Frankly, my last box of those was a terrible disappointment

Intrigued, how did they let you down?

Several plugged sticks and several that had underfermented (green) leaves in them and tasted harsh.

cheers for the feedback...MSU?

No but I don’t recall the factory code - they were from 2016.

Mine were MSU JUN 17 and every one was spot on. Don't think I had a bad one. Just lit up now and it's beautiful, perfect draw, deep earth and dark chocolate. Even a hint of what I'm tempted to call mintiness which cuts through it all nicely.

Hope mine are MSU - they actually haven’t shipped yet.

Met up with the lads for a smoke! One of the bros actually gave each of us a Hoyo 2004 LE. Took a short but good smoke break and back to studying for my exams on Monday! Enjoy your weekends!

I went on a bike ride in Rocky Mountain National Park this morning.  Old Fall River road is closed to vehicles and open to bikes and hikers for a couple of months, weather permitting. It's a nine-mile dirt road with about 3300 feet / 1km elevation gain.

 

It was a beautiful, sunny morning with the temp at 34 °F / 1 °C when I started at 8:00am. Sadly, outside of birds and chipmunks, this was the only wildlife I saw on the drive to the parking lot.

 

The buildings on the left are my destination.  I'm at about five miles up I think.

 

I'm almost above treeline here.  It's good there's not much snow on the road.

 

I'm above treeline here at around mile 8.

 

I'm finally at the top. Trail Ridge road, the main road over the mountains, is closed today and so is the visitor center.  It's been getting cloudier and started to snow a little.

 

The view as you leave the visitor center to continue on Trail Ridge.  I'll be heading back down the way I came though on Fall River road.

 

Obligatory selfie to prove I was here.

They will be ETP. But don't worry, they all are always Partagas-made (unlike BBF and BRC), at least I have never seen any different in years (i.e. ... ULA, ETP, MSU). '16s will be ETP, switch to MSU occurred mid 2017. So, quality in those is never (and sadly won't ever be) a matter of factory, it is vintage and box-variability. But either way, very rarely a disappointment for me. But true, they are usually rolled to the compacter side.

This will help me forget the 14 hour flight.

So, it turns out I got sort of a talent when it comes to taking pictures of flowers, so that's what I did this weekend. Not really sure what to do with this "gift", though... Thinking of starting an Instagram account just with macro shots.

Oskee Wee Wee Baby!!

Our local CFL team, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, set a team record for most wins in a single season. Not bad for a team founded in 1869.

13 wins 3 losses. Clinched First place.

A few additions to our small flock. A little fancy for my tastes, but the Missus wanted them.

Amazing sunset from the porch...

These psp coro came with some blue string inside the bundle. Hopefully none made it inside the cigars.

Took a walk with my wife and a custom Piramide by the river last week.  The Fall colors are starting to kick in.
