Enjoying a Rosa Cuba and the day with my little buddy
Original blend Mi Amor on a gorgeous afternoon. This one is probably between 8 & 10 years old. I know I bought these when I commuting to Malvern PA and I would stop off at Holts on the way home, that was at least 8 years ago. It's held up beautifully, although some might find it boring. It's basically a mildly spicy Nutella the entire way down, no transitions just one consistent flavor. I don't remember what these were like fresh so I can't compare. Sadly this was my last one. I wish I had several boxes!
Reserva No. 5
We drove down to Faribault today. They have a woolen mill there that makes great blankets etc.

Just lit another of the New Cuba Robustos. So far this one seems to be behaving okay.
About to split this Modigliani in half and see what it’s about. 
Joya Antaño CT Corona
Snug draw, 5 months at 62rh, beautiful burn, nice flavors
Seems well- matched to this late September day that hit high 80°s

Oliva Serie V Maduro No. 4 after dinner this evening.
Earlier I smoked Rocky Patel Platinum Limited Edition Habano
Curious mug, you got anymore pictures? I assume you slide your hand in like a mitt to hold it?
Lol, yes! I don’t have anymore pics but it is curious indeed. I don’t pick it up as intended. My wife picked it up for me somewhere. It makes for a good coffee cup!

Another Toscano Modigliani this morning. Yesterday’s coffee pot leftovers on ice. Todays coffee in a Yeti that won’t be cool enough to drink for a couple hours
This is the second one of these I’ve smoked. I haven’t had many other cigars to compare it to but I definitely like the O series. pretty similar in flavor profile to the Montecristo platinum series that came in the same sampler as these. The Montecristo had more flavor overall though.
Earlier I smoked a Gurkha Black Dragon.
I smoked my first Gurkha cigar on recommendation of a B&M. At that time I had temporarily stopped pipe smoking and smoked a cigar very occasionally. It was good.
Since then Gurkha never failed to disappoint me so I stayed off them for a few years. I thought I would give them a fair chance again and got a sampler. Sadly I find them even more underwhelming and unacceptable.
However this one is reasonably good.
