This poor guy had a patch missing near the head, decided to smoke it. Had to patch it with the wrapper from the cut and spit. Also had to patch a decent crack with my finger until the burn caught up. This thing was freaking tasty, evan without resting. Glad they made it safely for the most part. Also good you could salvage that one cigar and got to enjoy it.

It has taken a little while to put this on here....been pretty busy with work while here in Hawaii.
I met up with Palama/ Conan at the Row Bar for a Drew Estate Event. We had a great time herding and telling stories. We exchanged a few cigars and he hit me up with my PIB.
Here are the damages:
AF 8-5-8 Maddy from 2014
AF 8-5-8 Sungrown from 2013 (oh yeah)
Tat Nuevitas Jibaro #2
Bolivar Royal Corona cc 2017
H. Upmann Half Corona cc 2013
A great hit....but then he threw in some hitchhikers.
Tat Nuevitas Estelli
Aladino Elegante
Robusto
Robusto Corojo Reserve
And a MF lancero from 2013
Conan, as usual a great hit, great fun, and a great BOTL. Until next time,
Mahalo,
David |

Apologies for the delay. Jet lag is apparently a real thing. So, met up with Conan at the Row Bar this past week for a smoke and a couple beers; an excellent time to end an excellent vacation. Restraint must be a foreign concept to him as he he proceeded to rain gifts down upon me. There was a variety of snacks to keep me fed through the journey home and beyond. Had some pretzel crisps, a variety of macadamia nuts and some Hawaiian fruit drink mixes. My loot got mixed up with my souvenir purchases so can only beg forgiveness for any items I've forgotten.
And then there were the cigars. Just your basic "5er":
Camacho Corojo Nacional '06 nh
Tat Broadleaf 7th Reserva '13 nh
AF Hemingway Signature Cameroon '13 nh this vitola
AF Hemingway Signature Maduro '14 nh this vitola
AF Hemingway Signature Sungrown '15 nh
AF Magnum R44 '14 nh
AF Anejo #46 '14 nh
AF Anejo #48 '16 nh
HVC Edicion Especial '18 - had and enjoy. Now, what is this? Sorry, I'm now spoiled and only accept cigars aged for 3+ yrs. jk ;)
JRE Aladino Cazadore '19 x2 nh
Casa Cuba Flor Fina toro nh
Conan, thanks seem woefully insufficient here, but I thank you. There are many hours of enjoyment I'm looking forward to.
Now, who wants to pick up Marcus? I will if no one else does, but almost killed the thread last time I was up. |

It is, definitely. Blows my mind though you can smoke in the middle of a business center when the rest of the island is pretty restrictive. |

Now, who wants to pick up Marcus? I will if no one else does, but almost killed the thread last time I was up. You're more than welcome! Had a great time herfing and talking story. Next time tell your wife to come along! Those Chinese pretzels are addicting. I would definitely send those out instead of One-Ton Chips but they break too easily and they'd be a bunch of broken pieces by the time they reached their destination. Note, the JREs are slightly different. One is the "regular" one, the Reserva is said to be stronger. The Casa Cuba is a Divine Inspiration from 2016 and is, imho, starting to peak. I would recommend smoking it sooner rather than later. Same with the R44. |

There are a couple bars that “let you smoke”. They say it is non smoking but will give you an ashtray. Irish Rose is one. |

A few years ago when I met Bur, we herfed at Kelley O'Neil's and asked for an ashtray. The waitress then told us that it's against the law to smoke inside the bar, that we could be fined for doing so and then handed us the ashtray. Lucky we were deep inside, tucked away in a corner so if the Smoke Police came in, hopefully we would have enough warning and time to put down the cigars and do our best "No, those aren't our cigars. We just got these seats."  |
