MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! … or so I would’ve said if I smoked this when @Çnote did. Sorry everyone, I’m far behind on my TX Duo reviews. Lit this up yesterday after enjoying an N2 Piramide. Slightly distracted by the Rams and Panthers, but here goes: Cold draw gives me coffee, a little bit of dried fruit. Sandalwood too, maybe. Light-up is full of coffee and crème notes, some caramel, and mild leather. Going on, the first half is dense coffee and earth, remarkably straight burn line (sorry, in the middle of conversations and I didn’t take pics), and a great mouthfeel. Something like dark apricot on the finish. Around the midpoint, I get some prune notes on the tip of the tongue and I’m in heaven. Can’t remember having this exact stick before, but now I want more. Strength kicks up in the second half, but this is far less rich than the previous sector. Not so much fruity sweetness, but some leather and earth. I can’t imagine Cody enjoyed this last half very much, but who knows? The end gets a slight bit bitter, but the core is still nice coffee and crème, maybe a little dark caramel in the nose. Not digging the last half so much. I’d give this an 86, but definitely something worth looking for to put down and bury. Cheers!

Welcome to FoH!

The last time I got to see Bob. Last song I got to see him play was Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door. Had such a blast at this show. Dark Hollow>Catfish John had me beaming. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bob-weir-and-wolf-bros/2023/soldiers-and-sailors-memorial-auditorium-chattanooga-tn-1bbaf578.html

Man this one hits home. As silly as I feel saying it, the Dead have been a huge part of my life. With music it is them, and then everyone else. I went to my first show at 13. Thanks for alot of great memories Bobby.

Congratulations!

As I believe, they already do. No Pesocicars available for nearly two years now.

Beautiful Bobby.

Great start to the year.

Especially this very minute. Even without 2026 being on fire, it's the 1st weekend after the long December holiday. But yeah, buy whatever you see that you want 'cos you may not see it again at that price.

Production volume in 2025 was the highest since 2019 (2024 was the lowest). But that said, they are still down considerably from pre-COVID and demand has only increased since then, so I wouldn't exactly expect shelves to be overflowing anytime soon.

Congrats George! Truly appreciate the podcast!!

Not a lot this one. Life admin and today made a Vietnamese Shaking beef with sides and rice and enjoyed with a Barossa shiraz followed by dessert with a nice sauternes and coffee. Quiet smoke on the balcony and some reading before the daily grind again tomorrow.

It's been interesting watching the Regionals last few years go the Lancero path. I'm holding off in the hopes they'll do it with a Double Corona next, or at least Churchill size. Imagine an SLR or Bolivar DC/ Churchill again?

I tend to prefer regionals based on their uncommon vitola and their sometimes interesting blends. SLR is one of my favorite brands, but with only one cigar currently in regular production, regionals are one of the best ways to get more from the brand. Here some of the regionals I find to be very worth the pursuit. - Saint Luis Rey Adamastor Edición Regional Portugal - Saint Luis Rey La Cuna Edición Regional Italia - Juan López Finos Edición Regional Países Bajos - Diplomáticos Grandes Edición Regional Alemania - La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'Or Especial Edición Regional Belux - Por Larrañaga Coronas Edición Regional 5ta Avenida - La Escepción Don José

Nothin’ left to do but smile, smile, smile. 🙂

While likely impossible to ever say for sure, it is widely accepted that Bob Weir has played more live concerts than just about anyone in history. 15 years old until 79 years old. Trey Anastasio on Bobby: Bobby told me incredible stories about his life during those days at the beach house. He told me how he was still in high school when the first acid test happened. When it was over, the sun came out, and he had to do his math homework as he raced back to school on the train. He said after the second or third acid test, he looked down at his homework and said, “Nah.” And that was it. The rest of his life was on the road, in the Grateful Dead and other bands.
