The Cigar Life

Monday, February 19, 2023 Last year we went to the end of June to make up time for the strike but we got Juneteenth off. This year feels like summer break is just getting started.  After lunch with Noel this past Saturday I stopped by Stogies On Grand in St. Paul to pick up a few more cigars for my humidor.  I also picked up some Romeo y Julieta Minuto Petits. These are great when I don't have the time to smoke a larger cigar or when I just don't want to be outside as long (cold winter days and overly steamy summer days). 

Friday, June 16, 2023 Today's the first day of summer vacation and I'm celebrating with a Hoyo de Monterrey. What a year. It wasn't a bad one but it one of the more challenging one's I've had. I switched grade levels and the post-covid challenges continue to be much greater than I could have ever suspected. All that said, I'm grateful for the break and today is progressing splendidly.  The weather is beautiful. It's a perfect Minneapolis summer day.  And I, of course, listened to lots of music while smoking my cigar. 

Wednesday, June 14, 2023 The smoke from the Canadian fires is really bad today. You could even smell it. At least the sky isn’t orange like in New York. Can only imagine how bad it is in Canada.  Despite the poor air quality I had a cigar in the yard.
