Saturday Afternoon Cigar

Image
  Saturday, September 12, 2026 Got to about 72 degrees today.  Perfect in the shade with my leather jacket on.  Smoked a Monte Cristo. It was amazing.  Bold and strong.  And perfect for this afternoon.  Dale and I sat in the yard.  And listened to Orville Peck.  Dale picked me up an Old Fashioned at the liquor store.  It went really well with my cigar. 

One of Sam's Cigars

 Thursday, September 10, 2026 Smoked a cigar today that Sam gave to me back on my birthday. T'was a Medio Tiempo he brought from Germany. Never heard of it but it was absolutely amazing.  My God it was smooth, and full, and it burned really well. Tasted great.  Dale and I went to lunch at Northbound today. I had their Canadian Old Fashioned. It is such a well made drink. I only wish I coulda had one with my cigar this afternoon but I'm trying to keep booze out of the house since  I'm trying to cut back.  Sat out in the yard. It couldn't have been a more perfect day.  I'm guessing it was about 80 degrees. The dewpoint was way down in the 40s.  It really was just perfect. 

Heading Toward Autumn

 Tuesday, September 1, 2026 It's been a wonderful summer full of cigars. That said, today is the first day of meteorological fall so cheers to another season where it's mostly going to be comfortable to smoke outside.  Looking forward to somewhat cooler weather where it'll be more comfortable to wear more leather. Leather jacket season is on the way. 

Every Man Looks Better Smoking a Cigar

Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur

 Monday, August 3, 2026 Smoked a Hoyo today. Have been having a bit of trouble with these lately. The wrapper wants to peel off once in a while. Especially at the head.  No matter. It tasted good.  Smoked a little Hoyo after the big one.

 Tuesday, July 21, 2026 Smoked a Hoyo Excalibur today and it was particulary satisfying.  Smelled good. Tasted good.  Felt good.  Looked good.
