Perdomo Fresco Maduro while paging through the latest Cigar Aficionado. I like to stay in touch with all my Jet Set buddies...
Did you notice anything a little "odd" about Costner's cigar on the cover?
No...but you can bet that I'm going to be scrutinizing it as soon as I get home!

Just had the IPA a few weeks ago when I was in AZ (the only place I found it here was in North Beach). I have to say it was good, very good stuff.
I can't wait till I can try the rest of the line... Thanks for making me jealous Rick.

No smarmy comments now.
Served it with some home made sauerkraut from a neighbor. I've got to get a recipe for that.

Baked salmon with a sauce made from pan drippings, butter, olive oil, lemon juice and fino sherry. Not bad, if I do say so myself...
Today was a great day for me in terms of "Speakeasiness." Tonight after work I fired up the first of five out of my Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robustos. Oh sweet mamma jamma! This cigar was a work of art. Got a great start to it with my new Palio cutter, which arrived today, toasted the foot beautifully with my $3.00 Ronson JetLite, and proceeded to enjoy the thick, creamy smoke for a very relaxing hour.
I use the Fresco Maduro as my benchmark, since I'm so familiar with them, and the Lot 23 in comparison was rich, smooth, creamy, earthy, nutty, and slightly cocoa-ish. A true pleasure to burn.

Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney & Dwight Yoakam on my media player while I surf a little.
In the city, those two drinks alone would have set you back about forty bucks, plus tip.
By the way- Mallard is a duck. Mullard is a tube.
Come on it was only $38

To ease the pain of husking sweet corn for dinner tonight, I grabbed the lone Fonseca 5-50 out of the humidor. I was given this cigar by Matt and I believe it was this one that he made the comment on. Something like "The first inch is good, but then it turns to 
."
Well, just like he said, the first inch was really quite pleasant. Mild, nutty, toasty. The burn was razor sharp and straight as an arrow. Approaching inch number two and subsequent inches, this cigar remained quite enjoyable. I don't know that I was seek them out and buy more, but in the face of adversityrolleyes, it did not dissapoint. I paired it with a glass of ice water that quickly became warm water in this Wisconsin heat.
Post cigar, I just opened a bottle of New Glarus Spotted Cow ale that was hiding on the bottom shelf of my fridge. Wow! With the lingering hint of the cigar, this beer is phenomenal!
On the Dinner front, it will be grilled chicken and fresh sweet corn. I can't wait.

After dinner last night I fired up a Casa Toraño Maduro. Very nice cigar with flawless construction and burn. Recommended.
No mail yet? Damn. I sent you a package a week ago.
Taken directly from my post in the Acquisitions thread:
When I got home from work on Saturday, it was like Christmas in July. Waiting for me in the mailbox were the following:That in and of itself was a pretty sweet haul after a week of work, but not ten minutes later I get a buzz on the intercom. Turns out that a woman down the hall received 2 other packages for me that wouldn't fit into the mailbox! My shipment from the B&B Cheese Department arrived (Thanks Jay!), which contained a tin of Hamburger Beermaster pipe tobacco, as well as my 5-pack of 5 Vegas Serie 'A' Archetypes (Toro).
- My new Palio cigar cutter
- A free Montecristo Classic from Altadis USA
- 2 movies from Netflix
Say, Jay...did you superglue the lid on that tin? I can't for the life of me get it open!
