Would you like a Cigar?

[Uncle Sauce]

Anybody had one of these?

I haven't - Hand down the verdict when your done!

Negative ghost rider, I’ve never heard of them, any good???

BTW, last night CAO Flat Head was not bad at all. It burned well, lots of smoke and flavors of coffee, & cocoa. That one has been in my humidor for well over 6 months. It was better than I remember

Found a box of these Padilla Doctrine cigars I didn’t know I had, so been smoking a few and the burn and taste are quite good. Since I don’t remember buying, can’t say if a good deal but smokes about like a $4 price range cigar, peppery with some oaky undertones. Not bad for a surprise.

The Esteban Carreras wasn't bad for a Connecticut. It was something I grabbed at the Cigar shop this weekend, don't even remember the price. It said, aged 12 years, but I really doubt it.

I bought a couple boxes of Padilla last year. Maduro snd Connecticut. For a budget boutique, I was impressed with the flavor and quality.

I looked Esteban Carreras up, and they had a big banner saying “Lo Mejor de Lo Mejor”…sounds like a big negative on that boastful claim. At least it wasn’t bad

My brother and I recently returned from safari with KMG in SA. We were the only hunters at the Lodge, and I was the only cigar smoker. Undeterred, I burned more than one in the spirit personal pleasure, brotherhood and the hunt. Para and Uncle Sauce others may recognize this place.

Well......looks like the dog days of Summer have arrived. Supposed to be a 110 degrees this weekend, and 112 next week. Double ugh! I really need to move to cooler climates.

I'll just have to try and beat the heat,veith plenty of cold beer, air conditioning, and Cigars of course.

Arturo Fuente Rosado Gran Reserva. Always a good solid smoke.

Sounds like you need a place up on Mt. Lemmon

I was thinking farther north...... Montana. My home away from home.

Although, I might go up to Rose Canyon lake soon for some trout fishing. That road up there makes me nervous. Lots of idiots, and accidents.

Some years ago, I did all the cabinets & millwork on a contractor friends cabin that he built on Mt. Lemmon. The mountain caught fire, and burned his cabin to the ground, along with many others.

I get that. It’s always heavy traffic unless the winter 4x4 requirements are in effect.

I remember one of the years it burned and how it looked like a volcano.

@Mort Hill. Have you started writing your hunt report? If you did, somehow I can't seem to find it.

Half the mountain burned last year in the Bighorn fire.

@PARA45, I have not started a report. My inside support is on vacation this week, well deserved I might add, so between catching up from 3 weeks gone, and playing centerfielder, all I am doing is working. Plan is to start the hunt report this weekend. Have cigars, popcorn and adult beverages ready!

Shout out to the O-man @PARA45 - tried this Oliva Serie V in No 4 size (corona 5x43) this AM. Burned exactly like the Robusto - maybe about 10 min difference in smoking time? Oliva's are definitely consistent.
