Liga Papas Fritas earlier today which was a good size for a shortish smoke. Tonight I'm trying the 2024 Black Works Bishops blend. I am pretty sure I've a few from every year of this release hiding out in the humidor.
Nice to see some Black Label. How are you guys liking the brand and smokes?
We love it here. On the North shore of Lake Superior, about halfway to Canada.
Since you have all seen a Plascencia Nestico I hope you'll forgive another picture of trees, water, and rocks
I find the cigars in the brand to frequently give a similar full flavor profile. This cigar was no different, started out with coffee and about halfway through it gained a walnut/brownie component with a bit of sweetness. Still full throughout at least to my pallet. I found it a pleasant smoke.
La Madrina from Dapper that I've been saving since '22
Damn near forgot to snap a photo of this one. It was a terrific smoke, but this wasn't your average stick. I'd slowly infused it over a few weeks with tequila, coffee liquer, and vanilla.
I began that same practice in 1993, and aside from having to build an addition on to the house, install climate control and hire security personnel, it’s worked out fairly well.I buy more than I can smoke, so the newer ones can rest while I smoke the older ones. That’s what I tell my wife, anyway
I've uncovered my stash today, or at least 3 - all Tubos No. 2, a couple of Romeo y Julieta and a Bolivar. They must be at least 6+ years old.
What has shocked me is the current prices - I remember buying similar Montecristo Tubos for £6-£7 each and now they're 4x as much. Wow. What happened?

Just finished an hour in the sun with an Undercrown Maduro on the tanning cot. Need to upkeep the melanin for protection on my next trip to Florida in a few days...i don't do the chem sunblock thing.
Gotta keep them lil brown imported buddies safe! And bonus, if you're generous and semi-social, you always have some personnel around to smoke with.
The days are flying by and I haven’t had a cigar in almost a week now, so tonight it’s an Oliva V robusto while I sit on the deck and listen to the animals getting ready for their night’s activities.
Pleasant aroma, but not much flavor at all so far in the first inch. I hope it improves: the last one had more flavor than this.

RoMa Quinquagenario tonight, good stuff.
DTT RML to start the day. Happy Friday all!
Friday at the end of a long week, I think I’ll indulge in a Sweet Jane
@BenMN is upping the game there... I need to find out if there's a smoking-friendly beach near me here on the south side of the narrow part of Lake Superior.
And feh. The answer is "no".

Was expecting this to be a banger yardstick but man it turned out to be so much more. Quite tasty, like straight up smooth Snickers bar the whole way through. Even my mouth had a Snickers flavor instead of cigar after. These might be the best kept secret at Crowned Heads right now.
