I finally have time to sit and enjoy a smoke.

I'll be having a 5 Vegas Cask Strength.

Tried my first DE undergrown shade the other day, really enjoyed it. The perdomo petite coronas with Cameroon wrapper too, limited release but not too pricey. Delicious.

Good. Burned well. Nicely constructed. Flavor good.

I see CI has a Man o War sampler on sale this weekend. If you like a good full flavored cigar, they are really good IMO.

Not being hateful but exactly what is a full flavored cigar? Are the leaves soaked in something?

No. It is just a stronger tobacco flavor. Think Budweiser vs Bud Light. Or if you ever smoked cigarettes, Reds vs Lights.

Usually, the lighter the wrapper or outer part of the cigar, the milder the flavor. The darker, the stronger or full flavored it is.

Obviously I am kind of ignorant about cigars, never smoked, not anti just never have done it.

So the flavor comes from the tobacco being in your mouth not necessarily from the smoke?

Mostly the smoke. I take a puff, let it settle in my mouth for a second or two, then blow it out. You get some flavor from the cigar on your lips, (especially if it has what's called a "sweet cap" or something like that) but mostly from the smoke itself.

The flavor of the cigar can change the further down you smoke it. Most of the time it gets a bit stronger or "earthier" or "woodsier" or spicier. But every cigar is different.

They do make flavored and infused cigars too. Two of may favorites are a coffee infused one and a "chocolate mint" flavored one.

The world of cigars is just as expansive as many other things like bourbon, whiskey, beer, sammichs', pizza, bbq, etc. So many different choices. Some you'll like, some you won't. That's the fun of it. At least to me.

Well I won the auction. I have 10 on the way for about $3 each.

Well I got my order this week and have one lit right now.

Pretty dang good. Probably should have let the stay in the humidor a bit as it's blowing up and splitting about 1/3 of the way down.

Had a man o war last night while playing settlers of Catan with some friends.

Last weekend had a padron on my first voyage out with my new sail boat.

I enjoyed it but dad complained of the smell lol

I hate when that happens

Today, in addition to smoking a full packer, enjoying an LFD 700 Maduro....while the packer rests in a cooler for a couple of hours.

Tonight's smoke is a gurka evil.

Pretty good. Light and easy smoke.

I've had something like that before but it's been quite a few years.

How was it?
