It seems like a nice hangout but it's a stretch for me since I live off of Racetrack/Hillsborough.
I enjoy Davidoff in the summer and go there to meet buddies. It's too damn hot to smoke on the back porch in the summer so going there is a nice treat. I was there twice last week. Obviously pricey but a great atmosphere and comfy seating. The bar talent is also pretty nice.
I go to Davidoff once or twice a week for the same reasons. We should meet up there sometime for a smoke

I’m an infrequent contributor to this thread, but I sure enjoy a good cigar. I looked back a few pages, and didn’t see anything, but I wonder if there’s an ongoing discussion connecting the disintegration of Nicaragua and the availability of some of my favorite cigars?

There is, or there may be. If your cigars are rolled and shipped out of estelli. The other areas are not having as much trouble. Halfwheel.com has a few articles and a quick google search will bring up results about several different factories. Trucks carrying shipments are having a hard time getting through without being searched, confiscated or hijacked. Some factories are shutting down short term while employees are protesting or being conscripted in a way. It's a mess in Nicaragua atm.
There will be whores, tits and sex.

I got a box of those about a year ago. They are great I've really enjoyed them.
I am enjoying a tatuaje from Miami. Today is the first day of a week at the beach. My android got a black screen then did a factory reset on its own. I restored with Wi-Fi but I have no cell service and my company email is no longer set up on my phone. After the initial shock I think I'm going to have a good week.
I have plenty of great smokes lined up for this week.

Wow, nice vacation sticks!
Finishing off a Drew Estate Ratzilla now. This is my third or fourth one and I am definitely a fan.

Oh, and enjoy the vacation GA Gator!
I am taking all of July off, but between traveling to visit friends and having them come into town I am just now settling in for some good quality smoke-stogie-when-I-want-to-time. And yes, that IS an actual thing. In my mind, at least!

Drew Estates cigars are sure in short supply—and have been for a few months. Arturo Fuente as well.

If you have Amazon Prime be sure to check out this new documentary, The Prince of Smoke, about the Robaina family in Cuba.
What a long day today was. Our youngest son is on our towns swim team. Our league consists of about 9 teams and today was the championship swim meet...hosted at our pool. We were there at 5 am and got done cleaning up and home at 2030. I am now enjoying a La Herencia Core at the moment. Our son did great! He didnt win any trophies or awards, but he finished every race he was entered in. He did his best and had fun. That is all that matters. I am extremely proud of him. But, I am whooped!

In Utah you have to get Sam Adams from the state liquor store, I don't go often. Saturday I was "lucky" to get the last 4 bottles of Summer Ale! Figured a Last Call was appropriate.

Question: do you guys ever get around to actually discussing cigars or is this pretty much just a gallery? Don't get me wrong I love cigar/drink porn as much as anyone but after the first two or three hundred pages they tend to overwhelm me. I would on occasion love to hear some specifics aka review of all these lovely smokes.

Some do, some don't. There is a bunch of info in here on good vendors to buy from, generous karma gifts from different members, proposed trades, and recommendations.
