Good morning S / BOTL - 2025

Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's a windy morning here in the Hudson Valley with the current temperature at 25°F and a wind chill of 8°F. We had a great weekend overall even with the snow/sleet/frozen rain Saturday night. Started off Saturday going to Aroma for a while and the place was packed, everyone else wanted to smoke a couple before the storm. Yesterday after cleaning the vehicles off and shovelling the driveway and walkways, Beth and I relaxed watching the Daytona 500 pre show and race. There was a 4+ hour rain delay after the start and the finish was excellent. There were numerous wrecks as always on a super speedway but the racing was top notch:

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's another brisk day here in the Hudson Valley with the high temperatures only getting in the mid 20s according to NOAA:

Later on this afternoon, we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY to see how all the local S/BOTL are doing and to enjoy a cigar or two. Have a great day all and enjoy as well....... :)
 
Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's Friday for all you working people. We had a great time at Aroma last night, the place was packed and we all enjoyed primo stogies. We started last month with one of the guys bringing in a box of cigars and we all smoked the same cigar to review and see how it was. Last night was my turn and I brought a well aged box of Aging Room Pura Cepa (100% Nicaraguan) Mezzo.

Everyone enjoyed them and a couple of the guys went online and bought a box as well. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys....... 👍

Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's looking like we'll have a nice week here in the Hudson Valley. We had a great weekend with the annual Wild Game dinner at the American Legion in New Windsor, NY on Saturday. Beth and I spent most of Friday there with the crew prepping and ensuring that the feast would be a big hit. Yesterday, we stayed home and relaxed all day watching NASCAR and relaxing on the couch. Weather wise, we will BBQ most of the week and enjoy as much as possible. Have a great week all and enjoy it as well....... :)

Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's Thursday which we all know is Aroma Cigar Room day in Monroe, NY. We'll be heading that way around 1500 (3 PM) and kicking back with the fellas for a good 5 hours as always. Enjoy your day everyone and smoke a favorite or two as well....... 🍺
 
Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's Tuesday morning and I'm about to go out and get the Jeep it's annual inspection. Now that our taxes are done for the year, we can exhale again and get ready for our next vacation. I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys....... 🍺
 
Good morning everyone, the coffee has been on for a while now and it's a wet start this morning in the Hudson Valley. Being that it's Thursday, we'll be heading to the Aroma Cigar Room later on this afternoon. Next week, we'll be flying into West Palm to attend the Great Smoke and all the events to include the Bunch on Sunday:


Have a great day all and enjoy a favorite or two or....... :)
 
Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's a beautiful Sunday morning as the sun is rising. Yesterday, I went over to the Aroma Cigar Room and spent the day with the fellas and made our final plans for this coming week's trip to West Palm. There's 10 of us flying down and I know we'll have a great time as always. Have a great day everyone and enjoy....... 🥃
 
Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's looking like we'll be enjoying another beautiful day here in the Hudson Valley. Beth and I helped out last night at the monthly Pasta Night at the American Legion in Monroe, NY (Post 1796). Over 85 dinners were served and the food was top shelf. Have a great day all and I'll be checking in from South Florida throughout the week....... :)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's nice to be home after a whirl wind of a five day weekend. We had a great time down in sunny South Florida: Thursday we visited Terence Reilly and the crew at Aganorsa Leaf in Miami; that afternoon we went to Smoke On Water in Weston, FL; closing out that evening we went to the Foundation Cigar event at the Smoke Inn in Boynton; Friday we relaxed at the house which had a huge screened in patio with swimming pool, hot tub and sauna; Saturday was the main event - The Great Smoke at the South Florida Fair Grounds; Sunday we went to the Smoke Inn Brunch at the Boynton store. Fantastic event and we got to see ole' friends as always. Enjoy your week everyone and all...... :)

Good morning all, the espresso is on and it's Thursday which means we'll be heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY later on this afternoon. Today is opening day at Yankees Stadium and the weather looks nice for all the Bronx Bombers fans. Have a great day everyone and enjoy a favorite or two or....... ⚾ 🍺🇺🇸
 
Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's off to the local DMV shortly to get our upgraded driver's licences. Beginning May 7th, the Federal Government now requires you to have a REAL ID Enhanced Driver License: https://dmv.ny.gov/
Beth and I made appointments last month for today as we are getting ready for our trip to Alaska next month. Have a great day all and enjoy....... :)
 
Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's about to start raining here in the Hudson Valley. Congrats to the Yankees on another win last night as well as the Mets (happy for Beth). Both teams will be back at it today and the NASCAR racers will be in Darlington, SC this afternoon. I'm heading over to the Aroma Cigar Room shortly to spend time with the fellas and enjoy a couple of primo stogies. Have a great day everyone and I hope you get to enjoy a favorite or two or....... 👍
 
Good morning everyone, the espresso is on and it's another wet and dreary day here as we speak. Beth and I had plans on doing yard work today which will definitely be rescheduled for tomorrow. Instead, I'll spend some time in the attic going through stuff that may get thrown out / donated to a good cause. Sports wise this past weekend, the Yankees took 2 out of 3 from the Pittsburgh Pirates; Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag in yesterday's NASCAR race; and a big congrats to the ladies from UCONN for another NCAA basketball championship. Have a great week all and definitely enjoy...... 🇺🇸
 
Good morning all, the double espresso is on and it's looking like we'll have a better weather day today in the Hudson Valley versus the past couple of days. Sports wise, the Yankees have lost 3 in a row now and the Mets are on a winning streak. Hopefully the Yankees can turn things around starting this afternoon and not get swept by the Tigers in Detroit. Have a great day everyone and remember to be safe out there....... :)
 
Good morning everyone, the coffee is on and it's Friday (being retired now for a year now - it's Saturday everyday). The Aroma Cigar Room in Monroe, NY was packed last night, everyone was smoking top shelf stogies and talking world news. Sports wise this weekend, the Yankees are back home hosting the San Francisco Giants; the Mets are on the road taking on the Athletics; the NASCAR drivers are in Bristol, TN with racing throughout the weekend; and the NHL is finishing up the regular season getting ready for the playoffs. I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy...... 🍺 ⚾ 🏁 🏒
