Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve this evening. 
Hanging out with some neighbours. Having an Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur I, English Claro Presidente, 7.2" x 54 on the porch.
La Imperiosa from Crowned Heads
About 3X bigger than my usual smokes. My buddy warned me that this had been knocking around in his briefcase for about 6 months... but you know what? It smoked great. Go figure
Later, another Xhaxhi Bobi Gray. The label kinda looks like a sunset dontcha think?

Enjoyed this one… draw was a bit tight but big picture, one of the best!
Nice little Trinidad… also very enjoyable!
Typically not an Avo guy, but this one was fantastic! Glad I was able to grab a few more
Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut
Having a box pressed Famous Smoke Shop Nicaraguan Selection 3000 Grande Robusto, 6.0" x 60 (made by Oliva) and taking Wasabi for a walk.
We had a nice walk. It’s 70⁰ F out and partly cloudy; the sun peeks out occasionally. Having an Asylum 13 Medulla 652 Toro, 6.0" x 52 on the porch. Susan is playing Wingspan, which I still need to learn so we can play against our friends, Paul and Juliet, in Rhode Island. The walk made Wasabi sleepy.
This evening I’m burning a BLTC Royalty which has been in the humidor since March 2024.
Got several Plasencia Cosecha 149 "Santa Fe" 60 ring gage size in what is left of one of my "Tupperdors" (Actually Rubbermaid) that I am going to work my way through over the next several weeks to clear out some space. Definitely an after-dinner event even though they are not as powerful as the Alma Fuego, but I am enjoying one on my work lunch break today to help break the curse of jet lag on my first day back to work in a week.
A few from yesterday.

Started today with a PG 15th Anniversary No. 5
This afternoon I smoked an LFD Double Ligero 452. As I was lighting I dropped and it hit with a smack that sounded like a 10# fish hitting the pavement PerfectRepair glue saved it but it looked like Frankenstein's monster
Mi Querida 448 to close things out

Starting today with a '23 Carillo TAA
An interesting blend with Ecuadorian Connecticut wrap over Broadleaf binder, Nicaragua X Dominican filler.
Good but to my taste these were better last summer
