Would you like a Cigar?

Tatuaje Tattoo. Cold beer, and burgers on the grill.

I have had some of the Ave Maria Lionheart's. Good smokes. I want to sample more of the Ave Maria blends.
 
Hell's furnace is upon us in the desert. Stopped down to the Cigar shop to grab some sticks, and cool off with a Cigar and cold 7up.

No Cigar shop is complete without the wood Indian.

Arturo Fuente 858.View attachment 350693

I almost always enjoy smoking an Arturo Fuente. They may be a bit fragile but are tasteful, beautifully finished with usually a golden wrapper.
 
Mine this weekend was a Montecristo Epic...I probably wouldn't call it epic though...

The first inch was ok but taste was a little mild. Then all of a sudden the flavors exploded and poured out massive smoke, but there was also an unpleasant harshness that normally comes after the halfway point. The good flavored powered me through 2/3rd the way before letting it go out.

It was ok but not a consistent experience. I liked the Platinum better
 
I buy one of those on occasion. You are right, that they are a fine smoke. The kind of cigar that once you light it, you don't want it to end.
agreed, I smoked this down until my fingers were burning!
 
Last night I had an Ashton Cabinet Select with Wild Turkey Rarebreed barrel proof.

First time smoking a torpedo; they have always intimidated me for some reason. I was very impressed with the toughness of the head - it still felt very solid in the mouth 2 hours in.

As to the cigar - spectacular! It literally tasted exactly the same (medium body oak and cedar with just a touch of rye spice) from the first puff to the nub. While some may view this as a slight negative, I really like the consistency due to the fact this flavor profile is exactly what I am looking for.

The Ashton Cabinet is a great premium and probably my 2nd favorite cigar I've had.
 
Happy Father's Day, good start to the day a Cuban cigar with dark Costa Rican coffee at the lake. Have a great day all!

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!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
