Walking my dog. Enjoying a Alex custom from May 2017. Very tasty 
Just had a nice evening walk with a Southern Draw Manzanita. First time with this one. Was decent, but not outstanding.
I agree
I’ve had a few of them. They get the job done. Favorite Southern Draw has to be Rose of Sharon with the Jacob’s Ladder coming in a close second.
Hot Cake half Corona after work. The more these rest the better they get
* 4 months is all we're talking here
I've not had great luck across the board. Some have been great. That Gourmet Petite Corona was one of the best smokes I've ever had
25th Short Robusto
Frustrating burn, eh flavors, weird smoke production.
I put this 4.5 X 52 down at the 2 hour mark, right at the edge of nicotine sick
Here's something I think I'm learning, lemme know what you guys think-
All else equal (and it never is but let's assume), something like a 52rg wants/needs to be smoked differently than, say, a 40rg. You can adapt, to a point, some surely better than others, but at the end of the day a given smoker will have a preferred pace or cadence that either lines up with what a particular cigar needs or it doesn't

Real glad to hear that. To be honest I've been a bit apprehensive, as I've talked this brand up and I know a few here have laid out some $ on them.

I think that assumption is correct.
Corona sized Fuente Casa Cuba, with about 2 years on it. Happy Friday!
I am happy I tried this. I will keep a few around.
Thanks @Speak Easy and @cshubhra
Migdalia Petite
Not enough time for an R44 this afternoon. Maybe tomorrow will be Fuente Saturday for me

First smoke of this long weekend. And the Drybox filled…
I was going to knock off work a little early and enjoy a nice long cigar on the deck. That didn't work out, but I still have time for a nice Fuente Brevas Royale Natural, listening to the owls and coyotes, and watching the stars come out.
Two years ago this weekend, I bought my first 2 cigars: an RyJ Reserva Real, because it was on many lists of good cigars for beginners, and an Arturo Fuente Curly Head Natural, because that was the only AF they had. I smoked the RyJ first, and it tasted like a lot of nothingness. A few weeks later I smoked the Curly Head, and wished that I'd started with it first: it was what I'd been hoping for in a cigar. Since then, I've smoked numerous other Gran Reservas: they've been satisfying almost every time.

Yeah, I had a feeling a question like this would pop up sooner or later. I've got a soft spot for watches, whether they're serious pieces or just for fun.
The MoonSwatch is a cool piece, no doubt. It's a fun take on a classic, a "Moon" simulacrum you can wear when you're knocking about or just want something playful on your wrist. It definitely looks sweet, and they nailed the Speedmaster vibe. Let's be real, who's wearing a genuine Speedy to the playground? But to show off for the kids with the Speedy one? Now that would be fun.
