Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken primavera and sugar snap peas dinner with the rest of the strawberry ice cream for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Nice! I have some 2010 Rolando's Own. Haven't had any in a while, but always liked this blend. Unique Vaper. Thanks for the reminder! ;)

Sooooo, Rolando's Own in the Ascorti Business KS. Cheers...

I love these things! Did you find a recent source or is it an oldie? I think i have a few left from years ago, but smoke them slowly not thinking they'd be around anymore. 411? :P
It has been sitting in a forgotten humidor for an unknown amount of time. Don't remember when or where I got it. It was a pretty good cigar. I believe I only have one or two more.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have about a third of a bowl left of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. I got John Brandt to make this for me. It’s not on the menu, but he’ll make you a batch if you ask.
