Would you like a Cigar?

Yesterday I worked my a$$ off doing yard work, and it turned out to be a 3 cigar day. This is what I smoked.

1. Wild Hunter by Oscar Valladeres, a good friend bought it for me because it had my name "Oscar" on the label. :D It was a mild-med blend, not complex at all, but overall good smoke.
2. Oliva Connecticut torpedo. Good med blend cigar.
3. CAO Heritage, med-full blend cigar, with hit notes of cocoa & coffee. First time smoking this one, and it a delicious cigar, I didn't want to put it down. I also drank a couple of glasses of Amarula. :)
This afternoon was an Oliva V maduro cigar. As you all know one of my favorite cigars.

Wanted to sit out and smoke another, but the WX here in GA has been real dog sh*t all day. So, I'll have to settle for a one cigar day. :(

I received a shipment of cigars today, so I decided to try an “ALEC BRADLEY - SUPERSTITION” this evening. I thought it was a little on the strong side and no complexity at all. Still doable, but it’s no MY FATHER.

A while back, I made a couple of these single cigar holders.

I love a good cigar, my favorites are Gurkha with a Madura wrapper, rocky patel and Cohibas with the red label, best one I smoked was an Oscar by Oscar Fuentes with a green label on it I forget the name though.

I haven't smoked a Gurkha yet, but I did get some today. I'll be trying one soon.

Was looking forward to this one as reviews claimed mocha and syrup. Unfortunately for me, this was not a sweet smooth maduro. It was a bit astringent and stale with a pepper finish that lingered.

Good points - razer sharp burn requiring zero touchups all the way through.

But I won't smoke another nor did I enjoy this one

If anyone is concerned about the Zippo in the pic, it is a butane insert

We called in 7 different birds... but couldn’t get the first pair, or two different singles to come into range...

Finally got a threesome of two year old gobblers to come within about 35 yards... we bagged two of the three...

One was a red beard.... pretty rare, and very cool bird!

@Ravensview, any cigar with a name like "Oscar" has to be good. :LOL::LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

@mdwest, thank you sir. If I would have had a morning like that, a My Father would have definitely been in order. Congrats sir and thank you for sharing.

Ok Para, I confess I am an engineer geek, but that’s irrelevant here because Your single stick humidor is neat!

I just realized the reason for liking “Oscar” in the name after reading through the above posts

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!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
