Time to celebrate, with a Padron 1964 Aniversario, appropriately called Presidente.

In honor of Kamala Harris, I'm smoking a "Red Witch" by Gurkha.

In the Arizona desert, it goes from 100° one weekend, to a chilly 38° morning the next weekend. Chilly to us desert rats anyway....lol.....Beautiful day.

If you’re in Texas, HEB (at least “my” HEB) had every cigar in the display on heavy (~50%) markdown. Some big names too—Punch, A-F, the Makers Mark ones, etc.

I'm new into Cigars, and I currently prefer the mellow to mild strength, current favourites are Arturo Fuente Chateau (Conneticut Shade) and Montessino (also(Conneticut Shade)

does anyone have any recommendations for other country cigars with similar strength?
 
For mild and mellow, Macanudo instantly comes to mind. Try their Cafe’ line, or any of their “Vintage” lines. I stay far, far away from mild cigars, but do provide on occasion to friends who just aren’t into bold and full maduro sticks.

Honduran and Dominican republic blends are typically milder to medium bodied blends compared to a lot of the more robust blends from Nicaragua.
There are so many its hard to name them all based off of individual preference.
Cigar manufacturers like Monte Cristo are known for mild to medium blends.
One of my favorite Arturo Fuente blends is the Don Carlos, but it's on the pricey side, and I smoke them only occasionally

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
