I am now enjoying the 8-5-8 Maduro with all it's complexities. That was my big word for the day. Tar heel what do you do that keeps you up at this hour.

Thanks for the herf. Enjoyed an Onyx Reserve and scotch on the rocks. Let's do it again on New Year's Eve??

I enjoyed a Camacho Corojo 11/18 last night while reading a strange novel called THE MINOTAUR TAKES A CIGARETTE BREAK. I blew some smoke into the wind's four quarters in honor of my c-bid colleagues.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and that the coming year will be kind to you. I hope to get to know some of you better.

In my finest iconoclastic tradition, I'm off to see "The Lord Of The Rings" today. After that, I plan to enjoy a PAN Corona Gorda, a HdM Seleccion royale Senador, and an Ashton VSG Illusion.

BAH, HUMBUG!!!

CAO petit maduro. I have a Perdomo2 lined up for later.

I went to the Local Tender Box and purchaced an Opus X for my Christmas Celebration. Signed it from Santa and gave it to myself. I'm pretty much a newbie cigar smoker, and Opus X is very full Bodied. It was darn cold outside with the snow piled around my deck, but it was very enjoyable.
