FOH'ers Daily Smoke

ARG ABR14 JLS1. Not the best one from the box but good construction. Rose lemonade seems to be pretty good pair for a cigar.

El Principe in the lorry by the harbour in St Helier whilst waiting for other people to find a gas main before we get on with work. How do you lose a bloody gas main?

Whatever you do make sure you don't find it while enjoying that bad boy. ?

Enjoy that delightful minuto brother!

Piramides Extra from 2013. Great cigar, flavor strength was not extreme but what I picked up was good. Followed by a LRE ENE10 RASSC. Beautitul. More RASSy than RASSCy, more refined than the younger RASSCs I have had recently.

Afternoon coffee with an Illusione

This is a pretty good cigar. Not knocking my socks off, but none of that peppery NC flavor I’ve come to dislike since getting into Cubans.

It is a very nice and enjoyable cigar.  Is it worth $64 bucks a stick...no.  Do I care...not really

I enjoy smoking cigars and enjoy the experience of it.  I try not to think of it in terms of cost per stick...to a point.  I have lots of cigars I enjoy as much or more that cost less than 25% of this cigar but i wanted a few boxes, just to see.

Its a size I am comfortable with.  The construction was excellent,  The burn was sharp.  The flavors were good (not great but its young).  I imagine they will age well.  That being said, it was fun to smoke and I enjoyed my 90 minutes last night.  I was relaxed and forgot about life and its stresses.  That is what I expect my cigar to do.  I will pay $10 bucks for that or $64 buck for that, but probably not a penny more

If you have the funds, buy a box or a few sticks.  If you don't, or do but don't want to spend it, I sure wouldn't sit around thinking I missed the best cigar ever rolled...

I didn't bother to peel off the stickers on my boxes, so no box code, but here it is... My maiden voyage with this stick...

Edmundo Dantes Bélicoso Exclusivo México

The citrus blast I got out of the gate, not only impressive, but the fragrance is intoxicating.

Cheers men!

Edit: It was pretty good.

The legendary Man O’ War!

I smoke one every year on today’s date.

This was my younger brother’s favorite smoke when we started this hobby together back in 2010, or so. Generally, hilarious times ensued. After I bought a bundle (likely on cbid), we’d smoke these things on camping trips, road trips, pretty much wherever or whenever we had 30+ minutes of downtime when I’d visit him while on break from grad school. 

He passed away at 20 years old, on April 16th, 2012, in a random Monday afternoon car accident during a lunch break from his classes. His friend that was driving walked away physically unscathed. He was a brilliant musician, impromptu comedian, and most importantly, a once in a lifetime friend. 

Smoking one of these every year brings out an array of emotions that is almost indescribable. The simple ritual is satisfying and somehow provides comfort, if not a bit of clarity.  It reminds me of the days when we had no expectations - where the time we spent together was as much the destination as it was the journey. Regardless of the type of day or the stresses it brings, try to take some time away to spend a few minutes with a brother or sister, a friend, your mother or father, your spouse, mentor, or even an acquaintance. Whether it be with a satisfying smoke, or just sitting back in the sunshine on a park bench, coffee in hand. Or, a crappy workplace breakroom, or shop.  In that moment, remember how incredible, yet fragile, life is and it will help slow time down enough to remember who you are, and where you came from. Even if just for a moment. Sitting alone on the porch smoking one of these certainly helped me do just that today.

RA Gigantes, GKI AGO03. Perhaps the best RAG I've ever had. Complex and final third just dotted the i with more classic RASS dark fruit. Marvelous.

If you get the chance Bouley Bay is a great spot for a swim, also 'Feast' in St Martin, is a good spot for some seafood. Although if you're with the lads in digs, I'm guessing you'll be on a nightly ration of 15 pints and little else.

There's only two of us, neither of us drink and I've brought my mountain bike over on the arctic. The digs is actually a four star hotel - It's a tough life in the treespading business!

 

And we're ahead of schedule and may have a free day on Thurs cos the ferry back isn't til Friday
