March 26, finally a warm day.

I had a Fuente maduro Cuban Corona earlier, and I think I'll have an 8-5-8 Flor Fina tonight...I think I'll try the natural tonight...I have two of those, two maduros, and a candela.

I just lit up a El Rico Habano torpedo. I plan to smoke at least one more before bed.

Lets see here last night I started out with a la aurora 100 anos belicoso. Box is now 10 months old and I think it needs 12 months yet.

Then on to the next bar where I fired up a VSG sorcerer. Another 10 month old box and let me tell you these things are in their prime. Perfect amount of aging. That is the thing with VSG's, if you let them sit too long they loose so much of their flavor so fast. Now the only trick is to smoke all the cigars in the box while they are all "ripe"

After that lovely smoke I moved on to the camacho diploma, a personal favorite. However, I stored the box to close the the humidifier in the cabinet and the turned off so the humidity came up and it was to humidified. As a result it did not burn very well. After several relights I gave up.

I went to Orlando today to visit some family...had a maduro 8-5-8 on the drive up...most excellent. I think this is my favorite cigar so far. My brother in law gave me a Padron 1964 Anniversary Monarca and a Fuente Hemingway Signature.
I tried to smoke a Sol Cubano Corojo robusto, but I think it was a bad one...horrible...I threw it out after smoking about 2 inches.

i always smoke the cheapest first and work up. if not, i end up pitching a good cigar because i wanted a great cigar.

Colonel, I finally but 2 and 2 together and figured out who you are, I read your similiar post on another site. Kind of slow sometimes.

Still cold here in the mountains of NM. Had 22 inches of snow last weekend and another 3 this past week. Just kind of wet and hard to break the chill unless your sitting in front of the fire or in bed. It's trying to break into spring though. I'm about ready for some serious sunshine.

We are blessed to have The Colonel aboard. It's nice to know that true friends follow each other around on the internet. He's one of the really good guys. As for 22 inches of snow, I WISH we had one like that this winter. Our big ones were only about 12. 12 inches of snow is pansy ass nonsense in a county where after 18 inches people are driving around two days later like it's summer. It looks like spring here too. Oh well, since I can't look forward to snow, at least I have track and field. Then we pass the baton to the NFL, and then comes the snow.

Wow, exciting life, huh??? :cryinlaugh: :mrgreen: :cryinlaugh:

Incredible moisture for us this year, we've just finished 9 years of pretty significant drought and have just been hammered with the storms this Winter. I have nine miles of dirt road from my place to the nearest pavement, so keeping the roads open with the drifting and mud has been interesting at best. In a good winter I'll have around 100 inches of snow, this year I've well exceeded that. That translates into good grass and fat and sassy cattle. I'm looking forward to it after the drought.

Fat and sassy cows can be fun. I've had some experience with cattle as a result of my father's farm in Puerto Rico. They're funny sometimes. Anyone that thinks animals don't have a sense of humor is wrong. From your pet dog or cat right down to fat and sassy cows, they do!

We had about six feet of snow here in Dutchess County in the winter of 2001 and also in 2003. That's fairly high for these parts, so you've got us beat in snow. It's pretty boring when we only get a foot, because later that day it'll be all over pretty much. People will be driving around like it's a sunny summer day. We need about a foot and a half or more to slow things up and keep people indoors and close things up for a day or two. Our village gets plowed throughout every storm, so even after a foot and a half you're only limited by your own driveway. A foot of snow is nothing for me to shovel, another reason why it's boring. I'm only just getting warmed up after an hour, and I need close to two feet of snow to feel like I even worked out.
