We had a really low key Thanksgiving. We didn’t have a big meal, just the immediate family hanging out around the house. We actually ordered sandwiches from Wawa for dinner! It was much more relaxing than the stress of preparing a big meal and cleaning it all up in all honesty! I, like many days, treated myself to some great cigars. I realized that I haven’t written anything about the Sobremesa Brulee Blue yet, so I figured it was about time.
This is a 6 ¼” x 46 lonsdale cigar with a pigtail cap. I used a cutter because I’ve evolved to use tools, I’m not an animal. Also, even though Saka sent me this cigar, it’s a $15 cigar and I’m not risking screwing it up by manhandling it.… Continue reading

News: J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Reintroduces Perla Del Mar
I’m pretty excited about this news. I really like the Perla Del Mar Maduro, and I look forward to trying the new Corojo. They are reasonably priced and well made and taste good. Always a good combination! I do have to say that I really like the old bands over these new ones. I think they remind me too much of another brand, and look too bundle-like. The old brands were elegant and classy! What do I know?

News: The Fratello Humidor Announced by Fratello Cigars
I recently heard an interview with Omar of Fratello where he said that he had some help from one of his NASA engineer friend in the design of this humidor. The cigars look pretty awesome too. I smoked a Fratello Classico toro (the 6″ x 50 from a Space Fresh Pack) tonight and it was quite tasty, it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a full size Classico, I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed the blend. That little bit of Peruvian tobacco he uses is distinctive.

Tabernacle Goliath and a Mi Querida Triqui Traca Cigars
Let me start out by bitching a little about the USPS messing with my plans for this post a little. I had ordered some of the new Triqui Traca sizes because I was unable to find them locally, and they were supposed to have been delivered yesterday and they weren’t. How USPS manages to goof up Priority Mail that ships Tuesday and is scheduled to be delivered Saturday (already a stretch), is beyond me. A few weeks ago I sent a box to Washington state on a Saturday and it was delivered on Monday. Sure, it cost me more than $8, but c’mon. And I recently cashed in some rewards points for an Amazon gift card and they are mailing it….what sense does that make? OK, now I’m just bitching about stuff for for the sake of bitching…forget about that last part. Point is, I had to switch up my whole plan for this post at the last minute. Fortunately, it’s not hard for me to convince myself to smoke a great cigar, so I made other plans.… Continue reading
