Bored is right, I'm sitting in my apartment while some guys put a wall up to make a bedroom. I would love to go out and have a smoke but it's too damn windy in the city today.
Here in GA, we have gone from the 70s to the 40s in a matter of a few days, temperature-wise, but today it is sunny...
...And in more way than one; as a Michigan man, I've already set aside a 2004 Sancho Panza Sanchos for later today. An "A" size CC is in order as I look forward to Michigan football entering the 21st century.

working from home today and going to have a Padilla 68 robusto after lunch. I don't know about the recent 93 rating, but these are damn good.

I just got off the phone with my tobacconist. I am going to receive a box of Hemingway Classic Maddies, a box of Don Carlos Doble Robusto, a box of Sungrown Chateau Fuente and a fiver of La Aurora 100 ano Churchill and another 5-er of Oliva Something or other that is supposed to have received a 94 rating.
I am so good to me.
Afternoon smoke is a RASS

Stuck in the house with a nasty chest cold. If I were to smoke today, I would be at the Tinderbox with James smoking an Oliva V lancero. Hopefully tomorrow.
Oliva Special S. Nothing bad to say about this cigar, except I like bigger sizes than petite coronas!

Nice haul there Doc! I received Christmas presents from me today too. My Por Larranaga Magnificos arrived this morning, just a couple of them, though I'll probably be sorry I didn't get more. They look great but a little fresh off the boat. Partagas 898 from me tonight.

On the way home from work I had a Oliva Series O Robusto which was great. Great smoke for the drive home. I put the it in one of my old tubes that I have saved and brought it into the office with me. After work it had a great burn and smoked great. Thanks for all the "smoking in the car" ideas.

Well, since I got an early Christmas present and with the temperature being a nice 20* with snow on the ground, I took a chance and smoked one of the "freebies" that came along with my other cigars.
The dog and I went for a walk...she enjoyed the snow and I enjoyed a TinderBox LaReserva No. 3 Maduro. Not too bad for a house brand...I've had worse that "cost" more...
