The Cigar Life

Thursday, October 3, 2024 Had the day off for Rosh Hashanah. Coffee outside this morning with a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur. I'm doing a sober-October and cigars with coffee work better for me in the morning. Afternoon cigars with coffee run me the risk of not being able to fall asleep at night.  Today's cigar was a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur, on of my favorites.  Perfect leather jacket weather when I lit up shortly after 9 am.   Wore my Open Road leather biker jacket which is a bit less heavy than my Schott Perfecto. It worked well this morning as there was some humidity in the air.   Been a while since I've done a morning cigar. This was nice. 

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 Not a bad day at school today and we get tomorrow off for Rosh Hashanah.                       Mom's been in the hospital since yesterday for pneumonia. After my cigar Dale and I grabbed dinner at Northbound and then headed over to Fairview to visit her. She's doing much better and she's in good spirits. Looks like they're going to keep her another night.  

Thursday, September 26,  2024 Like yesterday I fit in another cigar after work. The weather is just too beautiful to pass it up.                       I had Bing AI write a paragrapb about it. I've modified it slightly.                       "After a long day at work, Joe settles into a chair in the backyard, the warmth of the September aftenoon wrapping around him like a comforting blanket. He lights up a cigar, savoring the rich earthy aroma that fills the air. For Joe, smoking a cigar is more than just a habit; it's a ritual of relaxation and reflection. The slow, deliberate act of puffing on the cigar allows him to unwind, letting the stresses of the day melt away with each exhale. The taste, a blend of spicy and sweet notes, brings a sense of satisfaction and peace. It's a moment of solitude and indulgence, where he can simply be, enjoying the simple pleasure of a well-earned break." I've got a much more functional and sane group of students in my class t

 Wednesday, September 25, 2024 We're getting cooler mornings and evenings with nicely warm days and afternoons.                        Perfect for sitting in the backyard with a stogie.                           It was nice to sit back and unwind after school. The sun is, of course, setting later and later making the light particularly golden for late afternoon.

 

Mike was over recently. We sat out back after dark and smoked cigars. He told me he loved sitting in my back yard. I love sitting in my backyard too. We sat facing north looking into Josh and Breanna's yard and beyond the other side of the street. With all the lights it really did look rather magical. We looked at the stars too and found the Big Dipper. At this time of year the Big Dipper is easily seen if you look up just past the north of our roof line.
