Valentine's Day Cigar

Image
 Saturday, February 14, 2026 Beautiful day today. Couldn't not have a cigar today.  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). Upper 30s to lower 90s and I'll light up a medium sized cigar. =

Enjoying Fall

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.

Nice Afternoon for a Cigar

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

 Saturday, June 28, 2025 Dale and I had Mike and Charisse over for dinner tonight. Mike brought over cigars, Plasencias, and we smoked them before dinner.  I'd never heard of this brand before and it was pretty amazing.
