    It's hands down one of my favorite cigars.

    The Original Mi Amor is outstanding. Enough so that I picked up a box...

    Was never a smoker, so never really got into Cigars except when I was younger and we would pick up a box of Green Churchill rejects for the holidays at the lake around the fire at Night!

    I'm also storing a box for my buddy:

    The question is, is it worth losing a life long friend over the disappearance of a box of cigars?

    Lol.

    Maybe I should just collect (smoke) "storage fees".

    Oh no got banned again. Any recommendations for not to get banned when I log in from outside the country. Even using a VPN with a server in San Francisco does not change the outcome. I still like to look around and read the posts when I am traveling.

    Got this one last night after dinner.

    Cheers

    Yea I quit cigarettes 7 years ago but still allow myself a cigar now and then. It's therapeutic in many ways to me. I'll drink to that!

    Sat on the back porch tonight talking audio with my dad.

    We each enjoyed one of the La Aroma De Cuba's I picked up recently.

    It was a good night.

    Cheers

    Just got through a 72 hour session of my entire cigar stash going into our chest freezer...

    I worked myself into a tizzy, for most likely no reason, that I could, maybe, potentially, have a cigar beetle issue if I don't freeze them.

    Since they have only been out for 24 hours, I decided on something small and cheap. I usually have these while working in the yard:

    These are just well constructed, smooth and tasty cigars.
