EdipisReks1 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 Man, I wish I were somewhere that was cigar appropriate, weather wise. That looks like a nice one. Wearing the Aqua Terra on the bracelet now?
luvdunhill Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 The pre-aged program by Cuba has been hit or miss and generally not received well by cigar nerds. Unless you believe that new boxes can be cherry-picked and compare with boxes left to rest for a while, the program is a good idea. I think this cigar suffers a bit from the rampant under-filling of cigars coming out of Cuba.Once the weather gets better, I will send you some interesting stuff. There are rumors of a gathering in Texas at some point as well.Funny - I have been wearing this watch non stop for more than a year now. I really enjoy it. That and I am too poor to consider anything new at the moment, including the blue-faced Milgauss which would be my likely choice.
EdipisReks1 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Honestly, I prefer an under-fill to an over-fill. I would love that, thanks man! I'm not expecting to be buying anything new myself, anytime soon. There is something nice about having one watch that does it all, though. My GMT Master was that for me for a long time.

EdipisReks1 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I smoked a cigar last night, my first of the year, but it was nothing special, just an RP Vintage '99. It was nice, though.
EdipisReks1 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Just had an Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Natural. These weren't great when new, but after 10 years in my humidor, not bad at all. I'm obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel, I need to go shopping.
luvdunhill Posted April 9, 2017 Report Posted April 9, 2017 Sad this marca (brand) is down to only one regularly produced size...La Gloria Cubana MdO 4 1
luvdunhill Posted April 9, 2017 Report Posted April 9, 2017 Aim to please.There is a lot of crap still coming out of Cuba. The large ring gauge movement is here to stay and long-skinnies aren't being rolled due to needing longer leaf.This year was the first time in a while Cuba had a double growing season. Hopefully in 2019 we will start to see the fruits of those labors.

If that happens, maybe we can expect 2020 to be nearly as good, but cheaper, just like 2005 was for wine.

EdipisReks1 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 Arganese CL3. Very decent, after 9 years in my humidor. I got about three inches of ash, but that fell off while I was trying to take a pic, of course, so all I have is a pic after the first 15 minutes. 120 minute smoke. 2
EdipisReks1 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 In a minute, it will be some university flake in my Parker Bruyere 45. You might recognize that tamp, Marc.
EdipisReks1 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Posted April 27, 2017 Uppman vintage Cameroon. I used to really like these. it was fine. Stupid delicious Cubans.
luvdunhill Posted August 8, 2017 Report Posted August 8, 2017 2009 Partagas Lusitanias Against my better judgement in this humidity, but we will see how she burns
EdipisReks1 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Posted September 9, 2017 Not quite yet, but in a few minutes I'll be smoking some Peterson Old Dublin that has been aging for about a decade in my humidor (and boy does it smell good!) out of my Savinelli Autograph. I sure miss all those pipes that were stolen, but I guess I smoke a pipe infrequently enough that it's not a big deal, one way or another (I still have a very nice Parker and another Savinelli, from the 60s).
EdipisReks1 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I think this might be the first time I've really smoked the autograph (I think I've smoked a few partials). Man, it's a good smoker (cool, perfect draw, complex flavor, stays lit, dry to the bottom of the bowl), and this aged Old Dublin is very nice. Edited September 9, 2017 by EdipisReks1
