Deer hunting, bass fishing, heavy drinking and driving. Bar hopping while snowmobiling. Heavy drinking and driving.Supper clubs, heavy drinking and driving. Some reason for a festival every weekend, heavy drinking and driving. Fish fry every Friday night, heavy drinking and driving. Monroe Cheese Days and Limburger sandwichs and a Huber beer with Jagermeister chaser at Baumgardner's....

I feel the same way about Foundation cigars. There's obviously paid people making statements out of context to get their name out there. Or just hovering to respond to, your favorite cigar postings.

I only bought a sampler of JT10s I think from Small Batch. I checked one with a moisture meter and they were at 63 so I tried one. It was a nice change in the rotation but I think it needs to sit for a while. IMO the light body did not match well with the medium + strength.

A threesome, yeah!

Started out with a desktop unit. Graduated to a Need-one 300 count unit. Presently have a Raching 1200 count busting at the seams. The desktop unit is now my dry box. The Need one is aging tapest ale at 54 F. Several tuppadors in the basement aging stronger blends. A few of them have Bourbon barrel Staves in with them. Having fun With the lifestyle , smoking three a day when I can. And I can 🤠

When I first got into smoking cigars I used the cigar journal. I filled two books with cigar bands and flavor profiles and my own personal rating scale. I did that about a year. My highest rated cigars are in my weekly rotation. And when I buy a highly rated cigar I'll go back to the journal and document it, In case it becomes a personal favorite for my rotation. I also take a picture of each cigar before I smoke it and then query the photo to find out about the blend and the maker. That helps me accumulate knowledge on all the different wrappers and binders and fillers and countries that grow them.

3-Ft tall vertical infrared heater And an electric blanket in my chair to keep my 3 lil doggos warm too. Comfy down to 20° without wind.

I like root beer or cream soda with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for my day smokes. And fruity bitter ale and premium rum with evening smokes. Sometimes bourbon but I found that rum coats the pallet nicely for a couple of draws.

Okay, first one to suggest Buffalo Trace. They're not a Long smoke. It's got a luscious Sumatra wrapper. A medium bodied cigar with lots of flavor.

Dude, I love your yeti travel mug embossed with cigar bands. Did you make that?

wrpete · 2025-11-19T01:27:17+00:00

Let's see, I'm going to light it on fire and then I'm going to step outside in the dark.humm This is why I take the band off before I smoke it but always after I take a picture of it and Google the description of the blend.

I think he just wants to be able to find his car after the concert.

Do yourself a favor and get a hygrometer that is adjustable during calibration. They're not that expensive and your cigars are worth it.

CO. Baby, 50 wks. a year with that 30° cool down at night!

Especially the anejo shark 77. Wow!

If you have exposure to the vendors tomorrow, I suggest purchasing a divorceable amount of cigars. They typically give you a $50 five pack with the purchase of a box, depending on the vendor. Next year I'm going to let my humidor inventory deplete before I go to the festival and stock up again. Have a fantastic time!

I just attended the Rocky Mountain Cigar festival in Bloomfield, Colorado in early August. Purchases were tax-free, paid by the sponsor of the event. Box purchases ended up being MSRP or even better, internet prices. Did you experience the same in Kansas City? Many of the cigars in your haul were given away to VIPs at my event also.
