Would you like a Cigar?

I really like the "Best Seller" as well.. just slightly longer, and just a tiny bit more ring gauge, which makes the blend just a tiny bit different.. (I find the best seller to be a little more creamy)...

All of the hemingways are great... but for whatever reason I gravitate toward the smaller sticks in that line.. they were a top 10 go-to smoke for me back when I was doing some serious collecting and smoking.. I used to go through at least a couple of boxes of short stories a year (back when I was consuming 300-400 cigars a year and maintaining a collection of +/- 2500)...

I do my best to maintain a healthy supply of cigars in my 2000 cigar humidor, but darned if I don’t smoke the lot down to a few hundred and then it cost me a fortune to build back the inventory. And it sure doesn’t help when you enablers keep posting great cigars and I keep buying! Wish I had @Para45’s Mom in the family
 
Thank you uncle Mort, I am lucky to have such a wonderful and special mom.
 
109 degrees today.....yuck!.....We dont see fall weather until December....lol

I haven't really smoked anything new & exciting lately. Just the usual suspects.

I did pick up this My Father Fonseca Edition MX to sample.
Similar in price to the Le Bijou.
It's an earthy and robust cigar, with a spicy finish that's not too over the top.

Has anyone heard from Uncle Mort? Not sure if Helene impacted his area or not.

@BourbonTrail, were you impacted by Helene at all?

We got lucky this thing shifted east of us, and it missed us by about 40 miles. A town called Dublin was not so lucky. :confused:

We just had enough rain to saturate the ground, and I think Nashville wasn’t too bad off as some of our friends in Shelbyville, TN checked out ok.

East TN is a mess, as is all of mountain NC.

Some folks I know in Radford, VA said the New River crested 31ft above normal (high water mark is at 14ft above normal).
 
There are a number of great sticks out there but my all time go-to is the H. Upmann by A J Fernadez. It is my fav.

Are there better? Probably, are there other great cigars? definitely. But, when the AJ's are in the humidor, I have a hard time choosing anything else.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
