The Half Ashed Cigar Lounge - and sticks with protection.
Yes, keep your infused and flavored cigars in their own humidor. Just as the cigars were infused, your other cigars will take on an infusion of their own from the cigars.

Though I have not had that particular stick, I have had and enjoyed an Arganese Breakfast Blend, and a CI Legends Copper band. They were both great sticks to pair with coffee. The only downfall is that I am not able to smoke enough times in the mornings to justify another humidor for the cigars. I try to limit myself to coffee in the morning only so I am not too amped up later at night.

I didn't smoke anything yesterday. Between working until 3, then a showing of our house at 6 and the cold weather, I stayed warm inside.

I'd love to order up a box of Montecristo Double Coronas to refill my humidor, but I can't justify spending $250. I guess Captain Ramsey was right..."They're more expensive than drugs".

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

What a busy day of running around today. Though I did find some time to smoke a small La Gloria Cubana Serie N around lunch time today while fixing a flat tire on our car. I am now relaxing with a La Gloria Cubana Serie R lancero. I have my winter coat on though as the temperature is a cool 55*. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and wasn't as busy as we were this weekend!

I just lit up a Gurkha Ancient Warrior and already the cap is unraveling. It doesn't taste bad, but I've only just begun!

Got a Gurkha Black Dragon burning now. It was part of a CI sampler I picked up a few weeks ago. Not bad at all. Its needed a few touch ups but the construction and flavor are good. Lots of molasses, wood and black pepper so far. Pleasantly surprised since I'm generally not a fan of the brand.

Tonight I had a Fuente with a green striping around the bottom of the band - man oh man did I enjoy this stick, not I just need to figure out what it was so I can get more!

Ronin, you are welcome. The only thing I am unsure of is if the band color carries through all of the cigars listed.

I only have 2 "in's" for the punch cutter. Last call, as it will go off tonight!

I'm sitting out this evening after having sausage in the cast iron and peirogies as a side. I lit up a La Gloria Cubana churchill natural that had some plume and lots of crystals on the wrapper. Tastes mighty fine as I puff away!

Pete what did you think of the La mission?

Ronin
I had to laugh bartering for sticks.

Gator -

I know - but what I am going to do with $50, buy more cigars? May as well see if I can get something interesting out of the bit.

La Mission was different. I was getting some meaty flavors out of it, a bit of smokey wood and slight pepper. It kind of reminded me a little bit of the Kentucky Fire Cured from Drew Estates only not as smokey flavored. It was a decent cigar in construction and burn. I didn't have to touch it up at all and produced lots of smoke.

Would you consider it infused (like the KFC)?

This La Gloria Cubana is a fantastic smoke! Pepper, cocoa, coffee, a razor sharp burn through the entire thing. I'm on the last third and the pepper ramped up a bit.

No, not infused. I think there is some pipe tobacco that is rolled into it to give it the flavor. More like the Spectre. I think that's the other one with the pipe tobacco.

Maybe not pipe tobacco, but fire cured tobacco giving the smokey flavors.

The kfc uses latakia pipe tobacco and fire cured, or smoked cigar tobacco. Kind of an acquired taste. I tried a few and it tasted too "infused" for me.


There will be whores, tits and sex.
