Should have included a Tatuaje La Casita all CT tobacco in my vacation stash for this trip on the 4th. I didn't know the Amish even smoked.

Had a Gurkha Widow Maker today, better that the few I've had recently if you like a mild smoke.
Burned a box-press Oliva Serie G robusto today. Super tasty, only burned about 40 minutes. It's much softer than other Oliva sticks I've smoked, but stayed cool up until it was about an inch left. Laid it down with about .75" above the cut.
Decided to try an aged (1-2yrs) Casa Blanca Deluxe toro today to see if they improved any. Maybe a touch milder.
Smoked an Alameda robusto today, it was less objectionable than the toro version, but didn't seem to have much going for it. The temps were below freezing, so it was not a leisurely smoked cigar.
Had a 5 Vegas Series A Animal the other night. Nice draw, held a good ash, flavor built through the middle and it finished smooth.
Nice smoke, would definitely have another one!

Bahia maduro pancho today while shoveling snow. The wrapper was almost as black as coal.
yesterday tried a Espinosa EO no.21 toro and found it to be very mild and unremarkable. Today I had a Partagas Serie S toro perfecto- no better with age.
Got a foot of snow on the ground from the day before Turkey and it has been spitting snow off and on yesterday and today with below freezing temps.

It is 52F here & raining, not Christmas weather here in da Burgh. @ this time last year we had had about 24 inches of snow all ready, so far this year about 2 inches....... you dont shovel rain .... AMEN. it is the last night of chaunaka , I celebrate all the holidays ( I will pass on ramadon ) I dont fast & LOVE BACON !
the shop has been BUSY all week, my feet hurt as well as my head.... if one more gray haied grandmother asks me if that is a good cigar ........ WE DONT HAVE JUNK,,,, no machine made cigars in the shop EVERYTHING is hand rolled. ( by virgins ) hahahaha.....

I got a call from the jewelry shop & the clock I oedered for our anniv. in August came in today...... GREAT timing... I spent all my cash all ready , cant wait till the last minute........
I wish all of you a Merry Christmas & hope Santa fills your humidors
Enjoy, Vince
And a Merry Christmas to all. Vince, you are a day ahead of time-tonite is Christmas eve. I can't seem to get it straight half of the time either- Christmas on a Thursday this year just doesn't seem right. Today we are expecting a deluge and high wind along with flood watches thru Christmas morning. Temps are supposed to be near record highs (low 60's), so I may just find a spot outside where the rain isn't falling and light one up

Vince, you need to reread that. Tuesday the 23rd was not Christmas eve, unless Christmas was changed to the 24th. We celebrated today---Christmas that is. I tried a Black Ops maduro toro, but I couldn't get any flavor out of it. I think I may have to give up smoking for a while if I can, to see if I can get my palate back. If not, I'll be on a steady diet of crappy cigars till I do. Yesterday's flood warnings were wrong, we barely got more than a quarter inch and nothing this morning. It was a Christmas without snow here.
tony, I see what Vince is saying: it was Christmas Eve Eve (the eve of Christmas Eve), which would be the 23rd.
At least, that's how I took it.

And I thought you had finger stuttering. I don't know where everybody went. We used to have a nice small group here last year.
I understood it because I'm divorced/remarried and we split Christmas, alternating from year to year. So, one year Christmas Day is Christmas, one year Christmas Eve is our Christmas Day due to my stepsons going to dad's at 10 in the morning. This created the conversation "It's our Christmas Eve" for the 23rd, and then "It's really Christmas Eve Eve".
You knuckleheads, this is todays smoke not todays poke! Ayways, Ashton ESG 22 Year Salute. ROCKED MY WORLD IN THE LAST 1/3rd!
