@Not_That_JB Is that the new one?

I tried to have a Unicorn tonight but the cold draw tasted like lacquer. The inside of the coffin smells strongly of lacquer. I’ve placed it in one of the humidors, out of the coffin and away from other cigars; I’ll revisit it in a month.

So started smoking at 2:45 pm and finished at 10:35.

Today was a good day

Lunchtime with Fuente on Fuente Friday.

Knuckle Sandwich and OBSF. The April Fool’s didn’t happen so I got this cigar for the nightcap.

Gispert Intenso with some Four Roses OBSF. Saving my self a little bit as I am having an April Fool’s/Year of the Snake tomorrow.

@TheDaveMags Do or do not. And you’re doing.

@RongLua03 Thank you brother trying my best

As Brother Matt would, a selfie was a must. Thank you again my brother. Happy Kentucky Derby Day.

@TheDaveMags You’re welcome.

@RongLua03 Matched up perfectly my brother! Thank you as always!!!

A good day for Races and Games 7s. Happy Kentucky Derby Day to those who celebrate. Settling into this Big Ticket Saturday 🏇🐎☘️☘️☘️ with an Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich The Chef Special gifted to me by brother @RongLua03 and a Mint Julep with Woodford Reserve. #KentuckyDerby

Seems when you block one scammer the others don’t see you. Now the algorithm will prove me wrong

Fuente Friday. Enjoy

@rebelchefjay2 Awesome

I was lucky enough to sit and have an impromptu one on one lunch with the legend Hector Alphonso Sr, master blender, and he gave me all the newest Espinosa, 601, and Knucklehead cigars he blended. Such an epic experience!

@rebelchefjay2 @DarinMabry You’re welcome.

@RongLua03 @DarinMabry Thank you brother 💯🙏

Finally gonna enjoy one. CRAFT 2026 up next and to say I been waiting months is not an understatement 👊 💨

@rebelchefjay2 @DarinMabry Of course you made a fine cigar.

@RongLua03 @DarinMabry Completely!

@rebelchefjay2 @DarinMabry That’s the thing. Most people don’t have a knack for creating tasty cigars but think they do by what they buy/smoke. But everyone has different palettes.

@DarinMabry And did it meet your expectations? I can say here at the PCA there are so many brands I haven't heard .. and with all the ones I smoked, quite a few I still wish I didn't 😂

@TheDaveMags Looking good, brother.

And as brother @RongLua03 does, it’s only fitting to share a cigar selfie smoking this one gifted by him.

Enjoying a gift from a friend. Holy Cow. Heavy on the dark chocolate notes. So good.

Last Rites. Black Label. With an Old Fashioned. Goodnight everyone.
