We've had a good run, going through probably 45 of these over the past year.
4 X 46, I've come to really like cigars in this size range.
I went pretty deep due to Smokingpipes having them on sale plus another 20% brought them down to $3 and change. I wouldn't hesitate to make that buy again
But for now, this is my last one. Onward
To Fuente Friday...

8-5-8 Sungrown to start the day. 
Liga Privada T52 coronet
Reached a project milestone at work, but I’m not stupid enough to celebrate with a full size cigar on Valentine’s Day.

Earlier I smoked Trinidad Espiritu Series No 3
Friday Fuente 8-5-8 Natural. Been a while since I smoked one of these.
8-5-8 Maduro to start Saturday morning. 
Today's cigar lounge "admission fee", before I start polluting the air with pipe smoke. This silly lookin' thing. Which is supposedly a Davidus exclusive.
Now, this is my second Rocky Patel and I've quite liked them both. Maybe it's just a diabolical subconscious influence from watching old Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons on VHS when I was a lad. Or maybe I've found "my brand".

Oliva V with a daiquiri after doing a bit of truck repair.
I need to start buying more small cigars. I've been back on the cigarettes (RYO) largely because of time and budget constraints, but I can already feel the damage to my lungs. There are so many wonderful little cigars and petit coronas, like the Oliva you're smoking, the LFD Carajos, Illusione 68s, Rafael Gonzalez Perlas, Liga Papas Fritas (they have an H99 version now!), etc. The Cubans really excel with small cigars, but they don't help with the price issues.
What did you think of it? I had it in the lancero size and I aside from my natural dislike of box-pressed skinnies, I just thought the wrapper was especially dominant in the flavor, and it wasn't for me. I liked the Espiritu No. 1 a lot more, so I'm wondering if I should give the No. 3 another try in a thicker format.
I liked it, but nothing special. Of all the three I like #2 most, then #1 and finally #3
Having said that, I would be happy to smoke more

There sure are some good littles out there!
Cigs are tough, I know it- smoked 'em for 25 years...
Today, met my buddy who quit cigs but still uses other nicotine products. He's been stopping by when he can on Saturday mornings, and is showing some interest in cigars. His only request- strong.
So today I fed us LFD Double Ligero Maduro 452s
Quite possibly the longest burning 4" cigar out there??
Later, smoked my last mini G on the way to WI
And my last Carillo Stella on the way home
Don Carlos No.4 to start Sunday.
