Yesterday was a smoking kinda day here in AZ. Wet and cool.

started off the day with a diamond crown Figardo 6x64. When I say that this is a mild smooth cigar I mean if my eyes were closed I would be hard pressed to say if it were lit! easily over powered by a strong cup of coffee, yet it is a very refined cigar. The flavors are there, but subtle. Lightly sweet and creamy. perfect construction and burn. Not a stick I would normaly smoke, but all in all a good smoke. Would I buy it? no, if i am spending $20 of my hard earned money I am buying somthing in my wheel house. That said it was a good smoke. I am sure alot of people out there would love that stick.

After lunch I had a comacho corojo robusto. May not be big, but it is big in flavor! damn I had forgotton how good corojo can be.... spice leather sweetness and rocket fuel! definately complex and strong, but not overwhelming. A good companion stick.

I smoked a bowel of tastemaster while closing the shop and a part of a bowel of captain cool while cleaning. Then we headed on over to our scottsdale location for our holiday party. Lots of food from Bucca di Beppo, beer and wine...After dinner the boss handed us each a Padron 1964 principe to enjoy. I decided to get the Maduro princip and what a great choice it was. Tons of flavor. Dark coco and fig play off earthy undertones. great ending to a pretty good day!

Oh and we just found out we are having another baby! sooooo time to plan what stick to give out on the big day

Never smoke because you have to...smoke because you love to.... enjoy gentlemen
