As much as I want/ would love to have a cigar, I have not had time! I hope that will all change tomorrow and head to CI for a little relaxation. Trust me, I need it! I'm about as wound up as a string caught in a lawn mower!

Same here Pete, I'd really like to have one but it looks like Wednesday is the first good opportunity.

Lee, I'm not that far out, but DAMN! WEDNESDAY?!! You may want to try that Diesel...then again, you may want to ease up to it.

Smoking my last Por Larranaga Cabinet seleccion #4, good thing i ordered 2 more boxes! These are a great morning smoke, nice floral aroma, slow burn, lots of thick smoke but not overpowering. With a sweet caramel/coffee flavor in the last inch or so. I will be sad when they are all gone.

I'll be going to CI tonight. Not sure what I'll be smoking, but I am looking forward to it. I might take along the Viaje Stuffed Turkey I have, or a Man O War.

I had an enjoyable, relaxing evening last night. I ended up taking the Viaje Stuffed Turkey and an old blend Camacho Connecticut gordo. I started out with the Viaje and a fresh palate. It was medium-full bodied with a few different flavors going on. At one point, I said to the guys that I was getting a burnt toast flavor. It then transitioned to cocoa and stayed there for the rest of the stick. The burn was a little uneven and required a few touch ups, but never went out. If this is still available, I am not sure if I would get another only because it didn't WOW me. Definitely worth a try though for anyone that did not have one.

The Camacho was great too for being a large cigar. I have had this before and enjoyed it then too. They had a doughy flavor and smooth smoke.

I then picked up 2 CLE Cuarenta corona gorda that I will age here at home for at least two months. I grabbed a La Historia El Senador that I have not had before and was ranked #2 this year. Lastly, I grabbed a Blend Lab WA-6552. They had them on sale for $3 each and is a great smoke.

Cherokee, Call the CI in Hamburg and ask for John, though I don't know his last name or his work schedule. Ask for what you were looking for a week or two ago. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Smoked a AF rothschild and a CAO Flathead camshaft yesterday. Both were decent, but there was no WOW to either of them. I really like the CAO in the spark plug size, and I've had the camshaft before, but it disappointed this time.

Oh no, don't say that! I bought a Camshaft a few weeks ago because I wanted a longer smoke than the Spark Plug. I hope it isn't a dud, but that Spark Plug is a damn fine cigar.

Petr, I don't remember the other camshaft that I smoked being ho-hum, so you're probably gtg. It also might have been that I was in and out of a garage with a kerosene heater going to get it tolerable temp and outside was 6*..

I had a Camshaft before and that is what turned me on to the Flathead series. I tried one of the larger sizes too, but that was not as good as the Camshaft at the time.

Just took a walk with a Liga #9. It's been in the humidor snice just before Christmas. Not as good as the last few I've had... might because of the age, I don't know. Still a huge cigar, imo. Bold and peppery with a great, even burn and an ash that hangs in there for well over an inch even when I'm walking in the wind.

I have heard the Drew Estates don't age well. Gotta smoke my fresh ones soon!

Puffing on a perdomo lot 23 Connecticut, nice spicy flavor, I haven't had one in awhile and this is one from the first box of cigars I ever purchased. June of last year I buried 5 of these in the humidor and they have aged fantastic. Just hitting the last 3rd which has a nice black pepper and floral mix of flavors.

Las Calaveras from crowned Heads via my father factory. These are really good forgot how much I liked these.

We smoked a RyJ Media Noche robusto, and a PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Madura yesterday.

The RyJ was very interesting pre-light. It had a very predominant molasses flavor that reminded me of loose leaf tobacco (Levi Garret specifically). The draw and construction were very good. Once lit, the molasses taste muted a bit but continued throughout the rest of the cigar.

The PDR was an interesting smoke. We smoked the torpedo and the pre-light draw was very good. I like PDR's for a simple smoke that will have a consistent draw and construction. This PDR didn't disappoint in that way. The problem with PDRs is that they all seem to have a similar flavor profile. It had a subtle licorice and cedar note that lingered on the finish through the entire cigar. A toasted bread and nut note picked up about 1/3 of the way in. Those flavors disappeared and were replaced by an earthiness that continued to the end.

It's snowing once again and wanted to have a cigar. I grabbed a Man O War Side Project Skull Crusher. What a fantastic cigar!! The aftertaste is even better. It's still snowing and is expected to into the night, 3"-6" is expected so I may be able to enjoy something else later on.

Just had a montecristo sandwich for lunch(damn that was good!) I should be in a food coma right now. Smoking a perdomo edicion de silvio, might take a nap after.

Well, two hours of snow cleanup today constituted a My Father Special white label. I really wish they would still have the pepper that they once had. After the initial cleanup, the temperature rose above freezing and melted/loosened up quite a bit of ice. So, this afternoon, I grabbed a My Father No.1 rubusto and went to work. Oh, what a joy today was. Me, a cigar, the tractor, and a shovel. Who could ask for anything more. Looks like we may get a shot of snow-ice-rain-snow this week. Forecasters are saying 4"-8" Wednesday into Thursday. I guess I better fill the gas can...and the butane lighter!!

Petr you are the only one enjoying this winter weather. I am over this cold BS.

I can't wait till I can smoke a 52-6 1/2" and not have my balls frozen to the chair.

Yes, I do love snow! As I said before, you need the right tools to handle the snow. If it's gonna be cold, there better be snow! Plus, if I'm working outside I'm usually sweating anyway from being dressed warm enough and I can enjoy the cigar. I do not go outside to freeze my balls off just for a cigar.

Forget that snow/cold nonsense. I can't wait until summer. It doesn't snow down here but it gets colder than I would like.

Puffing on a UF-13, last 2 of the first box I purchased. Still a great smoke after almost 2 months. How long do you guys think it takes for them start tasting bad?
