With the day off I have some things to do, one unfortunate task is to say goodby to a friend of over 30-years. Jack was the former Scoutmaster of Troop 349, a WWII vet who served with honor in Europe in the signal corps stringing telephone wire from Normandy to Berlin. RIP my friend.
A Sungrown Chateau Fuente in his memory this morning.

"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points." -Don Pepin Garcia
My condolences Doc and wish the family well through this tough time. It is a great cigar to say good bye to in his honor. I am sure he will be missed by many and wish more people had the chance to know someone as great as him.

My daughter Brittany turns 21 today.
I just finished up sanding and sealing a hardwood floor at Ramsay Canyon.
Before I begin housework, I'm going to rest up so I can relax later. I'll hang out with the dogs, and have a Rocky Patel Puro Cubano Torpedo. A decent cigar for the price.
Right now, I need to go outside on my patio, relax, listen to some music or read a book AND smoke a great, not a good cigar. So, I'm opening up the humi and taking out a Partagas Lusitania. These are from 6/07 and they are incredible. See you guys in about 2 hours.
Doc...sorry for the loss of your good friend, I'll enjoy the Lusi in his honor as well !!
