Cain Cigars, Straight Ligero , Sam Leccia roller

[steamboat]

I met Sam Leccia and Ian Hummel of Oliva fame today at J. Shepard's Cigar Shop on Bardstown Road in Louisville, Ky today. J. Shepard hosted a cigar event, Ian was passing out Nubs and pouring Jack Daniels. Sam was rolling cigars and getting his ear talked off by pretty much everyone in the crowd. There was a band and pizza so life was pretty good in Louisville today.

I smoked one of Sam Leccia's Cain cigars. I am a big Ligero fan and these contain 3 different kinds of Ligero. 25% Estlli Ligero, 27% Condega Ligero and 30% Jalapa Ligero. I am still too big a noob to know one from the other, but I know liked it a lot.

They had a corn hole game but I can't bring myself to play. I just can't work out how I could tell people that I went out with the guys and played corn hole.

You had me jealous until the last paragraph... wtf is a corn hole game? I'd search google, but I'm afraid of the images that'll pop up!

 

[IanHummel]

It was great to finally meet you! Glad you had a good time and enjoyed the cigars.

It's a beanbag toss game that became really big in colleges. They have a huge cornhole tournament in DC every year. (I snickered a little as I typed that).

God, I hadn't heard that word since I was in the Navy in 1961. I think it is safe to say that's an instant attention getter. Sure hoped you explained that one to Rod :whistling:

Cain :thumbs:

I'm going to pick up a box once they get back in stock at the shop I go to.

Looking forward to trying the Cain cigars myself. "Cornhole!" To funny...

THese are awesome.

The 'corn hole' game is called Baggo and it is widely popular beyond college kids. There are few better 'sports' that suit drinking beer and smoking cigars better than Baggo.

Oh, it's also quite addictive.

I bet. Once you've had cornhole, you never go back.

Apparently it is very similar to pitching Horseshoes but much safer to play while drinking. I used to play a similar game that involved pitching washers (flat washers not appliances).

I can't tell what's worse, cornhole or baggo? Either one sounds painful to me.
