Would you like a Cigar?

My favorite combination: a Cohiba Esplendido and 18 year-old Macallan.

Just had a , Gilberto Oliva - Reserva Blanc. Very similar in flavor to the La Promesa.
 
Java by Drew Estate. 5x58

I am still pretty new to this hobby, but I am not opposed to infused cigars. I was a bit disappointed by Java but hesitantly would still give it a 4 out of 5

Pros:
Wonderful coffee and chocolate wrapper taste
Nice even burn and it burned down to the 2" mark

Cons:
Really no other taste aside from the wrapper
The square 58 ring was probably a bit too big

I have a Tabak and Nub downstairs I am going to try, and from there I'll decide which infused to buy again.
 
Some good deals from Cigars International. I just put in a big order. Had a 25% off coupon from my last order. Along with other discounts and freebies, I just made a pretty good haul for cheap.

I typically don’t do infused.. but I do occasionally enjoy the Tabak dulce... great sweet coffee taste
 
My new Herf-a-dor, travel humidor by Humicare. Holds 40 cigars. Up to 60 if you take out the foam divider trays.
This thing is stout, and would make a good ammo travel case. Has provisions for locks.
I like variety, and it was a combo deal with 40 cigars.

Just looked through several of the many catalogs I get: Famous Smoke Shop, CI, JR’s, Mike’s Cigars, Thompson. Ended up with a nice order for Mike’s with my standard daily smoke El Rey Del Mundo Cafe de Lait, Don Peppin Blue, and My Father Promesa. Should get me through the next couple of weeks of deer hunting in the upper Midwest.

special cigar night tonight...

I got a pair of Liga Privada Unico A's back in 2012... super rare.. not available for purchase... only obtainable at special events or as a personal gift from Drew Estate, etc..

9 1/2" of sheer DE awesomeness...

It took about 2 1/2 hours for a good buddy and I to smoke em down to the nub.... when it came to the end, I couldnt let it go.. my fingers got singed before I was willing to drop the final 1" of the cigar in the ashtray lol...

I'm still waiting to hear about that shopping spree at the B&M.
 
Ive smoked a couple of these already but today's has been sitting in my humidor for six months. Man does it make a difference! Went from really good to borderline great!

I always try and give a month rest but when I can be even more patient I'm often rewarded .

Downside is I've missed out on some great small batch stuff that was sold out by the time I smoked the single.... :mad:

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!
