I had a 3 day work week, having Monday off, of course, then taking Thursday off to go to an afternoon Phillies game. We got to go on the field after the game(with about 10,000 other fans!) and walk the bases, which I did with an unlit cigar in my mouth! I don’t know how they could say anything, I mean the owner of the Phillies is John Middleton, who sold his tobacco company to Altria (Phillip Morris). who can forget the Middletons Cherry Blend pipe tobacco cigars?… Continue reading
I had a little different idea about how this week’s smoking was going to go.

I smoked one of the new size of the Cohiba Serie M this week, which they are calling a Corona Gorda. It’s actually 6½” x 48, so I don’t know what else one would call it, but I do like the size.… Continue reading
As I’m getting ready to fly home I’m reflecting on the last few days at the TPE show. This was my first major event in two years, mostly pandemic related, but there were also some personal concerns. At the risk of appearing less than humble, I had forgotten how many people I knew in the cigar industry. It was great reconnecting with so many old friends, and making a bunch of new ones!… Continue reading
