I've never kept any personally (keep trying to persuade the girlfriend!) but a close friend is heavily into his exotic animals. He has his dwa (I think that's what its called) and keeps all sorts of weird and wonderful things

Over the years we've had all sorts of reptiles, my son is highly allergic to most animals so 15 years ago when he was 9 or 10 he kept nagging for a pet. So we eventually settled on a leopard gecko, which is still alive and thriving, but along the way we've had numerous other lizards. But at the moment there's knot the original gecko, the pythons and a fish tank. All of which are my responsibility as he long ago lost interest in them.
am away from my notes so cant remember what exactly this is other than a Punch with c10 years age on it sourced by @RobustoClubHavana . Will add in the detail later...
Also a new little cutter from my recent birthday! I'm useless with recall today, but someone post with one regularly in their pictures on here and its been long admired by me!!!
This smoke was a beaut and had what was unmistakeably plume on the wrapper - crystaline white traces. I am touch cynical about plume but this was the only time I have seen something on a cigar that actually matched the descriptions exactly. A little tight at first, the tobacco under the cap seemed to have become too dry at some point in its lifetime, however a quick tidy up with the punch and it was producing a conservative amount of smoke. As the stick warmed up it got softer, springier and the draw opened a little.
Its band was loose given it had shrunken over the years. It produced a really gentle and mellow smoke in a steady light flow, which added a good bit of grip in the middle section. The last quarter gave a step up in the volume of smoke and with that came a richer rounder profile, where it had been subtle, gentle and steady going to that point. the smoke didnt massively alter in flavour notes, but as there was just more of it, the tasted upped to a richer profile. All the way through it there was a trail of sweetness within the smoke - really quite pleasant as it offered a counterpoint to what was a stick with pretty savoury selection of flavours throughout.
i look forward to trying another of these on a warmer day, sat in the sun with a decent glass of something!
Nice cigars, and great pictures, how do you insert them at that good size?
Next smoke of the day while looking for a house to rent, so I have time to get it ready before family arrives.

i edit them on a surface first and crop them as my phone seems to take pics in the 4/5mb range... And to post here they need to be under 2mb i think....

Started off with a '14 El Principle which was sweet although had a little bite then moved onto this LUB ABR14 Mag46. Wow smooth right to the nub!When I first got the box I wasn't overly impressed but again the goodness of time shows once again [emoji3]
This was My second cigar of the day
