The whole dang thing looks great...cigar, rum, coke all in a nice setting.

My back yard is my oasis / refuge. Normally I am more into sipping rums, especially Ron Zacapa, but it's warm here and a rum coke (or two) really hits the spot right now!

You're welcome, Matt. I'm new to many of these smokes myself!

Had a Tatuaje TAA 2016. Great cigar. Sad they're about 12 ish dollars and change.

Some old RyJ that is from a time long ago and some BOTL here, View media item 11905when I did not label cigars, damn tasty too.

VR Famosos for my walkdown. This one is FOTT and good so I think it will shine with some rest and age.

Trinidad Coloniales after a 3 day palette cleanse of no cigars or pipes. Kind of muted, back down for a rest they go!

A year old Tat 10th anniversary that seemed to have lost much of it's punch.

A Fuente 858 SG with Santo Domingo Dominican coffee. Great compliment. A great way to start Friday! The coffee brings out a mild spice in the stick midway through. Nice.

RyJ Cazadore on the drive to work...what a great, dependable smoke.

Oh, don't expect experience to change anything in that regard. I see and hear about new cigars at least weekly.

I selected a cigar I've been enjoying since I bought a box several months ago. Ortega Serie 'D' Black belicoso. Jumped the box on auction for like $60 from one of my favorites, Eddie Ortega. These are spice bombs at 65% and actually improve at slightly higher RH. I just dried my beads so this was the spice bomb variety. Still very enjoyable IF you like 'em spicy. The spice drops off and sweetness ramps up a bit at around 67%. Draw and burn are still fine, though. Nice construction for a cheaper cigar. Looks like a premium inside and out. Not terribly complex but whaddya want for $3?

Fri. evening smoke: Fratello The Boxer

from one of my favorites, Eddie Ortega.

Sounds good. I love a lot of Eddie's smokes too. Out of all the smokes he's been involved with, I think the only one I didn't enjoy was the Murcielago. (the bat dealio). I just got some various 601 labels (non-pepin from what I understand). Need to see how they are these days.

Never even seen some of those smokes nor even know where to get them.
