The Cigar Life

 Saturday, February 14, 2026 Beautiful day today. Couldn't not have a cigar.  Unseasonably mild.  Picked up a Digger at Stogies on Grand after having lunch with a friend over in Saint Paul.  Haven't had a Diggers in quite a while. They take a while to smoke so they're not the best for really bitterly cold day.  On frigid days I'll smoke a really small cigar (if at all). Temps in the lower 30s to 40s and I'll light up a medium sized cigar. Mid-40s and above are optimal for a mondo cigar.  In the mood for 90s era Jazz. 

 Monday, December 15, 2025 Poured some gin and smoked a couple cigars in my upstairs cigar lounge. 

 Sunday, December 7, 2025 Only 9 degrees outside so I lit up upstairs.

 

Friday, October 17, 2025 Amazing autumn day. Perfect to sit out back with a cigar.  I lit up a La Flor Dominicana, also known as The Digger.  Dale and I both commented how incredibly beautiful it was out.   It really was.

 Sunday, September 28, 2025 Smoked a Hoyo Excalibur this afternoon. It lasted about 90 minutes.  Lovely afternoon. Listened to Chet Baker.
