The Week In Review

 Saturday, April 4, 2024

Picked up some cigars at Stogies On Grand a week ago today and got more of a variety than I usually do. Olivas have been my go-to lately but this time I chose a Macanudo, Romeo y Julieta, and a Hoyo de Monterrey.

On Saturday, April 27, I smoked the Romeo y Julieta. It was nice and not too bitter.  

                     

On Sunday, April 28, I smoked one of my little Macaudos. Pulled out the cowboy hat for the first time in a while. 


On Tuesday, April 30, I smoked the Hoyo de Monterrey which I had picked up this past Saturday. The start and the finish were quite enjoyable however part of the center section was a little bitter for my taste. It's been ages since I've had one of these. I'll have to try another one soon to see how it compares. 


On Friday, May 3, I went back to smoking an Oliva which is one of my favorites.  These are consistently nice to smoke. Their mild taste makes them great to have on hand.

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

Image
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 by the warmth of the cigar perched between his lips. The taste is rich and full-bodied, 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 t...
