Alec Bradley Black Market Vandal Toro. 5th time’s the charm, I guess. Had to snip quite a bit off and smoke it like I’m sucking water through a garden hose to put out a house fire… but the flavor and smoke output are finally there. Tasty cigar, when it works.

Have you tried a PerfecDraw? I found it was a great investment. If it saves two tight cigars, it pays for itself!

This tiny dragonfly has been landing on my fingers and hand the last few minutes!

It’s a hover fly. Those guys are pretty awesome!

No, I haven’t! I’m sure it would change my world. So thanks for reminding me, I’m going to buy one right now

Black Star Line War Witch 6”x46 box pressed Corona. Really tasty stuff, and probably the coolest brand/cigar name combination. Love it.

Thank you. We figured out it wasn’t a dragonfly yesterday—the hovering is what threw us off.

That's a bummer they've been so tight. I've really enjoyed that line. A real steak dinner of a cigar...

Now smoking an Avión Tuxtla with some coffee from the same area as the cigar wrapper, Veracruz, Mexico.

The Black Market is a firm favorite of mine. I’m glad I didn’t write the vandal off completely, it’s delicious and a hefty smoke. You have it right with the steak dinner comparison. I almost always wish a cigar was bolder and stronger, but I was seriously buzzing and more than satisfied by the halfway point, which is extremely rare.

Punch 48 with coffee to kickoff the weekend. Man these were good, my favorite Punch. Pretty sure these were $160ish for a box of 10 at one time.
