CIGAR SMOKIN' AND BS

Went ahead and bought this, dad has a small humidor so I'll use that for now buy eventually setup a pelican case as a humidor.

 

Last couple that I’ve had!

 

How were they?

 

The kfc is hands down my favorite. I love them. I buy packs of the chunky version all the time. They’re sweet and smokey. Reminds me of bbqn over red oak in the fall. The leafs are great cigars, very well made. That one was a corojo. Leathery and spicy and very smooth. I prefer the Maduro version tho. They hoyo was a gift I received from a friend in Italy. I should have left it in the humi a little longer as it was a tad dry but I wanted to try one. Peppery, creamy with cedar flavors. I have a few more sitting in the humidor so I’ll try again in a few months. Another fav is the Maduro Undercrown by Drew Estates.

 

Picked up a humidor a few smaller cigars to try and 2 more Gran Habano La Conquistas yesterday.

 

What kind of humi? I picked up a smaller bcic earlier this month but I’m in the market for a bigger one. Around 100-125 count.

Picked up some Candella Acids today in KOP.

Current inventory:

I’ve only got a little box so I can’t hold too many of them:
(That’s a blonde for size comparison)

I just dig these green ones

 

I’ve had a Pelican 1060 as my travel box for years. About $20 and indestructible. Holds 8 to 10 big gauge cigars up to about 7.5”. Enough for a long weekend.

 

Today’s delivery.

 

Gonna be a good weekend

 

Smoked 4 of the 6 cigars from warfighter tobacco so far, favorite so far is the Field 7.62, tastes good, the smoke isn’t harsh, an it’s just overall enjoyable.
I need to re-try the 5.56 field as I don’t really remember it but I know the Garrison 5.56 is way too strong for me (and my sister), the 7.62 garrison is a little stronger than the field 7.62 but is enjoyable, just not as good as the field.
Now all I have left are the field and Garrison 50 cal.

And here’s a little guide to the above for you guys who know more about the different fillers/wrappers.



I do have to say after being up 19 hours a little glass of honey whiskey and a cigar was very relaxing, I almost fell asleep on the back porch.

 

Sounds like heaven.

 

It was damn close, between having the dogs just chilling out around me, the frogs and crickets in the background, a very gentle breeze, partial moonlight, and 20 minutes to the outskirts of the nearest city, it was super relaxing.

 

Started it (field, .50 cal) this afternoon doing some yardwork and then let it go out and then lit it back up this evening.
It’s a darker cigar than the 7.62 but not too dark, I find it fairly pleasant (a little strong but not overwhelming) however my sister took one draw on it and handed it back and then started attempting to spit the taste out, and the smoke is slightly harsh, but not near as bad as the garrison 5.56.

 

In the market for a couple herf a dor cases. Was at Harbor Freight earlier and their Apache cases compare to Pelicans (their words not mine)...anyone have experience with these? Quality seemed good on first inspection

 

You can get the bigger 15 capacity for about that, the HF brand was $15, just a tad bigger than herf a dor x15

Double corona .50 cal garrison, and a robusto 7.62 field.
I’m not a fan of the robusto size, so far I much prefer the double corona.
