FPG OSSU - still full of life!

 

Nice Mike, thanks for planting that seed. I’m smoking one now...

Pre light aroma reminded me of frying liver... weird. But I’m enjoying it immensely as I watch the live stream of Global Citizen together at home.

Best to you all my BOTLs. Stay strong, stay healthy.

Awesome! Yours is the Monarcas though. Always thought they had more going on than the Churchill.

Glad you enjoyed!

Stay safe.

'98 Partagás Seleccion Privada No.1 - amazing smoke. Pure old school Partagas!

Thanks Ben (bdw1984)!

Yep, I smoked a 98 Punch Churchill a few days ago, that was not tubo though.

It was excellent! I miss this the Super Selection (both No. 1 and No. 2) most of all the Punch vitolas that have been axed over the past 12 years. 

I still have 1992 SS #2 that was gifted to me by a dear friend before he passed away a few years ago, and I may put the fire to that soon.

No time like the present! I love the #1 as well. And the Black Prince, and the RS#11, and the Corona, and the Ninfas, and the Monarcas, and the - well you get the point. Hard to believe a brand with so many vitolas has been whittled down to almost nothing. SMDH!

Amen Mike. I was just saying the same thing to someone else. Miss the #1 and Coronas most.

Chills, sweats, disorientation and low temp for a short while a week or so back. Chest pains and blood pressure fluctuating between 180/110 and 100/60 last couple of days.

Might have caught the bug

My collection may be going up for clearance sooner than later. Hope not.....

Thank you.

We've been staying in since March 3rd excepting a couple of trips to the grocery store for curbside pickup and the drive-thru bottle shop.

Have even gone to grocery delivery the past week or so.

Doc hooked me up with some meds and feeling better though it's been a little scary.

This thing is insidious.

Glad to hear you're feeling better.  You have to pull through,   how else are the rest of us going to survive without watching you puff through your golden greats!.  

It's been really fun seeing you rotate through the big hitting cigars....and long may it continue!    I know all the FOH members will be wishing you a speedy recovery

So after a visit to the general practitioner yesterday and the cardiologist today it turns out the chest pains are most likely musculoskeletal vs. heart related.

He switched up some meds and scheduled a stress test in a couple of weeks to confirm.

It's quite a relief as I was getting ready to stop smoking ?

Otherwise feel pretty good other than the hernia operation I'm now due for as the doctor yesterday found a small one and popped it back in.

Not sure when that will be happening due to the current hospital situation.

When it rains it pours.

Smoked a Monte 80th after the appointment today. No pictures but a great smoke!
