 Monday, February 16, 2025 Back when I was working today woulda been a day off. Now EVERY day is a day off! After the Romeo y Julieta I lit up a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur.

Valentine's Day Cigar

 Saturday, February 14, 2026 Beautiful day today. Couldn't not have a cigar.  Unseasonably mild.  Picked up a Digger at Stogies on Grand in St. Paul after having lunch with a friend.  Haven't had a Digger in quite a while. They take a while to smoke so they're not the best for bitterly cold days.  On colder days I'll smoke a really small cigar (if at all). Temps in the lower 30s to 40s and I'll light up a medium sized cigar. Mid-40s and above are optimal for a mondo cigar.  In the mood for 90s era Jazz.

Enjoying Fall

Friday, October 17, 2025 Amazing autumn day. Perfect to sit out back with a cigar.  I lit up a La Flor Dominicana, also known as The Digger.  Dale and I both commented how incredibly beautiful it was out.   It really was.

Nice Afternoon for a Cigar
