Tatuaje Cojonu 2012

OpusX

Thought I would enjoy this nice day with an old friend. The OpusX is just an awesome cigar and they only seem to get better as they mellow in the humidor. I am enjoying this with a pour of Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon. What a treat.

Bolivar Havana

Yesterday was my birthday and thought I would bring out a special smoke.   This cigar was purchased in the Caribbean ... it has been resting for 5 years.    It is super mellow and a real treat.  If you get the opportunity ... don't ever pass up one of these!

Ashton Connecticut

Just in the shop today enjoying a little company!

Ashton Heritage

Enjoying a cool breeze on the patio and a lovely cigar from Ashton.  

Carolina Cigar Company

While visiting Asheville NC...stopped in at this cigar company.   They have their own label ... same name.   Pretty tasty cigar.   I had a medium bodied smoke.  

Liga Privada T52

> This is an awesome cigar. Lots of flavor...leather, coffee and a nice sweetness you get with a great maduro wrap. This has made a good day better!

My Father

Just kicking back enjoying a wonder of a cigar on the beach in Destin Florida!  This is just about a picture perfect day!

Tatuaje Cojonu

Enjoying an awesome cigar by Mr.  Johnson ... this is a special release that came in one of the coolest boxes.  The box is a wooden book.   There are two different smokes inside.   2012 will be a great year!

Enjoying this one on the beach at Destin Florida!

Montecristo Habana

It has been too long since I posted.   I have been enjoying some cigars...and a new address down south.   We are calling Chattanooga, TN home now.   The weather is mild and we are really liking it here.

Tonight I am enjoying Montecristo that I purchased in St. Thomas in 2007 on a cruise.  It is a wonderful cigar with a light clean taste.   Almost has an almond flavor with hints of vanilla.  It is mellow and smooth.

If you ever make it to Cuba...this is one worth trying!

SAN Lotano HABANO

This is an awesome smoke. I like the taste of a habano wrap.  It has a dry, sweet peppery and nurture taste.  This is a nicely constructed cigar that has that aged leather look.  The tobacco is burning so evan in this cigar.  CA rated it an 89 and I am happy with this.  If you haven't tried Fernandez's cigars...you should. They are reasonable in price at $8 bucks a stick.

San Lotano Oval

Tonight I am enjoying a smoke by AJ Fernandez.  This is a massive cigar.  At least a 60 ringer.  The oval shape is a new one to me.  I do like the initial hints of spicy cedar and black pepper.   This is a good cigar to enjoy after a long day paired with a nice bourbon.

I have really enjoyed smokes by Fernandez in the past.  This has a sweetness and richness I like.  The draw is smooth and you get chimneys of smoke.   If you like 'em a little on the full side...this is right of a medium bodied smoke.  This is a monster worth attempting to wrestle!

WTF by The Outlaw

Enjoying a new smoke today.  The WTF by The Outlaw Cigar Company is a treat.  This is made by the guys that run the cigar store I frequent. While the name leaves something to be desired, it does have you asking it.

This has a tobacco that is flavorful with hints of spice, vanilla and almost a touch of rum.  It tastes really good and is not too powerful.  It has a sweetness to it.  It has an uneven burn and a super easy draw...almost smokes like a short leaf cigar.   Worth trying, especially at the end of a WTF kinda day!

Curly Maple Humidor

Here is a humidor that I made for myself. It is out if curly soft maple.  The curl is amazing on this box.

This box should hold around 100 smokes.  I have chosen to go with Xikar for humidification and monitoring. 

I dyed the maple a golden brown...almost a dark honey.  My favorite wood is Hawaiian koa ... but it is way too expensive for me.  This gives me the look if that wood with about a third of the cost.  The maple is gorgeous and will do a fantastic job of securing my cigars.

This was a fun project that I will be enjoying for some time.
