Seems like everywhere I go the cost of a Cuban is prohibitive. In Riviera Maya, at the resort cigar lounge, a Partagas Series D #4 was $90USD. In a Vancouver cigar shop, $100, and on a cruise in the Med, it was $125USD. For a single stick mind you. Used to get in the Amsterdam or Doha airports...

Now that is the picture in Wikipedia of “contentedness”!

I tell folks I caught them in my mole traps.

Giraffe is great. Always amazes me how big the noggin is on a giraffe. I have a couple of skulls on my porch and they’re huge.

Fabulous trip and great report. Thanks for sharing!

You sir, would be correct! But I do love your taste in Maduros! Blessings for a safe and prosperous safari!

Congrats!

I was able to take a nice dik dik in Tanzania near Ruaha. They were quite plentiful in the area where I saw them. Flat arid sand pan with low scrub. I shot with a solid from my 375 H&H, and was told to sight two fingers behind shoulder as to not blow it up. Worked perfectly.

My family when our kids were young used to go to Honduras on mission trips building homes(shacks), distributing food and clothing, etc. same thing happened there. Due to drugs and gangs, the mission trips had to cease due to safety concerns. A sad situation indeed for the true needy.

You just saved me $10,500 in a weak moment. I just read complete thread and was going to pull the trigger, but alas, an angel intervened. Congrats on your snag!

Awesome resource Rookhawk. Thanks for taking the time to compile, even if motivation was selfish

Awesome mounts! Congrats on your success!

That, or born to take your drug test for ya.

Awesome! Congrats!

Awesome work!

Above is my leopard from a couple of years ago, and now residing in my TV room. Below the mount is an original piece of art of various types of cigar cutters that a late friend’s wife gifted me after his passing. Both pieces are very special!

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Second Oliva Series V this morning. Back from turkey hunting on opening morning with my son. Fabulous morning in the woods.

Congrats on following your heart and your passion! I hope this endeavor can be updated from time to time so we can live vicariously through your journey. Kudos!

I enjoy reading this thread, but it reminds me of disagreements between me and my wife of 37 years. Argument can be about anything. We both start out calmly sharing facts about each point of view, say to eat in or go out. At some point out of nowhere, the exchange deteriorates into emotion. Then...

Bino’s received and just as promised. Mark is great to deal with, communicates well, and just a joy to do business with. You can trust anything he puts on AH as fairly described, represented and priced!

Welcome to the AH community as a participant, not just a lurker! Enjoy your safari!

Butter Face - Everything but her face

I have a box of the 10th Anniversary Maduro in the humidor. I think both the 20th and 10th are wonderful smokes. Tasty and well constructed.

Wife wouldn’t let me on the plane unless I shaved. As much time as I am spending smoking cigars, I need to keep radio static to a minimum. I think I’ll call Fuente for an interview. Official taster!

In Riviera Maya for my oldest son’s wedding this week and resort has a cigar bar. Amanda keeping me in Cuban Partagas #[emoji640] and I am happy, happy happy!

Another fabulous movie that epitomizes Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Buford T. Justice

Please tell me you are in your sixties. My wife wonders how I can quote every silly movie from the seventies but still confuse my two children’s names.

Various lines I often quote. Genres are mixed, so don’t lock yourself in. Where’s your Sargent son? Blown up, sir. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. Dying and much of a living, boy. Now I know why tiger eat their young.

I like the bottom picture of the two Dagga boys side by side….

Been there, done that as passenger many times. Very high pucker factor!!

Memories over things!

I live in Nashville and parked at the convention center every day. $20 last year and no problem entering or exiting. Pay the attendant when you arrive, and then no issues departing whenever. Again, this was last year so cannot confirm what 2025 will bring.

Awesome! [emoji122]

Happy belated birthday Oscar. We must have same mailman. I swear he just delivered the same order! I see we keeping Cigar Page busy!

Loved it. Great to see your son appreciate the full experience rather than just putting hands on the prize. Hard earned, well deserved!

Hope cigar smokin’ been keeping you away!

I used to duck hunt out of San Fernando Mexico twice a year, up until the last trip several years back. An assortment of events told my inner self it was not worth it and the risk of leaving my family without a husband and father. Humorously, as we sat in the “red light, green light que” for our...

Very interested in seeing what your book reveals. As a devout Christian, I am always up for broadening my beliefs in light of what is available. I know my understanding of God is finite. The way I believe we are designed and as revealed in scripture. But at 63 years of age, I also like to...

Merry Christmas all and blessings for a joyful and safari filled 2025! Luke2:8-20

Nice Apocalypse Now reference!

I’ve hunted with Kemp Safaris and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their actions stated above are indicative of their passion not only for hunting and conservation, but of their family values and moral fiber. Read my hunt report if you care to see the complete story of this incredible...

Enjoyed my 25 year old son getting his first TN buck opening morning, and smoking copious amounts of cigars with my buddy Tom and his dad Mr Tom. We play the wind for sure!

This originally was done as a 13’ 2” flat skin rug. I guess I am spatially challenged as I did not realize how big that really was. After spending years in the garage, I got creative and cut the head off the rug so it could be displayed on my porch. Don’t miss the rest of the rug at all.

Prayers offered up.

Welcome to the AH community! Post away.

My youngest son with his first TN buck and our friend Mr Tom who let us come hunt opening morning. He’s taken deer in KY and Michigan with bow and gun, but this was his first in his home state.

Awesome. Just awesome! [emoji122] What a great combination of experiences, and I love the passion you exude in your recounting for other’s hunts and successes, not just your own. That to me is the real passion of being outdoors. Just the experience of being there is more than enough to get the...
