‘98 Partagas Lonsdales Cab - Had to start the new year with one of my all time favs. These have been straight fire since about 5 years old and get noticeably better every few years since. This one presented every sweet baking spice in the rack. Supple, rich, thick, dense, PERFECT! So refined...

Get yourself a Xikar V-Cutter and thank me later.

Only smoked a handful in December and nothing spectacular unfortunately. Very close between a couple 2 year old Yerandys. I’ll give the nod to the Piramides over the Churchills. Very Cohiba-like - medium strength but full flavored, smooth, cream caramel delicious. Love that I can pull one of...

‘16 Le Hoyo de San Juan - my first and an absolute mind blower. The flavors just kept coming. By the last inch I was wishing it was an A. I’ve been trying a lot of the newer fat Havana cigars these past two years because well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. This is the first one that has...

Baaaaa….we still won that game!

Happy Birthday Brother!

Fascinating. American ginseng is no joke. Demand is huge in parts of Asia and supply is minuscule so that stuff is gold.

Have seen Colin Hay thrice and all three show were stunning. He is a top tier live performer.

Shrinkflation 😩

‘94 Lusi I won in an auction 20 years ago. Will be the oldest Lusi I’ve smoked. Pretty excited.

Ah so happy you and the Mrs enjoyed it! One of my favs.

Thanks Michael. I can’t believe it took me so long to change my ways. I’m a collector at heart and receive great pleasure admiring my various collections. Just the same, cigars are the only ones that are ultimately consumable. I have a feeling I’ll somehow be really pissed at myself if I die...

‘08 Punch Serie D’Oro No.1 Reina Unida ER 6 1/8 X 52 - my first and only one - not holding on to anything anymore. No stick is safe! Cinnamon French Toast, myriad baking spices, much more Upmann than Punch - reminds more of a well aged Upmann No.2. Smooth clearly super premium aged tobacco...

JoeMo smashed me with a box of pure joy and merriment. Six pours of glorious premium Scotch Whiskey, a big bag of cigars and more! You have humbled me my Brother. Thank you for making my day, my week and my holiday!

Congrats Michael!

Cohiba Ambar Number 2. I’m in the lead! 😂 Edit - actually tied with Michael @cohibasurfer as we both had the magnificent Ambar at number 3! Great minds….
