The Cigar Life

 Sunday, July 19, 2026 When I was in Arizona I smoked a lot of cigars with natural, light brown, wrappers as opposed to dark brown, madurao wrappers. I smoke a lot of cigars with maduro wrappers which have been tasting more and more bitter to me lately. I haven't found a lot of cigars with natural wrappers which are more girthful. I love a larger sized cigar like Asylum 13s and La Flor Dominicana Diggers but they all have maduro wrappers.  I'd like to find a more mondo sized one with a natural wrapper. 

Friday, July 17, 2026 s I love smoking cigars on warm summer days. This'll be the second summer where I don't have to go back to school in the fall.  The are Little Hoyos. I love 'em.

 Saturday, June 20, 2026 Asylum 13's are my current favorite cigar. Lit one up on this Saturday afternoon.  Smoked it in the yard.  These take a little more than 2 hours.  They're well worth the time commitment.  Listened to my most favorite Sarah Vaughan album while relaxing. 

 Thursday, June 18, 2026 Dale and I went to the Y this morning. Afterward we went to Northbound for lunch. We both got salads. I also got their Canadian Old Fashioned. As always it was great. We stopped by Lund's on the way home to pick up dinner. I smoked 3 cigars this afternoon. The first one was a little Macanudo.  The second one I smoked was a Payback. That's a nice cigar.  Before my final  cigar, another Macanudo, I ran in and grabbed a jacket. It was about 70 degrees out and very dry so it felt a little cool when the sun wasn't shining.  Dale grilled up burgers and we had cole slaw and potato salad will them. It was all very delicious.

 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.
