And you lived to tell the tale! Those belicosos are very, very strong when young. Only Opus stronger is the tiny #5.

Had to work some overtime, got caught up, so now it's downtime Funtime. I don't know what to expect from this behemoth LFD 25th. It smells like it could be an asskicker. Let's find out.
Having half of a Toscano Master Aged Series 1, 3.15" x 40 on the porch in Rhode Island.
Coffin Nail for me this evening. 
2016 JSK Red Knight Robusto. Flavor bomb…
Having a Toscano Modigliani, 6.25" x 36 in Rhode Island.
Earlier we had some Veuve Clicquot champagne. Our friend Paul made a toast for Mother’s Day and Susan’s and my engagement.

Ya know, it's strange... I smoke some strong ones with no ill effect whatsoever (N.A.S., Chiselito, etc). But just the other week a Padron #35 had me absolutely wrecked

I’m having a Divine Fortune Yahweh or No Way closed foot toro pig for Monday morning. 
Having an Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur I, English Claro Presidente, 7.2" x 54, and catching up with UFC 315, Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena that took place in Montreal, Canada, which I wasn’t able to watch in real time because we were visiting friends in Rhode Island. My BST LC pipe got me through the first five hours of fights. It’s 72⁰ outside, so we’re enjoying it on the porch. This cigar should get me through the rest of the main card and the post show.
I don't smoke a lot of this brand, but the SERIE R BLACK MADURO NO 56 from La Gloria Cubana has been treating me great! It's a big black Maduro, 7 x 56, and it's delicious! I like big flavors and strong-ish cigars and this one does not disappoint.
Two cigar day: Earlier I smoked a Bellas Artes and now smoking an Oliva Serie V in the diadema Vitola
CAO Brazilia at the bus stop in front of our hotel in Asheville, NC.

Coffin Nail and a splash of Jameson’s. 
Another two cigar day: Now smoking Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut, while earlier I smoked an Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro.
Casdagli Cabinetta Maduro, waiting on the fireflies and whippoorwills.
Well we've had some beautiful and unseasonably warm weather here, with multiple days nearly 90°, no humidity. Unfortunately I let my main humidor get into the high 70's a few times last week, and last night I noticed a beetle (larva, as I now understand) riddled stick. I'm sure this happened in a day or 2 tops. I took it out and thoroughly inspected every other stick.
The damage: 3 Last Call Maduros- one pretty riddled, the other 2 with singular holes in the cellos and wrapper. I dissected 2 of these and could not find any visible larvae or eggs, though I understand they are pretty small
I hope and pray that is the end of it. A/C running now
This could have been a lot worse
Anyway, some smokes from the past few days:
'23 Marranitos
Casdagli Rosetta
Good ole Exquisito
LFD L-200 Cabinet

Oliva Serie V Melanio yesterday while finishing up the lighthouse garden ornament i made and originally installed for my mom Sunday. These are always good, phone pics, not so much. 
Aging Room Nicaragua this evening.
