    How Do You Cut Yours?

    Depends on the ring gauge and what the cigar is. Small things like a petit corona gets a punch. Anything box pressed is either a punch or a V. Anything with a tapered end gets a guillotine. This summer though I've been using a V 95% of the time.

    Flor de Las Antillas Maduro. Pretty tasty, I think I enjoy the regular ones more though.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

    Solani Aged Burley Flake in a Comoy Sunrise squat bulldog. I finally get it. Finally found the right combo of pipe/packing/cadence. It's like a bowl full of spicy Nutella. Like MacBarren Burley flake on steroids, and on my empty stomach it got a bit of a nic punch too!

    Show Off your ATF here, Minus the A [guns]

    Lots being sold on gunbroker, but you're going to pay stupid prices no matter where you find it.

    Show Off your ATF here, Minus the A [guns]

    I have a serious jones for a stainless Marlin 1895 .357, the only thing stopping me is that I can't get ammo anymore. I hate panic buyers.

    Online Cigars

    Has anyone ordered cigars from Esterval's? They seem to have a decent selection of Cubans.

    Yup, it's a sun-grown. Terrible wavy burn and the one pictured did nothing but tunnel, the wrapper just refused to burn. What a shame.

    Isaias

    Just north of Philly and it's starting to pick up. Heavy rain and the wind is blowing pretty good now. Just heard they confirmed a tornado in south Jersey.

    Fuente Queen B. I hate to say it, since I really like Fuente in general, but I've had several of these and they've all been awful. Hopefully I just got a bad batch. The burn has been consistently so bad that it ruins the flavor. Oh well, I'll buy a few more before I give up on them.

    Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Bon Chasseur. I forgot how good these are! Woody, earthy, brown sugar, and creamy coffee all the way down. Flawless burn.

    PSA Wash Your Hands When Cooking

    Did something similar a few years ago while making a big pot of chili. Sliced up a bunch of jalapenos and after that was slicing up an onion. Well, the onion was doing it's thing and I, unthinkingly, rubbed my eyes. Big mistake.

    Mi Querida Ancho Corto, which seems to be a robusto size. All I can say is MY GOD. You'd better like Nicaraguan powerhouses and you'd better eat a good meal before hand. This thing was next level. Deep, DARK, rich, dank, earth, black, concentrated, espresso, bakers chocolate, and a hint of...

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    Last night it was a corona-ish sized La Imperiosa. Great deep, rich, earthy, chocolate & coffee flavors and a perfect burn but DAMN, almost every Crowned Heads cigar I've ever smoked has been rolled so tight that it's barely smokable. The flavors have always been great, the burn has always been...

    UFOs, the Pentagon, and Tin Foil Hats

    ^^^ This. It's very, very difficult for us to grasp just how big the universe actually is. As far as we can understand the rules by which reality functions the ultimate speed limit is the speed at which light can travel; however no physical object, at least one with mass, can travel at the speed...

    Last night was a My Father Le Bijou Churchill. Lasted about an hour and a half! Perfect burn, delicious, rich, dark flavors the whole way. Was kind of a powerhouse towards the end.

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    Stared yesterday with an La Aroma De Cuba Rothschild. Solid smoke and I always get this unusual dark red cherry thing happening in the background, really enjoyable. Then last night I smoked a Tatuaje Skinny Mummy. Started out weird, just a blast of red pepper a vegetal taste, and a long bitter...

    No 4th of July Sales This Year?!

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Seems unusual. I had been looking forward to stocking up, but I guess that's not happening this year.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Grilled some fresh zucchini from the garden along with a Dorado filet, everyone else seems to call it Mahi, anyway, got to love summer grilling! Now I'm smoking some G&H Rum Flake in a MM Country Gent. It's really shocking how well the G&H flakes I have are aging. This stuff is fantastic.
