I started this fine day with a Hemingway Short Story and some KONA.

More later during the Daytona 500.

I'll post on the REAL Sunday Smoke thread...

Had a Monte Afrique Kilimanjaro and black coffee at Big Nose Kate's Saloon.

More later...

Hey Doc, Kona is a type of coffee right? Is it strong? I've seen it mentioned on this forum and on the web quite a bit. I think I need to try it. Do you have a brand recommendation?

Today I think i'll try a Cuesta Rey Sun Grown.

Today's smoke is a DPG Blue Label Invictos. It is certainly a powerhouse and is a nice change of pace from what I've been smoking lately. I'm smoking it now while listening to NPR Fresh Air.

I usually order on-line ( www.konacoffee.com ).

This is a good mild to medium very rich coffee. I buy the Dark Roast Peaberry and we brew it up on Sunday mornings and when I am off during the week.

I can drink a 12 cup pot by myself.

I drink my coffee black with no additives. That way I can taste the coffee and not sugar or other flavors.

I find that coffee goes very well with a mild to medium cigar such as a Sungrown Chateau Fuente.

I also enjoy Espresso (I drink Illy) with a more powerful smoke like an Ashton VSG.

Doc if you really like the Kona peaberry, try the Kauai peaberry (dark roast). A lot of people in the isles are liking it as well if not a little better.

Thanks for the info Doc. I'm going to have a look at the website and perhaps make a purchase. Thanks again. Regards

I love this day! It is always the day for my dad and I to indulge in the simple pleasures of life.... homeade pizzas, the race and smokes.

Having a la fleur dominicana and liberty ale while I wait for his flight to touch down. What great combo... maybe Mickey D's should revise it's value men?!

Tonight gonna have to go with a LGC glorias extra I found in the humidor. After gino's post got me in the mood.

no cigar yet.doc, i've noticed you mostly smoke opus x or don carlos,,,and i cant remember you posting a habanos for your cigar of the day/night..do you like habanos?and what habanos do you enjoy?

AF short story and coffee this evening.

Don Pepin - Imperiales, My first smoke for this Brand.

Sure I like Habanos, I have some Monte #2's and PSD4's as well as a Cubador full of illicit smokes.

This afternoon while watching NASCAR I was smoking a Montecristo White

A Cuaba Generoso with a glass of Taylor Fladgate Vintage Porto.

Thought I would mix it up a bit today and try one I started out with awhile back as a noob. 5 Vegas Robusto and some Buddy Guy tunes. Seems like my tastes have changed, looks like I gota fire up another selection from the humidor later this tonight.

Another 4-cigar day today: started out with the same two as yesterday---a Victor Sinclair Primeros Aero #1 and a Punch Rare Corojo (2005) Rothschild, then I had a Padilla Habano Robusto, and tonight a Camacho El-Legendario Torpedo. I knew from the pre-light draw that the El-Legendario was not going to be as good as I'd hoped because the draw seemed way too loose, and I was right.

Well it's 19 degrees F here in Buffalo so after a big lunch I sat in my car with a Macanudo court, a small cup of Felipe Segundo brandy, cranked the heat and put the Beuna Vista Social club in the cd player. Relaxed and just enjoyed the taste, smell and sound.

Had a Sancho Panza, a petit corona I think. Very spicy and enjoyable. I selected it because of its size (I don't remember how I got it; may have been a present), since I was smoking in the garage and needed it to be quick because of the cold.
