weather is a bit mild today, and not raining, so picked this one out after reviewing my collection and organising a bit

I was going to celebrate the end of the year with the cigar of the year which coincidentally is my all time favourite; the Reserva d'Chateau, but when I dug into my Opus humidor I discovered this unwrapped double corona had a light dusting of mould on the cap so I dusted it off and smoked this instead.

What’s the saying, out with the mould & in with the new? Wishing you a happy new year when it comes.

I punched this 2020 PL Galanes but the draw seemed too tight so it went in to a spare HdM Epi 2 tubo for a few months. Couple of V cuts and it’s been superb tonight. Happy New Year! IMG_6603.jpg

My one and only cigar these holidays as a stinking cold kept me away. But a rather nice 2013 custom roll broke me in gently. Happy New 2024 everyone

I managed 2 smokes today, first, my first LGC ER Especiales, picked up on my last trip to Belgie. Paired with a wee coffee & then a glass of bubbly. Very tasty cigar & anyone who enjoys this marca & skinny formats, will love this. Really hope my sources manage to acquire a box or two for me. It seems they are really controlling the release, by drip feeding them to the shops.

Secondly, waiting for daughter & BF to arrive, a Cohiba Robusto 2015, with 2017 late bottled port. This was still a full flav smoke, with a decent kick.

After dinner, where my wife produced a Beef Wellington, which I paired with a very splendid claret from 2007.
