Ordered 10 Nat Sherman PanAmerican Rubusto, can’t wait.
Took a flyer on a bundle of Oliva Seconds Lanceros from JR. With my birthday discount it was only about 30 bucks for the bundle of 20. These have the Habano wrapper. The only Lanceros that matched that is in the Cain F line. I can’t see anything wrong with the first one I am smoking. It has the typical profile of that wrapper with Nicaraguan fillers. Leathery, slight coffee, and a mild spice. Quite the bargain. 
Do I see a 601 Blue there? Fantastic smoke after a weekend lunch. To me it carries a huge Nicotine punch and often puts me to sleep!
Had a bowl of GH&Co Dark Plug this morning which has enough Indian leaf to give it that cigar taste, did nothing for me but make me want a cigar so... Now I'm organizing my cellar (new Flying Pig sticks and Gawith flakes and ropes to put away) while starting on this Oliva V Melanio Maduro
La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'O No. 4. These were rolled by masters, perfect draw on a cuban ring gauge that says plug to me. I've not smoked a lot of these, one every year and I'm not seeing any aging benefit so far or it's so long between them I can't even recall the differences.
Smoked a Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ Maduro in the company of our herd boss, Prudence.
MyGrandfather had a Brama Bull that hated me, ran me out the pasture many times. Fortunately they sold him before I was old enough to draw a bead on him.
Smoking a 601 Blue Label Maduro Robusto, very nice.
Yikes. You can never turn your back on a bull. We've been pretty lucky, but we've had a few that weren't the best. When I showed up at the ER a few years ago thinking my foot was broken (it was just badly contused), I told the intake nurse that our bull had stepped on my foot, but she grew up on a dairy farm and she knew better. She looked at me and said, 'I bet you kicked him in the face. Were you wearing a rubber boot?'
Yes you got it. First one of these, I smoked it this morning, very nice.
Enjoyed a Toscano Classico with some black tea.
Dunhill Heritage Toro watching the rain pouring down, oh I do like the great British weather. ?
Smoked a Padron 3000 and 4000 today playing golf. Enjoyed them both immensely, almost the perfect cigar for the golf course. There was a pretty kewl Ranger guy I saw smoking a cigar and chatted with while waiting to hit on a Par 3. He was smoking some no name something or other, I gifted him an Olivia Serie V to smoke. Hope he enjoys it, nice fellow.
Padron 1926 Maduro. I get a sourdough bread thing off of these that I don't from the core line, and it reminds me strongly of a Partagas or some of the Bolivar line.
La Gloria Cubana typically age wonderfully for many, many years. I had some early '00 Medaille d'Oro no 3 that were insanely good. Probably had legs for another 10-20 years at least.
Enjoy! Have not seen those available for a couple years.
Just punched a Don Rafael by Victor Sinclair and am beginning a series on WW1.
