Saving the Padron for tomorrow, decided to go with The Tabernacle Havana seed. So far this is a damn fine cigar, may be better than the regular Tabernacle.

Excellent! Armagnac has been a favorite of mine for many years. Way bigger range of flavors than cognac because of the single distillation, and just plain more fiery. I think of it as the jet-fuel in my cabinet. You ever try it in a smaller-diameter-rimmed glass instead of a classic snifter? They say you get more nuance if your nose isn't blasted directly by the fumes.
Odob where you been, that cold weather got you down? Here in the South we are sissies for the cold. HaHa.
Frost on the roof bit all warm in our daybed by the pool with electric blanket, and my favorite La Aroma de Cuba robusto, hot coffee and Till Brinner, warming up nicely ?
I was told by some pinky-out fool that without buying expensive glasses specifically cast for Armagnac that a champagne flutes are ideal.
Now I just wish I could find a better Armagnac selection locally.
Yesterday was our 20th anniversary. I finished it walking down the beach of Corpus Christi with my wife, enjoying a Crowned Heads Juarez Shots XX.

Man oh man, Cajun, it does indeed!
Hard as hell, especially if you live in a state with a liquor control board, like here in Vermont, or Montana, or Virginia... (all places I've lived). But some stores can order you a decent VSOP for half the price of a good bottle of Scotch. St. Vivant isn't bad, for one. But yeah, all those smaller house Armagnacs that I wish I could try -- you only ever find them in the big city. Or Gascony.
Yes, I definitely agree on comparison between cognac and armagnac. At least this particular bottling has a broader scale of flavors than most of V.S.O.P cognacs I’ve tried, but still being fairly smooth and delicate drink. I tried it in Glencairn-glass and there certainly was a difference, thanks for the advice!
Old man(me)playing with fire and smoking a Torano Exodus 1959,very nice little smoke.?
AJF Bellas Artes. Just a very tasty blend in my opinion, and well-built. Wish it came in a slightly smaller vitola.
Crowned Heads Juarez and Warriors- Bull. The Juarez is supposed to be a cheaper version of the Jericho Hill line. It's been a few years since I had the original, but based on what I remember, I like this one better.
Montecristo Platinum watching two Sandhill Cranes pat a visit.
I am enjoying a Rocky Patel Sun Grown Toro. A really fine smoke!
La Gloria Cubana Serie R, watching the day come alive.
