This is pretty good, and just about the perfect size for a lightweight like me.

Found this amusing story on Mark Twain. Source:
"Like other American smokers, Mr. Clemens is unceasing in his search for the really satisfactory cigar at a really satisfactory price, and, first and last, has gathered a good deal of experience in the pursuit. It is related that, having entertained a party of gentlemen one winter evening in Hartford, he gave to each, just before they left the house, one of a new sort of cigar that he was trying to believe was the object of his search. He made each guest light it before starting. The next morning he found all that he had given away lying on the snow beside the pathway across his lawn. Each smoker had been polite enough to smoke until he got out of the house, but every one, on gaining his liberty, had yielded to the instinct of self-preservation and tossed the cigar away, forgetting that it would be found there by daylight. The testimony of the next morning was overwhelming, and the verdict against the new brand was accepted."

I expect to find plenty of these in the yard the next morning…I’m slowly but surely working through them.Found this amusing story on Mark Twain. Source:

Have you had a chance to try the Bronzeback yet? Great stick!
Smoking a nice 1.5 yr aged Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask Robusto whilst browsing for yet more nice cigars on the iPad my wife just got me for Father’s Day. Instant game changer. 
Not yet, but based on your recommendation I will get some.
Having a Diesel Unlimited Maduro d.X Belicoso, 7.0" x 56 on the porch. It’s 77⁰ today, with a light breeze; all told, pretty pleasant and comfortable. The sky is clear.
Wasabi is calm (for now, until someone walking by violates the perimeter he imagines our property to be, which according to him, reaches across the street).
Susan is piercing leather with a pricking iron and rubber mallet, making another hand stitched leather pipe rest like the one she made for me last night while watching UFC.

*Correction: Susan was using a rawhide mallet.
Dapper La Madrina Robusto
After a few that were less than stellar, this one was great like I remember

Farher's day cigar with my son. 2002 Punch Ninfas
Tonight. I’m going to try the first of my Drew Estate “Factory Smokes”. Hopefully it’ll be good since I’ve got 50 of them now
This is turning out to be a somewhat run-of-the-mill smoke. I’ve had some HC’s that were wonderful, though.

United Pencils Natural, great Dominican flavor honestly now that they’ve dried out well enough. Just wish they were a 33 gauge instead of the 28 so I could get a bit bigger of a draw. Burns a perfect circle for the entire 6 inches at 40min! I think I prefer the Natural over the San Andres wrapper pencil, must try the Robusto now.
Earlier I smoked a “Knockaround” by La Barba
got a Macanudo Inspirado Orange from one of my dads poker buddies around christmas its been resting in my humidor since then. I Figured now was as good enough time to smoke it as any as i was in the mood for a cigar and it was the first one I grabbed.
