Puffing on my new pipe, very different from cigars but I love it! Most importantly it has a filter.

Good day gents. My wife made me this little cigar smoking temple on the patio👍🏻. Pretty cool of her.
I don't know why but my golf buddies are always giving me these acid cigars and I keep telling them I don't care for flavored cigars. Got to smoke em...afraid to put the in the humi with the others.


Had this pork shoulder on the smoker since midnight.

I now have quite the collection of cedar wood strips. Do you guys use these for lighting the cigar?

No, I've seen guys do it. I use a Xicar lighter....my DuPont is somewhere on the TPC Stadium course in Palm Springs...a tragic incident 😟

Happy Easter 🙏🏻. Enjoying a Xicar Havana Collection after a good work out and church. Coupled with Ruta Maya Jiguani coffee. If you have not tried it do yourself a favor and pick some up. Costco.com sells it. Tried a lot of beans over the years and this is my favorite at any price. Dark and full bodied but low acidic and mellow. Great price too.
Same can be said for the cigar. Inexpensive on the auctions sites and very well made. The corojo wrapper is the best IMHO.

Going to Ybor City this week. Anyone have any experiences or advice? I haven't been there in several years but enjoyed great cigar festival last time. I want to sample some handmades.

AJ Fernandez New World. Suggested by a friend. Good boxed pressed smoke. Excellent construction, great draw and burn. Chocolate tones and earthy...really good ash too.

CAO Cameroon. I use to love these but too mild for my taste now.

Congrats on the Manning. Those are cherished humidors. Nice choice of sticks too. Love to see a pic of the humidor top.

Just a solid red.

the best made humidors I have ever seen, Elie bleu may be prettier but craftsmanship nod goes to the Manning. I don't know if they are still in production, maybe so in Europe but nothing in the states that I could find. .

Beautiful humidor, Gus! The only issue for me is size, will that hold over 1500 cigars? Haha!

Good evening gents.
Punch Bare Knuckle. A powerful little smoke. Excellent cigar and a great value from an old school cigar maker. Very consistent draw and burn.

A Fonseca 8-9-8. If you like a flavorful mild cigar, try this one.

That is a big misconception. Cuban tobacco on average is milder and more subtle that Nicaraguan. I have some Cubans that are very mild and go well with coffee in the morning.
