I'm always guilty of wasting at least 1 cigar from every box solely because of my lack of patience.

I’ve had lots of Connie A’s from 2014 and they been great. Still have a couple of boxes of those but picked up a couple of boxes of 2017’s in Havana in March. One of the boxes had quite light wrappers compared to the other boxes I’ve had and was a little concerned. Cracked open one of the boxes today and feel a lot better now; it was great.

Wow, By the angle of the pic it looks a lot bigger than that.

It looks really nice!

The wild turkey was a gift and tonight seemed as good as any to try it out. Paired with a Partagas Churchill.

Por Larranaga Monte Carlo with a white wine tasting in Castello Banfi Montalcino Italia

Purchased the cigar as a single from a Habanos Specialist in Florence. Got a CORO in a tubo as well which I’m saving for tonight after a good meal. Ciao

Made myself a Cafecito de Cuba, added a smidge of HC7 and then fired up a 1998 PSDC No 1.  It had a tight draw, so I put my PerfectDraw to use with good results.

 

Just got a perfecdraw myself. I feel a whole lot better about buying cubans now.

I smoke cubans almost exclusively, but every now and again, I return to OpusX or Padron and appreciate them even more. They are truly epic smokes and always live up to expectations. I have a bunch of OpusX I bought in 1998-1999. Here’s one next to a new OpusX....I’ve only smoked one and it was the best cigar I’ve ever had. The one I had was so dark it appeared to be an OpusX Maduro.

TBH I've been smoking CC's since 2009 and I've only had about 5/6 plugged cigars, two of which I had to pitch right off the bat.  I bought this so I wouldn't have to pitch any vintage sticks with a tight draw.  According to some friends who are well familiar with the PerfecDraw, I overdid it with that hole I bored out. I watched an instructional video afterwards, and I definitely went beyond what was typically needed. I think that hole ended up tainting the last 3rd for me, which I ended up pitching.    I was getting too much or an acrid taste. Very similar to when you purge a cigar and relight it an hour or so later.  Not pleasant at all.  But, the tool did let me enjoy most of the cigar.

Made a big pan of biscuits and gravy this morning. Now some coffee and a cigar. This afternoon we’re gonna head up to Arlington and catch a Texas Rangers game. Have a great weekend FOH!

Many thanks to my friend @teckneekz for this one.

I see that you use a v-cutter alot for your smokes.  Is the cut better than my Palio cutter?

Thanks

I’m not sure if it’s better than a straight cut but I’ve been enjoying the draw it gives me. I’ve had this cutter for a couple years and never used it, I pulled it out about six months ago and haven’t stopped using it since. I guess it’s all personal preference. I loved my Palio but it broke one day and they haven’t been quite the same since the company sold.

Still “working” out of the cigar club lounge at the Ritz in St. Louis.

Nice! I don’t really drink whites but I’d love to be there for a tasting of there Brunello’s. Doing that at the winery with a cigar, wow that would be awesome.

Don Pepin Cuban Classic belicoso. Haven't had one in years. Do they taste Cuban? No.

They are, however, a pretty masterful blend that augments the Nicaraguan twang, rather than shoving it in your face like most Nicaraguans seem to do. The caramel hiding behind the soft leather is a real treat. I have 4 left to age for a while.
