Two Cigars in One Day

Saturday, April 29, 2023

Smoking two cigars in a day is something I haven't done in a while and I believe it last occurred sometime this past fall. I lit it up a Macanudo in the garage at about 10:30 a.m. after Dale left for the gym. 

Can't remember the last time I smoked a cigar before noon. Heated up some left-over coffee from this morning in the microwave. The complimentary flavors of these two agricultural products allow them to pair together nicely. 

I lit up my second cigar, an Oliva, at about 4 p.m. This one was a tad bitter as it's been in my mini-humidor most of the winter and I think I may have gone too long at one point without changing the humidity gel pack. In other words it may have dried out at one point. Oh well. It was passable probably due to the orange seltzer I had with it.

A bit chilly without the sun and a little raw on top of that but my Schott Perfecto kept me warm enough.

Another Great Day for a Cigar in the Garage

Saturday, February 11, 2023 Another great day for a cigar in the garage.   It's nice to have light after 5 p.m. Had some rum with my cigar; Plantation to be specific.  Listened to Samara Joy. Finished up my cigar as it was getting dimmer.  I went inside for cocktail hour and had a martini. Dale had some wine. And listened to some more Samara Joy. Glad to hear she won a Grammy recently.  Had the junk truck come pick up our living room sofa and chair earlier today. Thankfully we have a couple of other chairs to sit on as the new couch and chair won't be delivered until this Monday.  Nice day.

Snow and Shoveling and a Story

Sunday, March 24, 2024 We're finally getting a little snow in what has been a mostly snow deprived season.                             We're supposed to get a lot and it's a wet and heavy snow so I'm trying to keep up with it. Lit up a Romeo y Julieta and got started.  I asked Bing to write a story about a man smoking a cigar and shoveling snow. This was the result: "As the man shovels the freshly fallen snow, the chill in the air is temperd bby the warmth of the cigar perched between his lips. The taast is rich and full-boddied, a complex blend of earthiness with hints off spice that seems to defy the simplicity of the winter landscape around him. Each draw from the cigar offers a momentary escape, a sensory journey that contrasts the monotonous task of clearing the driveway." "The man finds joy in this juxtaposition: the manual labor of shoveling paired with the indulgent flavor of the cigar. It's a ritual that grounds him, connecting the act of wor
