Smoked todays cigar, an Illusione 88, at about 2am this morning while watching people loose tons on money on the boat, Argosy Casino in Indiana. I only play the horses but I went down with some friends and family and we all had a good time. Gonna watch the rece, GO JR, and take a nap a bit later. Hope everyone enjoys their cigars.
Took a couple days off from cigars, but it's a fairly decent day here, for now. Trying a Cu-Avana Maduro robusto. A light, Dominican smoke from Manuel Quesada. I wasn't impressed at all with the first one I tried a couple weeks ago, but chalked it up to time & place. This one is much better. A decent, value-priced smoke ($3-ish)for kicking around outside.
Started the day with an IT Cameroon Legend while preparing the lawn mower for up coming use next weekend. Probably have an RP 1990 later this afternoon.

"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

This evening I have another Arganese cigar. This one, a Maduro President Robusto is quite tasty with overtones of leather and spice. Strong enough to allow me to enjoy the flavor of the smoke, yet mild enough to allow me to blow smoke through my nose to fully appreciate the flavor of the cigar.
Thank you Gene Arganese for allowing me to try these cigars.

Hey Doc, how did you come about getting the trial samples from Gene? Or have you been sworn to secrecy?

Those of you who live in the tropics will not appreciate the following, but my fellow northeners will: I HAD MY FIRST CIGAR ON THE DECK TODAY! Hooray--the "season" has officially begun.
