‘09 PL Los Andes Peru ER (5 X 50) - cold draw walnuts. Crème brûlée - retro brings coffee cake. Second third lemon cake. Superb construction, sweet & succulent throughout. Absolutely stellar!

Fab5 MoFoh Robusto Trinity - Vcut cracked the head (hate when that happens) overall pretty good smoke. Outside of a bunch of the Nude Ninfas which I like a lot this was only the third Fab5 vitola I have tried. None of them have been remotely "cubanesque" until this one. Medium strength like...

The Flight Attendant on MAX - just finished the first season. Loved it. Kaley Cuoco in a dramatic role is a revelation.

‘04 PSdC #3 - love these so much.

ECA ENE03 - H. Upmann Magnum 46 Cab - superb as always.

I am also a faster Brandon. I do 20:4 most days and love working out on an empty stomach in the morning. Absolutely blown away how much size and strength I’m putting on in my 60’s. It’s incredibly motivating. My goal this year was to increase my lifts by 25% which I have already surpassed with...

The Guest on Showtime was excellent. Five ep limited series. British shows rarely disappoint.

Always working on the diet and nutrition as I believe it’s the most important for overall health and well being. Protein and good fats are my focus.

Do love the kettlebells though I should work them in more than I do. I’ll work on it. As far as pre’s and creatine go I’m not much for pre anymore. Usually have an espresso or two before heading to the gym is all. Huge proponent of creatine. Standard five grams a day of micronized monohydrate...

05 RyJ Petit Piramides EL - Cinnamon, Coffee - surprisingly no cocoa which I get from most EL. Super smooth & creamy. Loved it.

I’ve been strength training since 12 years old. Now old & grey I’m pushing harder than ever as I believe it’s a major benefactor to longevity and especially maintaining mobility as well as flexibility as long as possible. I owe it to my daughter to keep her father here with her and playing hard...

Love my Xikar and that’s a great price but I’ve never used another V-Cutter. I’m sure there are other good ones. The one downside to the Xikar is it’s quite heavy. I wouldn’t pocket it but otherwise it’s a stalwart. Tempted to pick up one of the Palio’s as their OG straight cutter was my...

OR (‘04) Trinidad Robustos Extra - blast of baking spice from first puff - retro pure maple syrup - brown sugar, soft leather - 1:45 slow smoking paradise.

When can I move in?!

I probably have north of 100 cutters but use the Xikar V-Cutter almost exclusively now.

‘09 Hamlet Cervantes (Pigtail, Shagfoot) - leather, cedar - as always amazing construction. Held ash forever. Second third peach, apricot, sweet bread - passive aromas wheat toast. Hamlets were in my weekly rotation for years until I couldn’t get them anymore. I’ve been in love with Cuban custom...

Happy Birthday Brother!

‘99 Cohiba Siglo V - these are special. My favorite Siglo. Honey, baking spice, vanilla.

‘05 (OR) PSP2 - these were amazing fresh and even better now. So rare among Havana cigars. Absolute perfection.
