Happy Fuente Friday boys. Anejo 55

It was wonderful Mike.
The cap was pretty normal just the angle of the photo I guess.

Did red velvet have anything to do with the taste? If so, I’ll take a box

You should see one in a little while.

I read that drive ins were coming back. All because of social distancing. Good luck!


this damn cigar is a TIGHT one! Like sucking a think milkshake. Pretty good bu may be rolled to tight for my liking. This is one that would benefit from that cigar reamer tool.

I see you punched that one. I like punches as well, but if it's drawing too tight try recutting with a straight cut or a V cut. I find a deeper cut often cures a bad draw about half of the time I get a bad draw.

2 buddies stopped by to borrow some tooling. (We kept social distance). Ended up enjoying 1@Cuban Montecristo Edmundo, 1@Punch Elite, 2@Cuban R&J Belvederes, 2@Cohiba cigarillos, multiple beers, a bottle of Burmester 10yr Port, and a bottle of 12yr Glenfiddich. The wife didn’t say anything. I’m still trying to figure out what I did right.

Lol, any chance the wife called your buddies to get you out of her hair for a bit? LOL. Sounds like an epic session.

Yep, if a Colibre V Cut can’t fix it, it’s bad.

I re-cut it with a straight cut. Still the same draw.

You can try setting it aside for a couple hours.. letting it loose some moisture can help a lot.

This afternoon an Eiroa 5X50. Lit with a single flame butane insert in a “Marilyn” Zippo, resting on an old glass ashtray

He obviously didn't. No safety pin. No sign of stuffing it into a pipe to finish. Lack of commitment.

Today it’s a La Flor Dominicana, capitulo II.

Some days you’ve got to have more than one. A smaller cigar deserves a smaller ashtray.
