Would you like a Cigar?

Cheers fellas, I just confirmed dates on my first Safari! Smoke em if ya got em.

That was easy. Challenge accepted. Working on a lovely Partagas Series D #5 Cubano. Only allow myself one a day, of the expensive ones, not cigars, so you are the guy to blame today. Congrats on your safari and do share some details.

I tried the Buffalo trace white dog mash. Strong at 125proof, but not too bad.
I haven't tried their other products yet.
I had a monte white with some remy xo afew days ago, very enjoyable !
 
Just regular OTC Buffalo Trace, will have to track down some Remy XO and try it.
TIA,

Steve
 
I got back a few days ago and was going through my photos to get my Hunt Report going and wanted to share a few that I don't think I posted when I was over there.

I will say I didn't take a good lighter since I thought I could get one there but I could only find a regular Bic lighter so I had to light this one from a coal from the fireplace. I really missed my good lighter!

Waiting on reinforcements to help with loading the kudu...Four of us couldn't get him in the truck! Afterwards they said he weighed 294 kilo = almost 650lbs

Cigar looks good.....the nasty thorns on that branch, not so much
 
GF took her kids to the Dominican Republic, where one of the tours featured a tobacco plantation/cigar factory-She got the most wonderful sampler pack and a bunch of hand-rolled right out of the rollers' hands. I remember when my cigar fanatic friends were so upset w/ the cuban ban, but many great cigars from the DR were discovered. They have all been wonderful-I think because they are so FRESH! Great mosquito control here during times of the year...

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
