For my family, it always starts with the fall hunt together.  Quartering the venison.... My apologies to those of you who think meat comes in cellophane!

My 12 year old son likes baking. Me, I’m a cook. Here is the beginning to thanksgiving morning made by my kid...breakfast cinnamon rolls ready for the oven after a night in the fridge. Just

What a nice looking turduckin!  My dad likes to make Turswiney (a de-boned turkey wrapped around pork loin and ground turkey stuffing).  It's good, but I think yours is more attractive by far.

Crazy busy Thanksgiving weekend capped by a herf session with the boys. Highlight was of course Heiko’s presentation of his highly.... coveted... highly priced white carbon fiber cigar ‘attaché’ which costs over USD20,000

This is more of a recap as today is the final day of my Thanksgiving season. 

Thanksgiving day started off at Up Down.  We are officially closed on Thanksgiving but since my food & friends plans were later, I invited some of the guys over to watch the Bears game at the store over a cigar.  My business partner and I tried to smoke custom rolled salomons but neither would draw worth a damn.  I switched to something else but can't remember what it was.  Here's our Up Down Breakfast of Champions with a 2015 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Rare Edition.

The crew of Thanksgiving "Orphans"  watching 2 bad football teams duke it out:

From there a few of us when out to the burbs.  Amy (my cigar smoking girlfriend & chef) had been prepping for a couple of days as Thanksgiving is her Super Bowl.  My "help" consists of showing up on time and staying out of the way.  There was around 15 people in total and we had a great time.

On Friday I flew to San Antonio to visit my dad as he was being more of a curmudgeon than usual this year and thought he could use my company.  We've had a lazy but enjoyable few days doing relatively little besides watching football Saturday and Sunday.  I'm trying to motivate him to get a little more active (he's 89) and it's been difficult lately.  Hopefully he'll get motivated before we all get together for Christmas and then dove hunt in January.  Regardless, as I posted in the SMRW, here's what I put together for us last night.  It was the first cigar I've had since Thanksgiving day so I supposed, to answer the question posed by El Prez, it's my official Thanksgiving post lunch cigar, April 2012 Punch Double Corona with a bottle of Justin Cab 2016 and some random think cuts of meat my father had in the freezer.

I hope all who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I hope all who didn't still had a good weekend while perhaps a little jealous of our gluttonous USA holiday traditions.

Cheers!

Congrats to the sampler winners! 

It was great to see the variety of preparation and celebration that everyone was generous enough to post.

Based on all the photos and posts, it looked like there were a lot of winners on Thanksgiving celebrating with family, friends, food, and cigars.
