Nubbing a HdM Epi Especial as the sun sets on the homestead

Love it, I suspect there’s more than a few of us out there in the US that enjoy getting to see “the process” of it all front and center every 4 years. I’ve got my cigar line up for the day at the ready!

A stunning arrival of deliveries, and a whole array with which to have one of each ROTT while watching the election results, the others will have a rest first

Excellent delivery of winter-sized smokes, some of the gloriously darkest siglo I’s I’ve ever gotten

After using the My Precious Review Weekend as an excuse, I fired up my Leyenda

Seriously, can’t wait to see what the few I have will evolve into over time!

Always looking for an excuse to sample my small collection of “special occasion” cigars! Cold draw: effortless, but not too loose either, I could smell the cocoa & a floral note on the foot pre-light. I paired this with coffee & heavy whipping cream, and a glass of Ron Zacapa 23. After carefully toasting, I get an immediate creamy, rich mocha flavor coating my palate. After a few more moments, that perfect Cuban buttery twang joins in. This is a much larger ring gauge than I typically prefer, but it can still be so satisfying to enjoy a big cigar. Not a huge f

One of those days where you aren’t even sure if you can find the time to smoke, but you make the time & randomly select the best damn HdM Epi Especial you’ve ever had

First time Partagas Maduro try: not bad so far, I do love the grassy, buttery, game-meaty taste of Cuban maduros

Gloriously oily BBF on the porch this evening

Here’s my own gorgeous box of Famosos to add to the mix!

A Good Life Wasted: Or Twenty Years As A Fishing Guide set me off on the path when I was very young by showing me I didn’t have to follow the rat race, we won’t understand everything in life (& thank god) and that every billionaire that goes fly fishing wishes he could swap lives with the guide living for tips. I also absolutely love The River Why & A River Runs Through It. For easy reading, the Sean Stranahan mystery series (start with The Royal Wulff Murders) set in Montana centers around an avid fly fisherman & P.I. And is just decadently fun. I know I’m responding super late

Indeed, the one and only! I ended my day by making up for my lack of catch with some fine, fresh oysters on my way home. Love that area

A beautiful place to catch no fish today!

Took this very nice Rafael Gonzalez PC with me to flyfish a NorCal bay
