Sunday was a reasonably nice day for this time of year in this part of the US. I needed a nice, long walk, so I selected a Room 101 Namakubi Ecuador Chingon, a Salamon shaped cigar measuring a whopping 8″ x 60 ring gauge at it’s largest point. This is an enormous cigar for a winter day! I spent over two hours with this cigar, about half of that walking around the neighborhood with the dog, and it was a really nice smoke. I’ve smoked a few of it’s smaller siblings which I probably enjoy more, but if you have the time, this is a really tasty smoke. I have one more in the Ranfla size, which is only 5½ x 50, which I bought at an event last year on Matt Booth’s recommendation. This Chingon was a gift from a business associate, thanks Mike! In retrospect, I should probably have waited for a nice, sunny summer day in the pool for this one, but I was in the mood for a nice, long smoke, so this certainly fit the bill.
Until the next time,

I prefer most cigars in the 6/50 range but sometimes I too just feel like a long smoke. Aj has a few nice cigars I enjoy in the salomon size.
Agree with Patrick. I have been in the 5-6×50-60 range lately but have a few “big dogs” for those long summer BBQ sessions.
Thanks for the info on Hex day. Looks like I have to drive into Orlando to visit Nora’s but that’s ok. Unique little shop with a great independent owner. Got my first Opus X from a generous patron there. Looking forward to it.
Can’t get enough of the 101’s, I like just about everyone.
I like the 6×60’s and up lately. Think I’d like that Chingon if I can find one. Loving the Asylum Schizo right now.
Totally agree with you on the skull crusher, first one i had didn’t know how strong it was had the spins but I really enjoyed the flavors
Thanks Craig for giving me info on national hex day. I plan on checking that out. Thanks again for the blog. It’s fun to smoke vicariously through you specially now in the frozen tundra where you can’t go out much at all.
Darn – Missed that one! Trying to catch up with my emails while on vacation. Maybe J Scott purchased a couple we can share!!!???
