The Cigar Life

 Saturday, June 13, 2026 Lit up this afternoon. Big, fat Asylum 13. Which is one of my favorites.  Temperature was in the lower 70s. The humidity was low and it was comfortable enough when the sun was out but then the clouds moved in.  So I went back inside and grabbed my leather jacket. It started to rain so I moved into the garage.  This size Asylum takes about a couple hours to smoke.  Listened to Lush Life - The Music of Billy Strayhorn . By Joe Henderson. 

 Thursday, June 11, 2026 Been hot and humid the previous couple days.  Smoked a big, fat, long La Flor Dominicana. Today was bit cooler that it's been lately so it made for great leather jacket weather.  Put on my gloves too. Diggers take a long time to finish. That's part of the reason I like them. It's usually about 2 and a half hours smoke. I mostly sat out in the yard but then rain moved in and I headed for the garage.  And listened to Django Reinhardt.

 Sunday, May 17, 2026 Lighting up is its own little event.  And an Old Fashioned earlier today at brunch. 

 Saturday, May 2, 2026 Lit up a big fat Asylum 13 and boy was that fun.  Tasted good too.  Very pleasant outside.  Listened to some jazz which I haven't done for a while. 

 Thursday, April 30, 2026 Lit up a digger this afternoon. One of my favorites. 

 

 Wednesday, April 8, 2026 Picked up an Asylum 13 recently at Stogies on Grand.  Decided to smoke it today.  It's been ages since I've had one.  Steve and I used to smoke these a lot.  They're fun to smoke.  Earlier today Dale and I went to lunch at Northbound. I had an Old Fashioned and he had a beer. We both got hamburgers. After lunch we took Mom to the doctor and he gave the go ahead that she can take her neck brace off. She was excited and we were so happy for her. It's been three months and she never really got used to how constricting it felt.  Upper 50's today but windy.  Hard to keep this one burning evenly but it wasn't solely because of the wind. Sometimes these big ones just do that.  Once back inside I had another Old Fashioned. Sushi for dinner and watched Big Bang Theory with Dale.  Great cigar. Really enjoyed it.
