One of my lovely NC Stubs, they are med / full smoke. A real relaxer at the end of the day.

Ol blue boy is still on his travels.......

Great picture, Paul!

This evening (and yesterday evening) I enjoyed a Petit Edmundo during my marking job. I can light up for the last half of my current near-three hour daily chore.

I'm loving the taste and smell, as ever, and I'm finding smoking a good Havana heightens my concentration no end.

It's definitely motivating me to get my quota done.

A Cohiba Siglo IV, smoked while doing the walk with a journalist while sitting outside Franco's in Jermyn Street with some really great company.

I have to be honest, I have steered clear of Cohiba for a while because the last time I smoked one in was way too strong.

But what a revelation. It was like my first kiss! Absolutely wonderful, I held onto it after it went out and I really didn't want to put it down.

That sexy tube with the wonderful gold band, I am a sucker for great packaging.

This is my dessert island cigar, I think I want to marry it and have it's children.

I have read about tight draw issues, but reading around, it seems if you clip down about 10mm, hey presto

Perhaps a stupid question, but which end?

I sat in the porch and enjoyed a Bolivar RC about an hour ago. I'm not usually a midweek smoker but I was really in the mood for one tonight. I tried using a punch but it seemed to affect the draw, so I'll be sticking with the Palio from now on.

Ah ha. Actually I clipped it both ends, yes. But in terms of the draw, the bottom end Dave.

I had a montie no2 this morning. All I can say is what a cracking smoke! It was full bodied but had lots going on. It went really well with my milky coffee!
But I gotta warn ya its a YORKIE.
