Petit Royales. Tasty, but underfilled. Sadly, a permanent tendency of tunneling spoiled the enjoyment.

I also enjoy these. Too bad they are only made in Cuba!!!!😂

In my defense ,most of what I post is never rooted firmly in fact.

Yeah, I took it as that 😅

But you see him often linked with those Toskani, likely simply due to those Italian Westerns (despite the fact the movies were mostly done in Spain 😉). I don’t know what Eastwood smoked either, but in a doco about him, he would mention that it was his idea to add that cigar smoking habit to his character. He mentioned he took a few boxes of (cheap) American stogies with him to the set.

Not been smoking much lately. Been busy at work, and at home. If I sit down, light a cigar, I abruptly wake and find my cigar rolling on the ground... 😝

The other day it was really nice out so I pulled out a RAPC and spent an hour with the pooch on the porch!

The RAPC, Tejava, relaxing pooch, and nice weather combo is top notch! Doesn't get any better than that. Truth.

Also RyJ Petit Royales. Bit fresh. But well behaved.

Smoking good besides the touch ups, but it is 45f and 93% humidity outside. Had to get one in while no rain today! 👍

E2 and Edmundo Dantes such a good pairing...

Just ate a plate of cavatelli sausage and rapini, finished off with an espresso and a series D no.4. Dry boxed since Tuesday. Flavors seem bolder than I remember having it straight out the humidor. It’s a carbs day…

"Eye of the Shark" (purchased in 2021, though unknown age).  (2016 was Carlos Sr.'s 80th birthday for which these were created, at least as stated on the box, but I don't know when and for how long these were/are later issued.)  

First time I had one (in 2021), this cigar was so strong it chased my wife off of the deck(!)  She exclaimed "I do not understand what you enjoy about those things!" and it took me a while to get her to sit together again that afternoon. It was a beast, though I still enjoyed it   

This cigar is now much more composed. Any formerly "rough edges" melded into very pleasant transitions, though it's still medium to full-on in strength. Quite nice. Cinnamon and cedar with nice transitions.  

Keen to see how another couple of years bring it along.

I have never seen Clint Eastwood smoking cigars or promote his passion for cigars outside of his movies. He might not be a cigar lover like Sylvester or Arnold.

This is an astute observation. Clint smoked those cigars in the Dollars trilogy (i.e. the films, ' A Fistful of Dollars', 'For a Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly') because director Sergio Leone was an Italian filmmaker who had a grand passion for all things American, especially its history and cinema. Clint was definitely not a smoker, but he had to do it for these films to maintain Leone's authentic vision.

For example, if we take the truly brilliant Western, 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' we plainly see extensive use of long dust jackets which Leone saw in a reference book from the American Civil War, which is the period in which this film is set. Later Hollywood Westerns copied this trend, perhaps most famously in 'Tombstone'.

Also, notice the colour of these hats these characters wear in these films. In the 50s and earlier, Hollywood Westerns typically had the hero wear a white hat and the villain/s wear black ones so the audience could clearly distinguish them. The beauty of Leone's films is that, like the characters, the hats are all a shade of grey (or similar).

Long week. Hope this does the trick.

Got a pair something rollin’ around. Bought them on release out of curiosity, but never got around to smoking one. Now you got me intrigued... 😅

Been about a year since smoked from that same box code. I felt at time it needed additional rest and had yet to peak. How was this stick?
