I see you ordered from WCC. I hope you grabbed some Old Dominion. It’s the best….in my humble opinion.
Yes ? Espinosa makes some exceptional cigars. The Blue Label Maduro and the Green Label Oscuro are excellent. I also have smoked a lot of Espinosa Habano which tastes good but I may have got a bad batch, since almost all of them had construction issues.
1995 McClelland CC in a Jack Howell.
2011 Christmas Cheer in a Willmer AAA brandy shape.
Actually, FurCoat generously gifted me a bunch of samples. I think Old Dominion may be in there.
Taking a break from the Lakelands after about 10 straight bowls and smoking a couple bowls of Haunted Bookshop. Same meer for the last dozen.
I usually have some Habanos and Laranjas on hand, really solid cigars. Habanos are a little milder than what I usually smoke, but it's really a nicely blended, complex cigar. Never had an issue construction wise, that really stinks! Don't give up on them. Lol. If you like Cameroon, try his War Zone in a smaller format. Great smoke
Enjoyed a very tasty cinnamon raisin French toast and sliced orange lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I’m getting an education; it’s helping me decipher what it is in different blends that I really like. And it’s fun to experience the flavors of each tobacco.
Last smoke of the day with a bowl of Revor Plug in a Peterson Rosslare Classic while tying up some carp fishing rigs.
Some say there’s no Latakia, others swear there is. I’m leaning yeah on this one. Also, I’ve loss my taste for Latakia too. However, this is still one fine blend this Revor Plug. I’ll hopefully never be without ya. ?

️On to some C&D Cube Cut Burley in this year 2008 Boswell, pocket pipe. Great smoking pipe. Nice size bowl for sampling baccy.
2021 cringle flake in a Peterson Dracula
C&D Elderly Joseph (Old Joe Krantz, that is) in a Gianni smooth bent billiard, a pipe produced by some of the Radice people, maybe a sub-brand. My sister bought it in Holland for me. Just ventured out in my lug soled boots, in the leaves alongside my ice glazed driveway, with a pruning hook in hand, to "harpoon" the Sunday newspaper out of the icy gutter. All the pavement and walks are sheet ice, and my driveway is a slope. It felt like a seven-minute Everest expedition. I'm not sure if I'll repeat the procedure for the Monday edition, but I will likely try. Take care on that ice out there.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Larry's Sweet Espresso #17 is my drink. Zooming with a few fellow pipers.
