I was just thinking that my favorite cigar that debuted in 2025 was the My Father Blue. Up until this line came out, I hadn’t cared for any of the My Father sticks, but the Blue to me is on another level.

It's fantastic. They are a bit pricey, but I picked up a box at JR with 30% off text code last summer. I haven't tried the Supreme yet, but I bought a box of the Prestige robustos at a local Ferio Tego event. Another damn fine cigar.

Ferio Tego Summa. I liked them enough that I picked up boxes of both the Corona Gorda and the Torpedo.

Thank you. It’s a core piece of furniture from my childhood. Top drawer was where my parents kept the road maps. The handles are original and when they “clang” it brings me right back.

I am hopeful that this will also help limit my future accessories purchases, although I still have two more sheets of foam! 🤣

Here are a couple pics as well as before, during and after I refurbished the hutch. I stripped it down and finished with a semi-solid stain. I lined three of the drawers with black contact paper and the pipe drawer is lined with black felt.

I cut them to fit the drawers of my tobacco hutch which is an old dresser my Dad made in the '60s.

I was sick of everything banging around in the drawer so I picked up some tool-box foam and put the X-ACTO knife to work. I love the way this came out! All my most used cutters, lighters and pipe tools on one sheet and secondary accessories on the other. I still have a handful of odds and ends...

Yeah, that $12 WHOLESALE measuring stick seems ridiculous.

Here’s California’s list of registered exemptions from the unflavored tobacco law. https://utl.doj.ca.gov/ The website sucks. Downloading the CSV file shows everything a little better and can be searchable.

I’m not seeing it yet. I have to do some more research to see how it might come apart. Tiny! Petite corona for the little one and maybe a Lancero on the bigger one. The V-cut could probably do something a little bigger maybe up to a 46 ring.

Found this guy today. German made Pfeilring Solingen cutter. Has a V cut and two small straight cuts. From the markings it’s probably ‘50s or ‘60s. I’ve read they aren’t fantastic but for $12 I had to give it a home.

Snowy day but not in the lounge.

I took home two more Snob wins in November during Espinosa Month. One week I won a La Bomba tin sign, lighter and ashtray along with a G-SHOCK watch. Two weeks before that I won a hoodie and hat. My wife said she’s going to restrict my internet access on Fridays!

Nice smoke on a 4-mile walk with The Warden.

How are these aging? I thought they would be special with some time.

Yes! I started running through his movies when I found out I was going and watched this one first. Jade is a favorite too. Gotta load up Bullets Over Broadway in which he was nominated for an Oscar.

It was at The Commissioner’s Cigar Lounge in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Great night at the cigar lounge with Chazz Palminteri, writer and star of A Bronx Tale. Great story teller too! Looking forward to trying his smokes and his wine.

Interesting thought. The lockers are in a separate room and require a thumbprint to enter so it’s closed off from the main lounge. When I toured it, I didn’t get an overwhelming feel of humidity in there leading me to wonder if it was underhumidified. I may put my own calibrated Govee in...
