Today's Smoke 2020

[Pugman1943]

This 1986 Ramon Allones Corona is one of the best cigars I have smoked in recent memory. So much flavor and power for an old cigar.

OK John, you got my attention. The wrapper and band color blend so closely. I could actually feel the age literally speaking. I am going on a hunting expedition in my humi tomorrow as our weather is suppose to be favorable and hope to find a relative to your smoke. You have awoken what few senses remain. Thanks for sharing your "old" cigar.

Smoking another new one while trying to find the common buys. Not too shabby. In the next few weeks Ima be dry boxing some padrons. You guys are definitely right about them. Maybe some nice Afs too. Don’t think I’ve pulled one of my WOAM out in a while

Honestly, Padrons smoke perfectly out of the humi IMHO. edit : SP

Glad I have a few boxes of these. Really enjoying the ERDM flavors. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

As a gently tv personality always said, "it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" and Dallas delivered in spades today. After Mr. Fields inspirational post I removed some spider webs from the secret locker and found todays smoke, and a note from the sender that read, "Partagas 898 - RAE FEB 14 - 5 years is the magic number for these babies... You will love this one", end of quote. It's wonderful to be a part of the CP experienc. Thank you all for being my BOTL's.

It sucks to post right after Pugman because his cigar pics are so good!

Today's smoke was a tasty Anejo #46 accompanied by a dram of equally tasty Elijah Craig Small Batch.

Not gonna lie. Even with the periodic bourbon sips. Had to take a break or two. Not cause of the smoke of course, just cause the room was spinning...a bit...so worth it tho!

How are those JR alts for the price? The reviews actually seem pretty decent but I never pull the trigger.

For the price they are decent. A nice larger cigar for those times you may not be able to finish a cigar so you don't have to toss a good stick.

Not bad other than the draw

RASS. I’m spoiled...

Well said, H. Vachon!

It's 70 degrees here in NW Arkansas and I took the opportunity to fire up my first Caldwell Long Live the King belicoso. Nice flavor, draw and burn but it had a weird saltiness that I found odd. Probably needed more age.

I always thought the saltyness was the sweat from the virgin thighs the cigar was rolled upon.
