Nearing the final few days at school for the year (with finals ending last week), i've been feeling a bit bitter sweet about heading home. i decided that, with the beautiful weather today, i would grab a stogie, pick up a coffee, and go to the quad to smoke it.

El triunfador was the cigar of choice. it looked beautiful, an amazing dark wrapper with only one large vein, in one of my favorite sizes out there (lancero). i wasn't paying as much attention to the cigar as recollecting all the experiences i've had at school this year, eager in anticipation as to what will come in the next.

Light spicy flavor throughout, medium-full body, thoroughly enjoyed throughout. tasting notes kept to a minimum here, as earlier stated, but certainly one that i would be interested in keeping a stock of. im sure half a creamosa and half a kuba kuba duct taped together would have tasted amazing as well, given the environment. happy smoking

That place looks empty. Give my university some sun and it looks like sea lions on a sunny day at the beach :r ... just bodies littered everywhere on the quad.


Great pics though Ben. Congrats on the end of the term/semester. :tu

not when school's out. dorms have been closed, graduation has happened, and the only people there are taking pictures with buildings for one last time or are wierdos smoking cigars :tu
