54 today. Started off 6:30 this morning with Carlos Torano 1916 cammie and fresh roasted Costa Rica Cafetalera Herbazu coffee. One of my favorite before breakfast smokes. Breakfast, time with the wife, church, lunch and just finished a Tat Anarchy gifted to me from Joe (F16devils) at C-Fest. Wow, what a great smoke.

Gabbing a Fuente Anejo #48 (gifted by Raspol or Kimon - ya both gave me one or more, thanks) and heading out to the air conditioned smoke room to watch this afternoon's Phillies game that I recorded.

More to follow.....

Happy Birthday, DP. So I'll ask -- what is the air conditioned smoke room? Is that the RV?

Thanks, everyone. Should have smoked the Anejo before the Anarchy. Smooth, but mild/medium with subtle flavors. From what I read, I thought these where suppose to be full body. At least 2 more super premiums up for this evening, out of about 20 choices.

No Jim, I don't smoke in the RV, only outside under the canopy of shade trees. My site is 10 - 15 degrees cooler then most of the other parts of the campground. I'm stuck in Jersey for my BD, but heading down to NC mid week.

Last winter I built a cheap "temporary" smoke room under the patio cover on my back porch. 10' x 6'. Framed with 2x3 covered in R4 foam insulation to act as a wind break. Added a fan up high for ventilation, and put my 55k BTU high hat heater in there with a small flat screen TV. Comfortable retreat even when temps where in the 20s. I was going to take it apart for the summer, but instead, grabbed a $99 A/C unit at Sams, framed an opening, cut the foam and slide it in. Nice and comfy on these 90+ degree days.

I would be de-balled if I tried that. And she is away for 3 weeks. Still, I dutifully smoke on the hammock in the heat with the sliding door closed. Rules are (apparently) rules.
