    Ordered some Oliva Serie V Churchill Extras a few weeks back from Fox. In the past I haven't really been able to get into the Oliva hype, but this was the #5 cigar of 2022 for CA so decided to take a flyer. Absolutely fantastic and will be buying more.




    Watch band not chunky enough. All else is fire.
    That's funny cause my watch bros here like @Doogles and @Swaye are always telling me the standard, modern Omega SMP bracelet - i.e., from James Bond Golden eye to the present - is too chunky.

    Chunk is all about the bling. Nothing to do with comfort, use or function.

    Smokeless Ashtray: Does such a thing actually exist for cigars?

    I'll take your comments off-the-air. Thanx.

    So, fuck Budweiser's Costco 36 pack for $26. Sapporo just took it's place in my rotation, and AB is out as well.

    Found a Holmes cigar ashtray on Amazon for around $25 that actually works pretty well, except the fan clicks a little, which is annoying. If I find a better one, I'll poast about it.
    I love Bud Heavy, although it's second place to Coors Banquet as my pods @CfettersNachoLover and @CFetters_Nacho_Lover know well. But neither pair well with Cigars.

    For cigars, it's:

    1) Dark Rum




    2a) Bourbon
    2b) Scotch







    3) Faggy IPA or Pale Ale




    Everything else is worthless unless you're a camel puller like @PurpleBaze in which case, covfefe is acceptable
    German or Italian pilsner is a better palette cleanser before getting into second/next cigar.

    I could see this.

    Throat cancer season is upon us in White Wakana and Yella has been going through sticks like Grant through Richmond. @dannarc I might need to give up the hunter gathering and become a civilized farmer like @Swaye.

    Some recent smokes I've really enjoyed...

    Mentioned this one above but wanted to provide the CA review. I'm also not a Churchill guy...way too much stick for me. But these Serie V has lived up to their #5 Cigar of 2022 rating.

    Have never been an Ashton guy but took a flyer on these #10 Maduros. Robustos are my favorite size of stick and these are rich in flavor while still being silky smooth. Some nice hints of shoe leather, cumin, lemon zest and avacado @Swaye

    I blew through my 2023 Cuban cigar budget in London this past spring. They are going to have to remain an overseas novelty purchase for me.

    It's been trending on the hot side for the back patio here in Spudville. Looks like a little cool down coming through the 4th, upper 70's! Thinking about making an outdoor fire with some shitty pondo pine wood, kicking back with some clear 'shine, maybe a little apple pie and enjoying a nice evening with a decent smoke stick that I am in short supply of.

    The wife brought me a Cuban from Mehico last yr, damn good
