La Palina 1896

I don’t normally go for connecticuts but this was part of a 5 stick sampler. Wide open draw (v-cut) - first cigar I’ve had go out on me except while golfing. Super-mild with notes of bread, tea, and wood with a sweet finish. Very slight developing spice. Mild pepper retro. Sweet finish. TERRIBLE burn issues. Not bad but not one I would buy on purpose.

Looks like I forgot to post last night's cigar. Padilla Miami 8&11 Lancero. This one was rolled too densely resulting in a tight draw and splitting the wrapper in several places. Good flavor, though, when it was burning decent.

I'm down to just two lanceros and two robustos left.

Going to enjoy this one for this evening. Very full flavor and also has an excellent draw.

I’ve got a few 1932s from 2007 left. I just look at them and say “not today!”

BLTC Royalty Corona. A quite dark Ecuador corojo wrapper, Honduran binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. Wood, leather, dark roast coffee, pepper. Impeccable burn, good flavor, very "dark" and heavy. I would smoke this again.

Salutes from Athens-Greece, we had clouds and light rain here but the sun show up with 58 'F.

PDR VLR Connecticut.

Enjoying the sound of rain and a mild cigar. Perfect morning.

Avowed “The Vow” with about 6 months rest and a classic read. Really enjoying Steinbeck as an adult.

Fantastic transitions and flavors.

Double Wow-Wow, the Air Force here just smoked something that was Not a Davidoff. Amazing!

Chaparral Cabra Maduro toro. The rep from Carrass was in last night and I asked him for his best shot against a Padron 1000 series; this was his recommendation. Not a bad smoke, but with more bite than the P-drone. And the wrapper is thin by comparison.

I wanted to add to the Nat. Geo

cartoon yesterday but time got in the way. WAY back when ( 1955-1956 ) Playboy had an artist who signed his drawing Vargas, of which I am attaching one here for you enjoyment. Many the time the drawing was better than the real photo-shoot. Apologize for the thread screwup here. And a aside, while looking for these drawings, they have been on sale, for a average of $16K plus.

Must have left in in my shirt pocket and ran it through the washer and dryer… it’s smoking surprisingly well considering all the damage.

Almost didn’t bother trying to smoke it, but glad I did…
