Would you like a Cigar?

got back from working outta town tonight, decided on the Olivia series V, it’s a nice mellow smoke, I usually prefer madero wrappers, but this one is mellow, the best part is being able to enjoy it home with the pups and a good gin and tonic.
 
It is hot as held and super humid today. Sitting outside my cover patio with three fans blowing :ROFLMAO: and enjoying a Romeo Y Julieta by AJ Fernandez.

Ye, it’s hot here as well, 81* F, smoking an Oliva Corunja I believe, wrapper is running a bit, so many chores to catch up on, and here I sit with my pups with a fine cigar and a gin and tonic, looking forward to retirement
 
#2 for the night...Liga Privada #9...been in the humidor awhile. I don't recall but this is a great smoke, earthy tones that remind me of a Padron.

One my favorites by Drew State, always good.

Smoked an Undercrown Maduro while watching the Braves. Unfortunately they lost tonight. :confused:

Its been a long time since I have posted on this thread. I am sure amazed at how much participation it has! In celebration, I will be choosing one of these bad boys I have had for more than a year in the humidor. Pictures of the smoke and whisky to follow... :) Cheers!

Fine supply. I too age cigars and it makes all the difference.

Of those the Upman is my least fave. Others like and I just don’t.

I have had a couple hit or miss with the Upman, but everytime I am in a Casa Del Habano, I have to bring back some. I am leaning more towards Bolivar or Partagas this time.
 
I gravitate to montecristo 2.

Non Cuban I love atabay.
 
I love it when my mother spoils me :ROFLMAO: :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.
