Pic First today. And as I've tried to do lately, did my emoticon/commenting first. Here's the morning festivities.
Started off with the MM Minicob STC cherry routine, but this time with Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish, a much more full bodied smoke than my usual "cherry cordials." Excellent smoke and tobacco - think if I had to choose ONE cherry, this'd be it. Not yet tried a BR tobacco I haven't liked, and this and BR Dark are permanent staples in my rotation.
As a real surprise, though, and @hoosierpipeguy and @cshubhra our cigar champs in this thread, Gord is actually smoking a real cigar as he types! Yeah, guys, really!
It's a gift from buddy Stu, it's actually got a label, and I actually had to cut the end to smoke it, and traditionally left the label on as I puff away. It's a "Sweet Jane" by Sturgis, and up here costs $50 bucks. Am I enjoying it? Oh, Yeah, You Betcha! And it's going to last over twice as long as any of the flavoured Phillies and Kwikis I usually smoke at first post, and will continue to do so cause I like 'em and can afford them. But the SJ is a different world. Think of tailings mixed with parsley and lavender weed stuffed into a pipe compared with Sunday Picnic or Autumn Evening. And I'm going to sign off now and enjoy the rest of it. Back later.
Tried again and couldn't get rid of the repost so hopefully replaced it with this.

My first AF cigars were the Curly Head Natural Deluxe, and I loved them (still do). At first I thought the Hemingways were bland compared to the Curly Heads, but every Hemingway makes me doubt that more.
