Arturo Fuentes Rothchild Maduro, nice smoke, on old porch, beautiful weather, nice light Northerly wind.
After a Partagas Linea Serie D N. 6.
First half like heaven, second half frustrating - too wet from exhales. May be puffing too often.

Foundation Cigar Highclere Castle Victorian. It was 30% off at my local shop, but I still threw up in my mouth a little bit at the thought of where some of my purchase price goes. Hopefully AJ Fernandez gets more of it than little lord fontylroy, the failson does ?
I have found that if a cigar becomes bitter or unpleasant due to a build up of tars and moisture, it can be helpful to attempt to purge the cigar. Instead of puffing and drawing smoke into your mouth, blow as firmly outward towards the foot. That will usually improve the flavor, at least for a few puffs. You can repeat as necessary.
This was a bigger problem for me until I found my ideal smoking cadence, which is to puff every 60 seconds or so. It still happens sometimes, though, depending on the cigar.
Lovely Sunday afternoon smoke on the patio.... 2012 Maduro by Oscar Valladeres. So far enjoying this cigar quite a bit. 
Finishing up a Cimarron Connecticut robusto. Not a bad smoke. More flavor than a typical Connecticut. Burn was a bit uneven, but it was very breezy, so the jury is out on that count.
Ashton Aged Maduro while walking the dog. Moon is insane bright tonight.
2010 Behike 54. Wow.......sooooo gooda!
Did you start the fire with a hundo?
Celebrating my 23rd Anniversary. ?
It was me taking an unnecessary and probably rule-breaking (but satisfying) dig at the Downtown Abbey guy and the peerage system in general. I realized after I posted it that people not familiar with the cigar might think I was going after Nicholas Melillo, owner of Foundation Cigar Co., but I have no beef with him. His company makes some very good cigars.
Montecristo Especiales No. 2. So far, so (very) good!
