A simple observation

[pektel]

I don't have a lot of Opus. I do have enough that if I smoke them everyday I'll either get sick, or sick of them. If I ate steak everyday it might get old. I have a bunch of steaks in the freezer right now but I had some awesome Ribeye on Sunday so I don't feel like steak. I feel like a burger so I want to go out and get a chuck ground fresh so I can cook some burgers. Just because I have a bunch of steaks doesn't mean all I want to do is eat steaks. I stocked up on a few here and there when I saw nice sales. Just because I have a decent amount of Opus doesn't mean I want to smoke one everyday. When I see them on sale, here and there, I pick some more up if I can so I don't run out. This is true for many of the sticks I buy.

Hmmm... that's not quite what I meant. I didn't mean to smoke them all the time. I meant I don't wait around if I feel like smoking one of the more expensive sticks.

I hear ya on the steak. I too made awesome ribeyes on Sunday. Although tonight I'm thinking chicken something or other. Scored BOGO boneless/skinless chicken breasts at the grocery store, and gonna put them to good use

Cordon bleu dude.

One part of that ribeye on Sunday was like straight butter. Fantastic!

Never made it before. Thanks for the idea. I'll look up a recipe right now!

Ribeye is my favorite cut, though I only buy it when it's on sale. The last ones I bought were 7.99 a pound.

All of mine are fair game...'cept the Oliva blue silk...that will be done in when I have the perfect combination of time, environment, and mindset to sit and enjoy it... out on the deck on a balmy windless night, after the wife and kids have gone to bed...

Not necessarily a 'special occasion, just a time where I can appreciate the rare cigar- since it will likely be my last of that particular make and model.

Where's the beef?

[pektel]

Probably my septic tank by now.

Funny thing is, they turned out so awesome, that I did almost take a couple pics.

Banter peek.

Best Opus I ever had was three or more years old. I hate them fresh!
