Hey KB, did I tell you I worked with a guy from Chattanooga? I could barely understand him, LOL! He had some great expressions we don't hear up here in the north:

"Them pheasants I was tagging are as dumb as a bag of hammers."

He was a big Vols fan (surprise, surprise). I told him I like the Gamecocks and the Gators and he was about ready to take a swing at me!

Cocks and gators.... Sounds more like a Spurrier fan. He was a pretty good player/coach, so I don't have much fault on that. And yeah, you know sometimes I get excited and start making words run together.

Had my first AF DC Personal Reserve tonight. A fair amount of tar towards the end...

Have two cigars left. This one started out very muted and I almost chucked it. Half way through it picked up and had a toasted almond and cocoa flavors that I remembered. Can't believe I've smoked through 2 boxes of these. This was the first EL that I chased after.

Is that the temp from cigar storage or ambient room? I only ask because of the temp and that this is often not understood.
Been curious about the Payback, though.
I'm enjoying this malty San Lotano Oval on the front porch. Beautiful day and a party later to perhaps get another cigar in after some barby.

That's the room temp. But I store at room temp.

The cigar is Matt Booth's project. I believe Davidoff has something to do with the production and distribution of that cigar. It's a little young. But I love the structure. Triple cap like CC's. Draw may be too loose for some, but perfect for me. Burn is always excellent. Tons of smoke. Ash can go damn near to the band. Very subtle flavors. If you blink, you will miss them. It's more along the light citrus or walnut flavors. Finish is short. I always pair with an apple juice or something like that . It's a mild smoke up until the last 1/3 and then a little bit of medium sneaks up on you. Not a whole lot going on, but that's the kind of smokes I like.

Partagas Anejados.

How are those? Been curious to pick up a few from a vendor who offers singles.

I don't smoke a lot of DE these days and forgot all about these lanceros. Very good. Would be even better if the Illusione and RoMa Craft H-Towns didn't exist.

Actually I heard that the Drew Estate Undercrown Shade is pretty good. Will try when I catch a sell.
