The Cigar Life

July 2023 During our time in Arizona I made a lot of rum cocktails.  They'd always include rum, simple syrup, lime juice, and a little orange juice.  Sometimes I'd add some pineapple chunks as a garnish and also a little pineapple juice.  And sometimes I'd top it all off with a little Bubly water. Very refreshing. A couple times I picked up a pre-made Mai Tai at the supermarket. These were quite good.  I love having cocktails with cigars. 

Thursday, February 16, 2023 And yet ANOTHER decent enough day to be outside with a cigar. Supposed to get cold and snow a lot this upcoming week.  Decided to have a little rum with this one.  After I finished the cigar and came inside I poured a little more and watched Ari Melber.

Tuesday, February 7, 2023 Weather's a little warmer today than it's been so it's best to take advantage. By warmer I mean above freezing.  Had a splash of rum before heading to the garage. I love that the sun's staying up later and later. Above photo taken at 5:10 p.m. It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow. Can't wait. By the way, I'm really enjoying these Ashton's. They were recommended to me by one of the staff at Stogies on Grand in St. Paul. I'm glad he did because I probably wouldn't have tried them otherwise. 

Monday, February 6, 2023 So, I'm over Covid. My first day out of work was Tuesday, January 10, although I felt something might be up the Saturday before. I wasn't back in school until Wednesday, January 18. It was quite a long haul. Dale ended up getting it and Mom too. Thank God that's over with. I haven't been that sick in 30 years and this was still the worst. Anyway, I was well enough for a cigar on January 28. See above.  Had another one yesterday. Another Ashton.  Dry January is over so I had a little rum with my cigar out in the garage. Had a little more when I went back inside. It's gonna be a damp February. I really appreciated cutting back. 

Thursday, October 21, 2022 Got in a second cigar today.
