Custom roll from this guy.

Portraits: Alejandro González Arias

There is any number of custom Cuban cigar rollers in Cuba, but only one can be the youngest. At only 32-years-old, Alejandro “Alex” González Arias is said

Very nice! Was a bit overpowering at first, but settled down after the first 1/2 inch.

 

[Thoughts]

Just over a year on these are making them smooth smokes

Ouch, guess I'll quit bitchin' about 20's and flurries! I'll brave the 30's and smoke an extra for you tomorrow

I take it there's no cigar lounges close by?

Closest actual lounge is about a 45 minute drive each way sadly

A really delicious JohnnyO Cazadore Shagfoot from 2009 I bought years ago.

It’s great if you’re riding, but not super conducive for smoking lol

Sunny and 26 here, but I'm enjoying a Charter Oak any way:







Fantastic smoke!


@H. Vachon I know you posted somewhere about budget cigars, if you haven't tried a Charter Oak (Maduro), these are great for less than $5.

Peppery start and then smooth leathery taste all the way to the finish.

This was my first My Father cigar but it certainly won’t be my last



In light of some custom nubbers I’ve seen in recent posts, I present to you my custom Michigan nubber


(Before anyone jumps my ass, yes this was a joke)
Cheers!

Early 1970’s Quintero Nacionales

Nice huh!

Yeah buddy! There was a code/date written on the band, couldn’t quite make it all out but it looked like it was a ‘13. It maintained a lot of strength and flavor compared to many of the other 5+ year NCs I’ve have the opportunity to sample. The guy who gave it to me must have taken good care of it

Cold weather be damned!

I know right!!

Needed both of these after today. Let’s just say if my pay reflected the amount of hats they want me to wear, this would be MaCallan 18 and a sir Winnie



Cheers my friends

Wasabi. I like this cigar. It’s pretty strong and spicy, so well done by La Zona. If your looking for a short format with character give it a go.
