      @Dishelveled awesome.

      My BIL is getting stationed in Nicaragua as an army attache. I’m holding out hope that I can visit some cigar factories but we’ll see how far the political climate deteriorates.  😶

        Thanks, T! 
        You should absolutely make the trip if it's safe to do so, esp with a quasi local connection.  Super cheap airfare ($800 round trip 1st class in '14 – SEA to MIA to Managua) and your dollars go very far down there.
        Most of the cigar factories are located in the Northen mountain area (Esteli) which is accessed by a slow 2.5hr bus ride.  The Drew Estate's 'cigar safari' was very much worth the price of admission, but I wish I had finagled a Padron tour.

                  Dragging this thread from the ashes: Padron had long ago established their brilliance for me, but only recently have I caved to smoking 85% (rough approximation) of their tobaccos only. Kind of like IH being my main jam with a few worthy rando fly aways.
                  Anyone got any favorite Padron sticks?

                          This is my favorite cigar always.  Monte Cristo No. 2.  Never disappoints.

                            Awesome, RP! I've been encorporating more Cubans into my line-up recently and the Montecristo #4 stood out head and shoulders compared to its peers–great draw, copious smoke and awesome flavors! Seriously thinking about a box of them to age.

                              Went into a vape shop came out with a cigar. The draw is a little tighter than I like. Pretty good though.

                                  I went to the store looking for those Monte Cristo number 4s and the guy laughed because they are Cuban. So I got some cheap poser cigars instead.

                                  I got a couple others. I don't care for this one as much as the Fuente I had in Florida.

                                      Glorious east coast weather with CAO Italia. Tastes like barnyard butter, but in a good way. The smoke is all barnyard funk, but then the finish gives the impression you just ate unsalted butter. Unique and enjoyable. Perfect construction as always with CAO (Toraño).

                                            No Collins glasses here, so I'll settle for the Welder by Don McDonald. A double fit perfect. 😄



                                            I really owe you guys. I'm really enjoying the cigar and the Light and Stormy @Dishelveled and @tvenuto the fragrance of the tobacco and limes on my fingers is amazing. The drink is amazing too. I love mules so this is right up my alley. My only regret is you both can't be here with me. But I really appreciate you guys.

                                            Speaking of appreciation, my vintage milk glass cigar ashtray was given to me by Susan who sculpted the Roberto Clemente statue in front of PNC Park.  She used to be my next door neighbor when I was in my early 20s. I had the hots for her and would hang out with her whenever I could. She gave me all kinds of her stuff when she moved away.
