What happened to The Great HBT Stogie Thread

[lowtones84]

First brew in the new house, so as I was cleaning up I decided to have a stogie since it was in the mid 40's. Mexican stogie with a Mexican imperial stout aged in Mezcal barrels. Still need to build the collar for my keezer. Gonna go 2x8" which will let me put a keg on the hump. Should be able to squeeze three kegs into this 5.5 cu with that 8" collar. These Perlick flow control faucets are the bomb.

In New Orleans. Thought I was walking into a cigar store and walked into much more than that!

I like how the closest workstation has a handle of rum laying on its side.

Thats usually my sign that I've had enough and I'm going home for the day

 

[TallDan]

It’s actually a spray bottle, but you made me wonder if I had missed something there.

I got this gift from CoH. What is it?

Hey Hoppy
It's a tool for for opening and reclosing a cigar box. You cut the seal with the knife end of the tool and, after inspecting, the hammer end is used to pound the nail back in.

Anyone had 2019 RASS? Just got a FEB 19 box and wondering if they'll be good after a quick nap in my humi.

Not sure about the photo quality but that ruthless rye is a 2015 lol, I grabbed it from a fridge when the wife and I vacationed at a ski resort condo two years ago it was so smooth I had been saving it for a nice day, I haven’t seen it in stores for awhile maybe they stopped production

The other SN beer I miss is the Tumbler brown ale they brewed for the Fall season damn that was a delicious smokey brown

Nica Rustica by the fire

Too nice of a evening to not kick back and relax after taking care of some trees that fell from yesterday’s storm

Weather's getting nice, let's revive the thread!

Feb 2019 RASS. Still a bit young and brash but still nice. From a few days ago.

 

[lowtones84]

Another RASS. After a short nap in my humi it's already better. Some really great earthy tones, which I love, some spices. With a Journeyman's Distillery bourbon.

What's everyone else smoking?

Hey Jay,

Hope everything's well out in Cali and Redding's recovered from the fires too. How's the business doing during the pandemic?

 

[brewgar]

Gave up cigars after retirement. Have a 6' tall temp/moisture cabinet full of perfectly kept cigars, all +10 years aged. Trade for beer, etc. Contact via PM.

Just treated myself to something I have never bought before: a box of Padron Maduro Anniversarios! Sure do love Padron. Unusually am lucky to get 2-3 a year, but I need to make the box last all 2021 long.

Hey Jay,

Its been a ruff year! Not gonna lie. Business is doing ok and we are continuing to create innovations that are selling very well here in the US and overseas. We still even in Dec have fires burning in CA. I have 2 kids in the house that both work for forestry. Normally they would be out of a job right now but both still banging away. Crazy!

We have had a substantial family illness and so I am trying to learn how to navigate that, work, inspire and create all while keeping my sanity intact. Cigars haven't been high on the priority list but when I do sit down for one its been AMAZING!

Be well!
Cheers
Jay
