyo de Monterrey - Le Hoyo de Rio Seco - 5 1/2 X 56 Aromosos - my first of the newer jumbo HdM. Chocolate covered cherries on cold draw. Rarely get this much flavor on cold draws. Creamy, dried fruit but flavors are muted. Needs more time as most Hoyos do for my taste anyway. Also...

Arches & Monument Valley in Utah are both worth a visit.

Corinthia in Budapest Hilton Vienna Waterfront

‘05 Punch Punch Cab - rose water floral bomb super rich mouth coating beauty. Second third tiramisu. When you get 2+ hours out of a corona gorda you know you smoked something special. Might be the best Punch Punch I ever smoked.

Love this wacky one off album and especially this song.

They are one of my favorite live bands. I saw them last about ten years ago or so in a small club. Was right up against the stage and Ian Astbury tossed his tambourine to me and I dropped it. He gave me this disappointed look then motioned back stage. Out comes Zakk Wylde with another...

‘01 Cohiba Esplendidos - my all time favorite cigar. From first puff creamed honey & vanilla bean. Dream retro full of coffee & vanilla. Passive aromas are sweet cream & hay. So creamy, so sweet, so velvety smooth. Finished strong with butter cream toffee. Intense flavors, exquisite, superb...

2014 Cohiba Robustos Supremos EL (5X58) - lots of cocoa & coffee. Nice flavors but over-filled making for weak smoke production. Still a good two hour burn.

WOW! Thanks Michael. So very generous of you my friend. I will be in town to receive this weekend for sure.

Atlanta & New Orleans

Captain Haddock! Love Tintin. Well played 👍

‘01 Esplendidos - my all time favorite cigar, my once or twice a year celebration or special occasion smoke. Perfection.

Vegueros Mañanitas - 3 7/8 X 46 Petit Pyramid - My first of the newish vitolas which debuted in 2012. Was a gift so no box code. I’m a big fan of the old line which I consider the poor man’s Cohiba. They age magnificently just like my favorite marca. This one was pretty young with lots of grass...

‘23 Nude Ninfas - started rough and a bit harsh but smoothed out to a decent smoke. Really hoping these round out to great cigars in a few more years. My favorite size and I would smoke them weekly if they aged well.

Well hope I provided some laughs with that list anyway. How about an Aladino or Davidoff? Never had either. Prefer 50rg or thinner unless it’s a pyramid.
