    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    Antica Riserva cut ammazzato from my treasure chest from last year's trip to Italy. Amazing smoke for the first warm evening of the spring. Now, to get some stuff done around the yard.

    Maintaining Vulcanite Stems in Canada and US!

    I use mineral oil after every smoke, once I've passed the pipe cleaner. Let it sit overnight or for a few hours and buff it off. Works great. Even if it doesn't have the carnuba & bees wax. Don't seem to really need them.

    Beautiful afternoon yesterday. Was able to slip in a Plaencia Reserva El Corojal. Great construction and even 🔥. A bit over two hours of smoking pleasure!

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    A beautiful lunch hour - smoked some Old Dark Fired in my Blatter before heading over to the library to pick up some reserved books. The ODF was a surprise - the flake was a bit dried out and boy - did that bring up the Kentucky! Not the usual bbq taste I was used to, but a nice smoke...

    Hello from Maine

    Glad it went well, but I agree, it wouldn't be my first choice of a place to visit!
