Should I find something mild and stick with this? Or go big and switch to whiskey?

 

[TallDan]

We’ll see how this pans out. A few sips of wine left in this glass, whiskey could be next.

Refilled the glass of wine. Not my go-to with a cigar, but I’m enjoying it tonight. Definitely an interesting pairing.

Happy Father’s Day to any fathers out there.

Hey Guys, long time no post.

Recently made landfall in Horta, Azores via NYC-Bermuda. About 2,500 miles under sail total.

There is good beer here, but I havent found stogies yet.

I’ll most to that.

I dunno, my younger dream was usually about Spring Break w beach babes in Florida! [emoji6] The Azores is more age appropriate now. [emoji849]

What you think of that? I enjoyed it at a Dunbarton dinner. Had some problems with the burn but the rest was really good. Saka and the reps were all smoking them and then they gave me a couple at the end of dinner.

And a Sombremesa that was sitting in my locker for a week on the course.

Right in my wheelhouse. Strong maduro. It’s obvious he likes strong cigars. I find many of his maduros to be tweeted lp9s but different enough to stand on there own merits. I’ve enjoyed everything he’s put out. Haven’t tried the $100 cigar as on yet. Think I read somewhere he’s got another new Marcia coming with a strong but a conn wrapper.

Candela? I've never had one, my dad used to smoke them in the 90's.

Preferred cigar in the US prior to the 1990s when preference went to brown wrappers. Same DR filler as the other 858s but slightly lighter and smoother.

Finally remembered to take a pic. These are just over a year old but tasting pretty nice already. Especially the final third was showing its true colors.

I found a small box of Te Amo cigars I bought at the duty free coming back from my honeymoon in Mexico two years ago. They were in my old humidor, but it doesn't seal that well and I'm sure the beads dried out long, long ago.

They're definitely dry now, but not crumbling and still have a decent scent. They were all cello wrapped as well. Worth it to try to slowly bring them back up to humidity?

As long as they're not damaged, definitely worth it. May not get much out of it, but definitely worth the try to make it happen I think.
