Met up with my brother in OKC. Having a LFD Double Ligero Oscuro Lancero.

Loved that one.
How did you like it?
Just finished it! Really enjoyed it. Started opening up a little before the half way point and only got better from there.
I had this EE last night. Top of 2024 for me.
The one that started it all for me...My Father Flor de Las Antillas. 
Nice. I've been into LFD lately. Got some Double Ligero 452s resting for the summer, and another order brewing...
Davidoff Dominican Primero with my buddy tonight, after his kid's Christmas concert
He also gifted me a couple Carillo TAAs from last year ('23). Love these
AF Flor Fina 8-5-8 Sungrown for Fuente Friday. Have a good one, y’all!
Padron 1964 to celebrate my first year anniversary at the job, positive review, a meager raise, and best of all, the start of vacation until January
Hell yeah, strong start
Late (as usual) to Fuente Friday- Fired up an Opus X Pussycat
Decent, some sharpness at times. Nowhere near as rich or complex as other Xs I've had. 4 months in the box but I couldn't resist. Won't be touching another for at least 6 months but glad I tried one
Little over an hour...
Undercrown Maduro. First in a long time. Very enjoyable. 
CAO Amazon Basin with my buddy
These are from the '24 release, which was back in early January. He snapped up a box right away, and so they've been rested nearly a full year.
These smoked perfectly, with good flavors. Mellowing somewhat, relative to the ones we've smoked since last winter.
Couldn't recall price so I searched a bit- Peretti has singles for $10(?) I can highly recommended at that price. Worth a try. They have some rare and unique jungle tobacco in 'em, and you can tell it's there, but i might wish there was a bit more. But all in all a nice 2 hour Toro
* I smoked the "band" this time oh yeah

Thanks! It’s been a long year. I’m looking forward to some time off.
And you already know how good those 1964s are: this one didn’t disappoint. It was the shortest one I had, but still gave me 75 minutes.
I may have to order a few of these. I’ve yet to have an enjoyable CAO cigar, but these sounded interesting.
DTT GFY #L7 to start Saturday.
