Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

[Wasch_24]

I haven't smoked since Monday...got hit bad with some sort of alergies...there is green pollen all over the place.

Gave me a sore throat and crazy sinus pain...it was so bad it made my farking teeth hurt!

Finally fading away now though.

I had a very nice Sig I on the drive in and a PLPC later.

 

[AZsteelman]

I started with a Boli PC from '97 and coffee.

For lunch, I had a nasty unbanded who knows what the hell it was but it tasted like ---never mind, it was awful!

I just finished a LARGE glass of scotch and a Gurkha Regent my wife got me a year ago for my birthday...it was absolutely fantasticic.

What's on for you fellers todaay?

Chuck, do you know what year the PLPC was?

Tonight is Opus X tasting night--I'm hosting a micro-Herf at my house tonight to introduce some folks to Opus X cigars. There's gonna be 5 of us smoking, and 3 of them haven't had an Opus X before.

After that, we're all probably gonna migrate into either CC Montes or NC Cuesta-Rey Stanford No9s.

Should be a good cigar night. :devil:

Started the day with a bowl of McClelland 5100 and later, a bowl of Frog Morton - Across the Pond. Finished the evening with a Series A from '02. A good smoking day. . .

I took the youngest of my three daughters out for a walk. She had her little bike and I had a Monte Esp#1 from 97.

LOL! No, no one got sick...these were are all cigar smokers, they just hadn't had Opus before. But it went well, and was pretty much exactly what I expected. Comments included:


"This is a really good friggin cigar; it's got an almondy-nutty flavor"

"It's good, but wasn't what I was expecting compared to a normal Fuente"

"Crap, my cigar just went out..."

"This is my favorite cigar I've had so far"

"I like it, but I've had $5 cigars I like as well or better"

"Crap, my cigar just went out again!"

"Yeah, my cigar just went out again too."

"This mellowed out in the middle, but it's picked up nicely at the end"

"The flavor of this Robusto size is different from the larger Opus sizes"

"Where's the lighter?"

"Crap, I think I've got a nicotine buzz!"

"Can someone hand me a lighter?"

:smokingbo

I'm going to smoke a Siglo VI in a few.......

thats funny, im having one now. :smokingbo

i was split between lighting up the cohiba or a CAO criollo, neither of which i've had before.

the siglo VI is rather nice... perhaps it will become my first (genuine) ISOM box purchase :blob:

 

[Electric Sheep]

I opened my humi and stared at the large pile of NCs that I've been neglecting...decided I was in a maduro mood, so I grabbed a Hoyo Excalibur Dark Knight.

Sitting on the front porch smoking it right now.

 

[Headbanger]

An 01 Punch SS #1 while doing yard work, smoked for an hour and twenty minutes. Was medium strength, mostly cedary. Still needs more time to improve.

Bowl of Pembroke after lunch; a Bolivar Corona as I write. . .:smile:
