    While I am hooking all of you up allow me to help you out even if you are on a tight budget. Carrillo Pledge Prequel on sale for 86 bucks a box. Are you fucking kidding me? $8.60 a stick for the Cigar of the Year? 98 rated! I have smoked an entire box of these already, and put up 3 more boxes for the future. Think I am going to buy two more now at these prices.

    I turned @PurpleBaze and @YellowSnow (and @DHD too I think) on to these and they have purchased them in quantity and can back me up here. These cigars are the best dollar to quality stick in the world. Period. Do yourself a favor and buy a box.

    I offer little to this topic, but I strolled around the park late night smoking a Romeo y Julieta Real Reserva.




    Swaye informed me my need to spit every 10 seconds is because I was most likely ripping it like a crackhead and creating high acidity from burning to fast. Did I get that right @Swaye ?

    All in all it was enjoyable but cold. Need to get better at treating the process like a marathon.

    Also, Yes I'm a douchebag and framed the Rollie into the shot.

    I made an art out of flex photos with cigars and watch. Cruise control for douche.

    Yeah, slow down and it doesn't get so acidic tasting. The hotter it gets the more nasty it gets. Gotta take it slow. That's the issues with winter. It's cold as fuck out and you don't want to relax with it. They do make small stogies just for quick 20-30 minute burns. You have a large stogie there. That's an hour plus easy to do it right. Buy smaller sticks. But there is a warning with that - the narrower the ring gauge the easier it is to heat it up improperly. Get a short fatty (NUB makes good ones, or one of the greatest stogies of all tim the Fuente Hemingway Short Story) and enjoy.

    Yella and I were just discussing "short winter smokes" yesterday. I recommended N45 Cohibas. May look into these.

    These look fun, but a little rich for my blood for short smoke. Fox has then listed at $13 a pop. I’m trying to stay at $7 to $8 on the 30 min smokes.

    Thanks for the text, Swaye.

    I get the E-Mails from Fox, but I still don't know if a particular kit is primo or not.

    Just gave Fox another $130.

    All of these sticks are serious business special sticks. I think on balance you will really like most of them. Padron Black too. Excellent stuff in this kit.

    Can't wait to get my on-wall humidor from Harland. These cigars will need a good home for a while.

    I also ordered an ammo can humidor from him. I've filled up 3 acrylics and am not going to invest in any more of those.
    Acrylics are fantastic to a point but when you cross that rubicon you know it. I can't wait for you to get that humidor. Epic.

    Fox has the CRA Fall Sampler for 129 bucks! I grabbed one. Great deal on over 200 bucks worth of smokes and they are all rares and limiteds with a couple of real megas in there like the Rare Pink and Andalusian Bull. Highly recommend.

    https://foxcigar.com/shop/cigars/limited-release/cra-2021-sampler/

    In the CRA 2021 Sampler Pack you will receive the following cigars:

    La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull
    Tatuaje Pumpkin
    My Father 2021 Sampler Exclusive
    Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Happy Ending
    Padron Black No. 200 Maduro
    Brick House Classic No. 4
    Oliva Serie V Melanio Nub EL 460
    Alec Bradley Fine & Rare HJ10-I
    Ashton Symmetry Belicoso
    Rocky Patel ALR Second Edition Toro

    Just ordered the pack. Seems like a deal

    So now I am screwing my local guy and Lou. I'm a cigar whore

    I always try to get the CRA Sampler when it comes out. Chocked full of super hard to get high end sticks. It's awesome.

    Stopped by my local guy today to tide me over. Good guy. Gave me a free lighter

    USPS from Phoenix is almost as long as Lou's from Cuba via Switzerland

    Very good bang-for-the-buck, go-to cigar, IMO.

    I always keep a dozen or so on hand and re-order like a panicked crackhead when I drop below 10.

    Smoked a very nice Oliva last eve whilst drinking Cold Smoke - my favorite MT beer - and bantering about shitty Seattle politics with a buddy whom I'd given a Macanudo and a Romeo & Julietta to enjoy later.

    One second after handing him the R&J, I realized that was my last short & fatty in that ammo box and I almost grabbed it back, but my buddy was already sniffing it. (FUCK!).

    Fortunately I had several more in my other humidor at home, but the urge to re-order on a phone app was strong in the moment.

    I must register an upvote for the Oliva brand while I'm here. Another underrated cigar in the marketplace. Very smooth, burns very well, never gets too hot or acidic in my experience.

    Smoke, muthafuckas! Smoke!

    I got up today and checked the weather app. 11 degrees headed to a high of 28. FML. No smoke again. Too goddamn cold to enjoy it.

    I had an Olivia Connecticut Churchill last summer. Not great.

    But a Olivia Maduro Robusto to try today. Some of their stuff gets rated very high so we’ll see if I like this one.
