Having a Punch Signature Robusto, 5.0" x 54, courtesy of @PaulRVA (thank you, brother!) on the porch.
It’s 74⁰ out, but it’s very windy right now. The wind chimes are swinging and Wasabi is on the lookout for marauders and invaders.

It’s a good day for a Curly Head Natural Deluxe.

OK but too mild for me.

This is for @JOHN72, thankful that the recent rain/flood tragedy in Spain didn’t effect him, his family and friends.
Be well @JOHN72 and everyone, as no one knows what tomorrow may bring. May mercy, kindness and love reach us all!

Punch Clasico with a swig of bourbon. 
I haven't been keeping up with this thread well at all! Last night the wife and I tried the Liga Privada minis and they were fantastic.
The smoke before that (sometime last week) was an experiment of sorts. At the Vegas show, I heard Greg Pease just swearing by the lancero shape. He said that it takes considerable skill to roll and that it makes for the best flavor possible in a cigar. I'd never had a lancero so I asked him what he thought of the torpedo, my personal favorite.
He admitted that you also have to be very skilled to roll a torpedo but said he didn't smoke them much because the shape actually increases the level of nicotine intake. "The funnel serves as a filter and the narrowing shape makes the nicotine hit harder," he said. "It doesn't sound like it could be true, but it is. It's also why I don't like conical bowls in my pipes."
All that said... last weekend I picked up a couple of Olivas. One lancero and one that GLP might consider a loser. Sure enough, the lancero won out.

Taking a walk with my buddy, John, and having a box pressed Famous Smoke Shop Nicaraguan Selection 3000 Grande Robusto, 6.0" x 60 (made by Oliva).
First time trying Dunbarton's Sobremesa Solita.
I bought 3 of this short Churchill (4.75 X 48) at pipe club about 4 months ago.
They provide quite a bit of info on the constituent tobaccos Halfwheel review
So far, it's not seeming like a strong contender for my "punchy, tasty, little but not tiny" cigar spot. Had a nice, clear, and consistent Brazil nut note in the first third that I enjoyed
Been getting a lot of PM's (okay, none) about when my garage would be featured in this thread again, so feast your eyes
