My least favorite time of the year arrived this week, Autumn. Summer flew by, I feel like I didn’t get to do many of the things I would have like to have done, for one reason or another, and now it’s another long, cold winter ahead to look forward too. One can only hope that these months pass as quickly as the summer did. Here I am, wishing my life away! Time really needs to slow the heck down. On the one hand, I have a humidor full of cigars and not enough time to smoke them, on the other hand, I have a humidor full of cigars!

Araposa and Providencia Speakeasy Cigars and Some Random Thoughts

Four of the Six Cigars from the CigarProp Sampler from Cigar Bundles of Miami
A couple months ago I placed an order with Cigar Bundles of Miami and one of the items I picked up was the CigarProp Sampler. Of course, one of the reasons I got this was to support Kevin of CigarProp, who has supported me for so many years. He’s a great friend and I get behind whatever ventures he’s involved in. I’ve had some great experiences with cigars from Cigar Bundles of Miami too.… Continue reading
