It's been about the same here in So Cal. Ranging from 102° to 106°

Although, surprisingly that Sunday was a lot cooler because some dark clouds rolled in. It was like 90. But yeah, this week is as you have stated. Looking forward to some cooler weather for sure. 👍 

Ouch, that’s pretty damn hot for SoCal. I used to live in Ventura and would only see mid/high 90’s when the Santa Ana’s were blowing. Don’t recall seeing 100’s in the 35 yrs I lived there.

So happy to have recovered my babies after they went missing. This thing is delicious and burning pretty. Cheers!

@PuroDiario, I am so damn happy for you. I know the feeling (car stolen from my house), makes one feel violated. I bet that stick was the best tasting ever.

As they say, it’s better to be lucky than good.

First Canonazo.  Don’t get the volume of smoke I’d prefer and ended up smoking it too fast as a result.  Going to give it another 30 days at least before trying the next one. And use a cutter instead of a punch.

MAR OCT 20 Esmeralda

I love Esmeraldas in general, but there is something really special about these EL boxes.  This one is like heaven.

Attended a herf this past Saturday. Had some excellent cigars.

2002 LGC MdO No 3.

ERDM La Reina.  Very good but was expecting more "wow".

Davidoff Signature No 1 (Throwback Lancero)  This was an excellent smoke. Exceeded my expectations. Very dynamic flavour ranges, body changed often from medium to bold.  Claro wrapper was a bit "meh" but this performed like a champ.  It doesn't hold a candle to the 1970 Davidoff No 1 I smoked, but it was a fine attempt.

2010 VR Unico. aka "Coffee cigar".  Just divine.

Had a few more after these but at this point my palate was shot.  😁

Awesome!  I'm 14 years in.  It certainly takes daily diligence.  Nicely done brother.

Massive congrats to you Mate.  We all try to enjoy what life has to offer in variety and with discipline. Lots of us either get it wrong, or find it tough.   It takes a massive amount of self knowledge and guts to draw a line in the sand. 

Hat's off to you.

Yeah, I'm out in Riverside. This is normal here for summer unfortunately. Sometimes I just need to go to the beach or mountains to escape this.

In Manhattan for some meetings. Normal routine one night is to go to the original Smith & Wollensky’s. Did not disappoint. Cracked a new box of MEL NOV 15 RACA and enjoyed it after dinner. Long walk back to the hotel to work off some of the steak.

Looks like a great evening! How were those RACAs? I have a box that isn't cracked yet from RAE JUL 15. Going to take some camping in October. Looking forward to it 😊

I’ve gone through quite a few boxes and generally I have really enjoyed them. This was the first from this box and I’d say it was very good but not great. Part of that may be based on my past experiences I was expecting a lot from it.

Left Manhattan and spent the day in the NJ office. Finished the day up with an RAE MAR 15 Punch Punch from a cab.
