Happy Birthday!

The crust looks pretty thick on that. What time/temp are you baking at?

I haven't posted anything here for a while - I'm still making a large sandwich loaf pretty much every weekend. This one is 750 g flour (1/3 fresh milled whole wheat, 2/3 organic unbleached all purpose), 68% hydration, 8% (60 g) avocado oil, 2% (15 g) salt. I'll try to remember to take a picture...

Awesome, congrats!

I'm in!

The Anejo 49 I smoked last night was cracked as well but it smoked just fine.

#49 - I think I'm going to be here a while.

Driving - Surrogates Cracker Crumbs. Pepper and spice, very nice even just a couple days off the truck. More driving - Tatuaje Skinny Chuck. Spices, wood, sweetness. Love it. Relaxing - Tiago Reserva Familiar San Andres. Made at the Pichardo factory, which also makes Luciano and some Crowned...

Caldwell Long Live the King My Style is Jalapeno. Only my second one giving it another try after being less than impressed by the first one. I'm really enjoying it this time.

Happy birthday!

Mi Querida Triqi Traca (I think that's how it's spelled) 6x52 Toro. Very flavorful, as I'd expect from a MQ, which has become one of my favorite marcas. And, this thing is putting out an absolutely indecent amount of smoke.

Well done!

And

My Father Blue petite robusto. Medium strength, a lot less pepper, with a dank/wet/heavy earth and wood thing going on. Not wet literally, but just kind of an impression it gives me in the flavor and feel. Not bad, definitely different than what I'm used to from My Father.

If perhaps a bit of of date. S-10 was a clue, but then Tracker? They quit making those, what, 20 years ago?

I love the Mi Queridas. Fantastic cigars. I feel this. I bought an overflow tub as well. And filled it up, as well. 🤡
