Regius Black Label c/o @WNYTONY in the Everyday Cigar MAW. In fact, MANY of my weekend sticks were from Tony's humidors. I was like a kid on Halloween, ate all the candy before I got it home :)

Well I finally made it out back. I just had the blues going out back at the scene of the murder of my pet chicken. There's still signs of her being murdered but I'm trying to cope with it as there's still feathers about. El Gato Negro must pay a price soon so I can have closeure. I may try to return to the site of the murder and finally enjoy a cigar soon, but the blues have been heavy on my soul.....
LOL, I told Mrs. Bruck I had a great strategy for us both to beat last year's times - we'd run together for the first half mile or so, at which point I'd give her a good spank & then she could chase me for the rest of the race trying to retaliate. She didn't quite buy into it :)

& for the record, having a Rocky Patel 1961 - a good cheapie!
Crowned Head Court Reserve. Tasty cigar. I highly recommend giving this one a try if you can.

It was prolly a coon. You can get a Duke dog proof trap pretty cheap, then you can get some revenge!
If it was really a stray cat you'll probably have to bust out the 12 gauge... unless you have a live trap and some cheap sardines.
Buck up little camper, a new chick will only set you back a couple bucks at the local farm store this spring :p
Tuesday. Vegas Cubanas Corona...5.5x44. Smoked my very last cigar on this wet day. Going to seem weird to open the humidor and find nary a trace of baccy, can't remember this happening before. There's a B&M not all that distant, may well pay a visit.
Burn time. One Hour and eight Minutes.

Damn. Sorry for your loss, brother. Damn predators.
For me tonight: an all time favorite, rested to perfection.

5 years in the humi aint hurt it a bit..

No! I am so sorry David. The same thing happened with my pet duck when I was a little girl. I found her half-eaten body down by the lake. It is bad enough to lose a pet to old age or illness, but to lose them to an act of predation is horrible. I hope it gets better!

Nope, perfectly unmelted. They are my post-lunch treat at the office :)

I hear antifreeze on bologna works wonders, but don't let vengeance get the best of you.
Sick again for a couple of days. This cold sucks, but the doctor prescribed this suppository. I decided to smoke it instead.

Going to try a smaller RG next time on these, there was something off about them, which surprised me since I like most Tats I have tried.

All right - what gives ? This doesn't fit into your normal rotation - lose a bet or something ? :poke:

Thursday. Flor De Las Antillas Robusto...5x50. Think this may well be my first time for the box Pressed Robusto, Know I've smoked some of the Toro size.
Quite nice, easy light, sharp burn line, no need to touch up or relight, real nice retrohale, by the way the "box code" on these is 11 September 2018, so already extensively aged.Smoked this one eight minutes after getting and opening the box and happy to find that they've aged well, still having some flavour.
Burn time. One Hour and Elrven Minutes.

My last of these for a while, not a bad stick flavor wise, but every one was seriously tight on the draw. Maybe next time.

Rancho Luna maduro in a toro, got this from local B&M turns out to be from father and brother of Christian Eiorra ( spelling ?) JRE Tobacco . draw, construction and burn all excellent. a good solid smoke with nice flavor
This afternoon I had a 7X52 Cuban Crafters Cabinet Cigar.:stogie: This cigar has been resting in my 65% rh humidor since 9-2-2012 and I have not smoked this cigar for more than two years. After lighting, this cigar gave me leather, spice and a delicious chocolate; the abundant and delicious flavors surprised me. The construction of this cigar was very good with no difficult veins, non correcting burn, and a draw that was a little on the loose side which was great for me. I prefer to sip my cigars.:leprechaun: After smoking this stick, I realize that this cigar was special and I took another look at it. This was a beautiful brown box pressed cigar with a curly head which was aged three years before shipping; it contained long fillers and was hand made in the old Cuban style. I looked at my notes on this cigar from 2012 and I definitely liked this cigar but I can now understand and appreciate the quality of this cigar compared to others. I now understand some of the things that you guys appreciate about your Cuban cigars.:wave: I topped off this cigar with a large hot cup of coffee and I had a wonderful afternoon.:santa:

Late Night Thursday ~ Early Friday Morning. Flor De Las Antillas Robusto...5x50. first one was good, so just had to burn another. Tho the Corona size is often my first choice have to say this Robusto's larger Ring Gauge smokes well, can't knock the box press either, yeah it's pretty sharp, but not overly so, that is the four sides are not concave. The image, does make the box press look a bit more square than the reality. Anyway, I do sort of like smokes from Pepin Garcia & Co.
Burn time. An hour and Eight Minutes.
