You can’t smoke all of those tomorrow. I think you need some help.

Ha! Since you aren’t here though, I suppose I will simply have to do my best, in spite of the tremendous hardship. Wish me luck eh?

@malinoisvol, hey check by the smoke pit. Something for tomorrow.

Got'em! THANK YOU, SIR! Win or lose today, the Hoyo is getting smoked tonight!

Darn dog just had to get her nose in the picture. Lol

Starting out the game with a conny

 

[loggervol]

What are you guys having to help with today’s loss?
I’m having one of my go to’s, asylum 13 medulla. Here’s to winning out and maybe going to a playoff game.

 

[Gandalf]

Had a long drew connecticut and an aging room quatrro during the game so smoked out for today.

So at least the cigars today were good. The game? eh, not so much lol

 

[loggervol]

**** happens. We just played our worst game and still have a chance at a playoff game. Just a stinker today.

Still, Go Big Orange!!!!!!

I was so tired yesterday after getting up at 4, working all day, watching the game at Dad's house, and loading firewood and picking peppers at half time... I fell asleep not too long after getting home. So I enjoyed the Hoya this morning. At first, I thought it may be too much for me. After a few puffs and a nice ash, it smoothed out and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to get you something you may have not tried. And, I wanted to get you something you’d enjoy. I was kinda worried about the choices and thought about telling you to exchange them if you didn’t like what I had picked out.

Wouldn't exchange them for the world! I'm pretty much a beginner and anything you aficionados suggest, I'm trying. I can't wait to try the other two. Thank you again, kind Sir!

I don’t know about the aficionado part. I just like trying many different smokes.

Huzzah!!!

The view is almost better than the cigar. That's fantastic.

 

[Gandalf]

So at a business meeting at a cigar lounge and had a Late Hour Davidoff. Really tasty these. A lot of my favorite flavors with a level of refinement to be expected in a great cigar like this.

Enjoying a Arturo Fuentes toro with a little Nelson Brothers Original

[loggervol]

Nice ash going there.

 

[Tin Man]

Think I’ll celebrate the Vols victory with another Arturo Fuentes shade grown toro and a libation.

I’ve got one I’m holding onto just in case we make the playoffs.

Something a little different today. Drew’s Nica Rustica. Must be the toro because this is definitely not a 60 ring. So far I am enjoying it. Definitely a sweetness to it to the aftertaste. Ive got the fire going in front so might mix things up but could swear its a bit nutty almost like an acorn smells, woodsy. no chocolate in this one. A rougher make up (as its designed to be). I want to say earthy and creamy and that sweet woody acorn taste. sorry not to break it down by thirds but eh, Im busy enjoying it. Its not a Late Hour but its a good cigar with if you like the woody earthy profile especially for the price. Has a good burn and I am happy to smoke it to the nub,

@loggervol I smoked the Hoya de Nicaragua yesterday to celebrate the win over the zoo. Very good cigar! I didn't get a photo (brain fart). I did keep the ring, tho. I keep the rings of the cigars I like for future reference.

My taster isn't what it used to be. To me it was "spicy", which I like. Is this spicy perhaps the "pepper" I see y'all talk about when describing flavors?

Perhaps. This spicyness - was it more like a red pepper (the kind you put on pizza) or more like white pepper or black pepper (like cracked on the table?)
