    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    You’ve tempted me to take a nice cigar up to the southern shore and spend some quality time listening to the waves myself. I’ll have to do that before the snow hits

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    After complaining about yesterday’s Sobremesa, I got a hankering for an Umbagog this afternoon. Apparently that spider is envious, but I’m not going to share. Thinking back, yesterday’s Sobremesa did take a long time to light, supporting my theory that it was too damp. This Umbagog lit much...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    What a view! I hope that you've had a great vacation! I haven't had a Sobremesa before, but based on previous experience with the Umbagog, I'm inclined to blame the conditions rather than the cigar. I bought some Umbagogs from Cigar Page in January, and tried one after 2 weeks in the humidor...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    This afternoon’s cigar was a Sobremesa Short Robusto. I got it 2 weeks ago in a sampler from Famous Smoke, and I guess I was too eager: the aroma was very pleasant, but the cigar itself was pretty dense, the draw was fairly tight, and the flavor muted: mostly damp tobacco. I expected better...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    More BRM in the Falcon bowls for me today, along with a Plasencia Alma del Campo in the afternoon. I was going to have some English blend, but the BRM called me.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Today I have no obligations, so I’m finally getting around to the Alma Del Campo I bought 3 weeks ago to celebrate the end of my wife’s UP quilting store quest I’m hoping to find that I don’t enjoy this one as much as the last, since they’re the second most expensive cigar I’ve had yet...

    Green Bay, Wisconsin, Meetup?

    I’m about 3 hours north, but we’re likely to make our semiannual excursion to GB on 8/31: I could probably carve out an hour in the afternoon to meet you all, if it happens to be that day. If not, I can try to make it in September too.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    I’m working outside on the deck in the 86 degree heat, continuing to break in the Falcon bowls with 1/2 bowl of BRM each. I really enjoy the cherry aroma combined with the light aroma and flavor of the toasting tobacco. It’s probably going to be the first tin I finish.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I’m reading The Cabinet of Dr Leng by Preston and Child. My wife and I have read all their books since The Relic. They are probably the best to fill the void left when Crichton died: not great, but at least they were smart enough to keep their best character (Agent Pendergast). As summer page...
