    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Out of abundance of caution and curiosity, I went ahead and opened all remaining 8 tins of the 22 CF I had cellared and jarred it. All the tins had some level of this going on, lining up with the black paper excuse from Sutliff. Most, except the tin with the rusty lip had that typical dark...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Cigar Saturday before it’s too hot. Perdomo 12yr Bale/Barrel aged. Bit of a monster. Thinking I need to order some smaller cigars for this kind of occasion. Yummy!

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Hi there old Friends! I haven’t posted in a long time. I’ve started a business and have a new beautiful lady. Both are exciting and taking up a lot of my time. Relaxing after some yardwork with some Bill Bailey’s Balkan Blend in a Radice.
