The wife surprised me with a round of golf at my favorite local course with 3 great friends for my birthday today. Along with the great company, I enjoyed my first RASS, and San Cristobal. I will have to say that the RASS is now my new favorite cigar. Although the burn was not very good the flavor more than made up for it. I need to get more!
Welp, today's my birthday. celebrated a lot of things while smoking an RyJ Short Churchill...one of my alltime faves, 'cept this one had a pretty tight draw. oh well.
yesterday was the 1 yr anniversary of me losing my job. turns out that was a very good thing. i was a miserable person while working that job. lots of stress and the ever-present feeling that I just wasn't good enough for that company...turns out that feeling was right, i wasn't good enough. but i've moved on to bigger and better things. i now run my own company and am in control of my own destiny. that's a good feeling. and while business is a little slow right now, that doens't mean it won't change. and in all honesty, what service industry business takes off like gang busters the minute they open the doors?!?! so i realize that i'm gonna have to put some blood, sweat and tears into this thing and massage it and breathe some life into it. but the fruits of all that work will go to me, not someone else. and that's another good feeling.
plus, my schedule is what i want it to be. if i need to pick up the kid from school, i can do it. if she has a soccer game, i'm there. if she's home sick, i can take care of her. no more being out of town inconvienently, no more sticking all the parenting responsiblities on my wife. who, i might add, has been extremely supportive over the last year.
so i've celebrated over the last 2 days...yesterday the 1 yr anniversary of a new life, and today, my 35th birthday.
what are you guys smoking today??

Happy Birthday. Enjoy.
As for smokes, currently having a Camacho San Luis Y Martinez gifted to me from a friend at work. Never heard of them and while it's not a knock your socks off smoke, it is very good. My allergies are also playing hell on me.
