Ooo, you are very lucky you don't live here then. As they say.. 50% of our health care funds goes towards curing sinus infections that come from trying to pronounce French vowels. (the other half being hockey injuries)

Looking forward to more from this thread!

Thanks my friend. The Canada comment was mostly based on the weather. I would rather sweat than freeze any day.

We are still getting alot of well needed rain here, but it does not help construction much. This lake was not here a couple days ago.



I only left the house with one stick this morning because I figured I would have plenty of time at lunch to visit a local B&M. My morning pick was another favorite of mine that I smoke alot of. Oliva Series O. I love everything about this cigar. It screams cigar just looking at it. Full bodied, thick ring guage, lots of smoke, and tastes great. I love the finish on these things.



Damn thing looks huge at that angle...looks like a prop for Linda Lovelace.

I would not hesitate buying a box of these things...if I only had more storage room.



I origanally bought this torch for my wife to make creame bru lae. (however you spell it. Works much better for toasting my cigars.

Are there any cheapo sticks at this job site?

5-21-09 cont...

Well lunch time came and I got back with a hand full of treats.



Nub Habana, which I smoke alot of. Cant wait for the Maduro Nub!
Benchmade Robusto, cheap thing the B&M girl told me to try.
San Cristobal Clasico 5x50, been wanting to try one.
Padron 7000 maduro, should be double the fun of a 3000...we will see.
Diamond Crown Figurado #6, cause its looked hella yummy!
CAO America Landmark 6x60...been wanting to try one, never had anything by CAO, might as well try one that looks cool.

So what was going to be my after lunch smoke?....The Padron 7000 of course. Are you kidding me?



$5.66? Why the heck am I spending all this money buying anni's?...cause they are great thats why! But seriously, The 7000 was really good.
I still got alot of the same flavors I get when smoking a anni. Perhaps not nearly as smooth and flavorful as a 26 or 64, but at under $6...very nice.

5-21-09 cont. some more...

Just for acarr, before heading home for the day I decided to try the el cheapo that the girl at the B&M said to try. I asked what she thought was a decent cigar for cheap. Benchmade Robusto I paid $2.71, and it was worth it because I did not lose out on too much money. This thing was definitely a dog stick. It is supposed to be from Ashton.



Cant really explain it, but it had the worst after taste. I chucked this thing out the window on the way home. I barely made it to the half way point. Much better than an Acid though!

Ah Friday, and a three day weekend to boot! I decided to smoke the CAO America Landmark, 6x60. First thing you notice about this stick is its cool barber pole wrapper. I also liked its size. Big, just like a double robusto. I did not get alot of smoke from it, but alot of flavor to make up for it. I would rate this as an average cigar, that I would definitely smoke again. I kept getting a hint of mint. Am I alone in this?





Well thats another week of smokes. Hopefully after the weekend my sinus infection will be better along with my taste buds. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.
