What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

[mso489]

in keeping with my 2022 ritual of smoking one small "dog walker" sampler cigar the first of each month, yesterday, Nov. 1, I smoked a H. Upmann Reserve, medium strong with a hint of sweetness in the background, a little hard on the draw at first, and losing flavor in the last quarter, but enjoyable otherwise. It was also a celebration of my wife and I completing early voting in our state of N.C. where all of the volunteers were convivial, the day was sunny, and it was an enjoyable experience, with my wife voting curbside, for her mobility issues, and me voting inside with almost no line. The cigar sampler is from Iwan Ries, with one more of the dozen cigars left, for December.

I locked the old thread, let's continue here. This is the first cigar I smoked this year after a 2 month break.

I smoke several, mostly Drew Estate, in various sizes. I match the size to how much time I have.

Drew Factory Robusto, grey day, helped wife use a cordless mini chain saw to trim her Crepe Myrtles, I like them untrimbed but wife likes them trimmed, good smoke for not a lot of money.

Having a Baccarat Kings Presidente, 8.5" x 52. I'm not crazy about the sweetened end, but, it’s a pleasant enough smoke, not as full or rich as is my preference.



It’s a beautiful night out, so, we’re on the porch.

Still having the same cigar. It’s starting to get a little chilly. Wasabi is bundled up like Nanook. We’ll probably head in when I’m done and I’ll switch to a pipe.

While I was refilling my lighter inside, Susan heard two ravens flying by, making a call we’d never heard before, sort of a rattling sound, followed by a series of blips. I wish I had heard it, too. She found the call on the Audubon app, and she played it for me. Having an Oliva Serie O Churchill, 7" x 50.
