G5 with a SA Chocolate Bock while stargazing tonight, life is good.

I've been recently introduced to Talisker and must admit that it grew on me VERY fast. I tried the 10yr, hesitantly, when I was informed, at a bar, that they were out of Oban.

G5 Avenger with a glass of Talisker 10yr.

JdN Fuerte Serie B with about 4 fingers of Glenfiddich 15yr. I was drinking a 10yr Talisker earlier that was absolutely excellent.

Bought a box of Gurkha G5 today. A very nice maduro, earthy and peppery with a very smooth overall flavor, excellent appearance and easy draw/lighting.

JdN Fuerte. This smoke is growing on me, has much of the flavor of the antano and dc, but much milder and some other hints of flavor as well. Got a new every day lighter for $15, a lotus double torch with a punch built in. Not the best lighter by any means, but not bad at all for $15. Also...

I'm cuttin a Gurkha Triple Ligero right now.

Anyone try the Gurkha Spec Ops? I can get the cigars/humidor/knife set pretty cheap and the travel humidor seems like decent quality...

Armani Gray Collezioni suit with a Robert Graham french cuff dress shirt, Dunhill links and A. Testoni shoes. I've got a formal dinner...

JdN Fuerte. Bob, give a fuerte a try, they have a lot of the flavor without all the strength of the corojo. They're pretty cheap as well, I'll probably be grabbing another box or two.

Gurkha Symphony. Quite a nice smoke overall. Anyone try the 'make me an offer' feature on CI? How low does he typically go? I think I'm gonna go through that section next week and make a few hundred $$ worth of offers and see what happens. Hmmm, maybe one of those offers needs to be on...

Nub Cameroon. Not bad at all with a splash of Turi vodka.

It was excellent, strong, but excellent... This one has been sitting in my humidor for ~3 months with no real mellowing. I think you'd probably have to keep em buried in the back for quite some time to settle it down. A neighbor was out smoking with me and had to leave, just the smoke off of...

Heads up to anyone near a tuesday morning store: All of the ones near me have gotten a lot of pens in. Mostly 'Retro 51' brand, the one I bought is a decent pen and only $10, but there are some Parkers and the like...

JdN Dark Corojo with a Sam Adams while finishing some work, sitting on the porch. Gurkha isn't the best, but I grab them when I see them on sale. The gorge fest on CI has em for $3 each in 5 packs. I'm not sure I'd pay the $8-13 each, but at $3 it's hard to beat. I might have a Triple Ligero...
