No picture...damn, but an Ashton (classic) corona, sitting on the deck in the sun. Clearly I need to bring my phone with me
You have a bit of time before you get down that that band, if you choose to remove it.
I‘m right now finishing a Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs in a pipe.
Enjoying both this beautiful day and a Crowned Head #4 Maduro. Ya'll enjoy a wonderful Labor Day.
Tatuajue Tattoo good smoke, hot porch, no good, ruins the smoke, come on fall.
Fall ? It was 99 yesterday and again today, then on Tuesday we're supposed to get 3-6" of snow here in Denver.
Continuing yesterdays experiment with lanceros, I am smoking a My Father La Promesa. Again, very nice flavor, but not any stronger than a toro or Churchill. Some Even Williams Bonded on the rocks is the drink.
whoops, meant to say it was a Diamond Crown, not a Crowned Head.
It's been way too hot to smoke here in LA, and we woke up with a layer of ash on everything, but I'm a stubborn bastard, so a Melanio while the mountains burn near me.
Me too!
A beautiful lazy day! Enjoying a cigar in the backyard. Smoking an Oliva Serie V Melanio in a 6 x 60 size.

Don't know where the long weekend went so quick....but will go down fighting!
Finally got to smoke a cigar. Undercrown toro. I still like the corona viva better, but this was pretty good too.
I was a believer in the idea that thinner smokes were stronger than thicker ones, everything else being equal. I've been smoking a lot of lanceros lately and I'm no longer sure how true it is. You definitely get more wrapper influence, so if that's where the strength of a blend lies, it likely is stronger. But if the wrapper is not particularly strong or spicy and the binders and fillers are (as I suspect is the case with some Nicaraguan cigars with Ecuador wrappers), you will probably get a fuller strength experience in a medium (44-52) ring gauge. I think once you get thicker than 54 or so, you're bringing in more air with the smoke which counteracts any strength gains from additional filler tobaccos. Also, lanceros take a long ass time to smoke, and maybe the cumulative experience adds up to an ass kicking like this LFD Double Ligero lancero I'm smoking now tends to do. My own 2 cents, anyway.Fall ? It was 99 yesterday and again today, then on Tuesday we're supposed to get 3-6" of snow here in Denver.

Well it's my understanding that ligero are the uppermost, strongest leaves on the plant, so a double ligero would be a natural ass kicker. Today I had a CAO Flathead 642 lancero and again it didn't seem any stronger. I also didn't think it was that great a smoke.
H. Upmann AJF. Perfectly pleasant little cigar. I can't get over just how perfect the wrappers look on these. My crappy phone camera can't do it justice. None of the splotchy or mottled appearance on a lot of Sumatra-seed wrappers.
