Would you like a Cigar?

3rd week of October, and daytime temps are still hovering up around 90 degrees.

Evenings are beautiful, and perfect Cigar and BBQ weather.

Topping off the week with a Caldwell, and frosty Cervezas.
 
I like them, they are bold cigars. Let me know how you like them.
 
Great weather Saturday. Football on, and an “O-Man” Series V in hand. Plus, finally got the replacement humidor delivered and got moved inside to acclimate. Can’t wait to load up!

Awesome! How long did it take to get a replacement?

Only a couple of months, but no issues with replacement. They took care of me, shipped replacement without any hassle, and kept me updated. I think this thing is gonna be da bomb. Set up right now at 66 degrees, 70 % humidity.
 
Shoot, we need to pay you a visit to sample those tasty smokes. Oops, I meant to check your humidor. :ROFLMAO:

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
