But a lesson in cold weather! ;)

Its been cold and wet all day and the freezing rain just started but the wife is out Christmas shopping so I decided to brave the cold and go have a smoke on the balcony. :D I decided to have a Jose L Piedra creams since they're tasty but cheap so if it got too cold nothing would be lost. I have a bunch of creams, cazadores and petite cazadores but I decided to go with the creams since I've been smoking the petites a lot lately and didn't want to get sick of them.

The weather: 0C (about 32F) 33km/h (about 20 mph) winds making it a wind chill of -6C (21F) ( I must be crazy)

The smoke felt a bit plugged near the foot like JLP's do sometimes so I unplugged it with my trusty paper clip.

The first third was ok nothing to write home about earthy medium body.

It really picked up after the first third, probably because I managed to get past the plugged part fully at this point. It opened up to creamy earthy and leather tones. I really enjoy these, they are a great cheap stick.

this is about where I gave up because the wind really picked up at this point. Cigars are few and far between in the winter months up here. I manage to get one in once in a while though!

This is my first time using a punch rather than cutters. I gotta say I liked it a lot better I may use punches most of the time from now on. Less mess and chance of messing the cap up.

Now some "I'm cold and sad" pics LOL :laugh:

Good read. Somebody gave me five of those, and I thought they were great.

I used to punch my cigars. I should re-visit.

I also have to give you an At-a-boy for braving the elements for a good smoke. :thumbs:
 
Nice review Snoozer. These are a cheap smoke well worth trying. The petit cazadores are the best imo which is fairly new to the JLP line.
