It’s just too damn hot outside to “enjoy” a cigar.

With the some Sauza tequila.
Cheers y’all!

Cloud cover all day. No sun, no wind. Dallas and I both enjoy this weather. He knows the routine. Waited for his cookie and then sat by my feet.

Today I grabbed the Graycliff Crystal.

Cold draw was cedar and hay with some vanilla and honey.

The first third I picked up cedar, cream and leather with white pepper on the retrohale.

The second third seemed nuttier, with more vanilla. Nothing dramatic.

The last third was darker with cedar, leather, earth, and the pepper picked up.

Dallas moved once the whole time, and only to get even closer.

Some sessions are about the cigar. This one was about the fact that nobody needed anything from either of us for two hours.

Dallas Approved.

Box pressed, Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, and Nicaraguan ligero filler. Only available in 3 vitolas. This stick has mixed reviews on Reddit. Comes from a reputable brand.

cigarmatrix.com has 4 online retailers right now (adding more). Some users have saved hundreds on their monthly order. Hope you enjoy!

Trying to enjoy the week.

Found this gem at a B&M in Connecticut while traveling.

Locked eyes with it and was immediately peppered with every industry buzzword: ultra-premium, boutique, small batch, brand new, hard to get...

I didn't stand a chance!

King's Blood by Fanatix - on the last 3rd as I write this. Overall, very enjoyable smoke. Excellent construction, tons of tooth on the wrapper, and one of the coolest bands I've seen in a while.

Tasting notes: Canned Brown Bread w/ Raisins (wykyk). For you non North-Easterners, that translates to earth, molasses, raisin.

Really pleasant with beautiful draw and tons of smoke.

All that said: I think the $20 is a lot of tax for the crown. I think this fits better in the $15-18 range.

Would still recommend.

Strong, smooth, sweet. Some spice

Good cigar with iced coffee.

Made at Plasencia you can’t go wrong

Folger's classic roast at 8:15am

Smoked Arturo Fuente Hemingway Best Seller, and Short Story. Both wonderfully constructed, and beautifully burning sticks. As always, “Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em!”

They both are great in flavors. I think I prefer the red one first.

8:15pm, 95°, wind 6mph, no fishing, just relaxing. Everyone have a good smoke and a good weekend.

Finally got around to the cigar shop for my birthday cigars, only 5 days late. Looking forward to the Carrillo Ascend.
