I had a little different idea about how this week’s smoking was going to go. I got one each of the Connoisseur Club Over-Runs from TrashPanda, which are on sale for a ridiculously low price, by the way. These came with the caveat that they needed to be dryboxwd, as they had been sealed in the humidibags for several years. I opened them out and left them on the desk for a week (I think the house has been around 52% RH this week) thinking they would dry down sufficiently.… Continue reading

Cohiba Serie M, ATL Black and All Saints Cigars
Another exciting week! I rather expected an avalanche of press releases from Drew Estate after the event Thursday. I expect a bunch in the coming week. Of course, I smoked a bunch of cigars this week. One of my favorites was a La Sirena Trident, which I think is one of the best cigars out of the La Zona factory.

A Padron Damaso at Diner en Blanc and a Couple of New All Saints Cigars
Thursday evening my wife and I attended the Philadelphia Diner En Blanc, which is a large, organized pop-up picnic of sorts. This is something that happens in cities all over the world where everyone has to wear white, bring their own tables and chairs and a picnic dinner, and meet at pre-arranged spots in the city where they guide the groups to a “secret” location. It’s usually a
historic landmark, one year it was Philadelphia’s Boathouse Row, City Hall, and the Art Museum steps (think “Rocky”). We’ve been doing it for the last several years and it’s a hoot, and, of course, I work cigars into it and I try to make appropriate choices.… Continue reading
