Well, just got back from dinner with my wife.  We ate at our favorite restaurant for the 5th and last time for summer 2021.  We have been regulars there for 20 years, so the hostess gave us a good table, right next to Michael J. Fox.  
Now, I don't know about different age groups, or people in different countries, but when you are a 52 year old American, you grew up with Michael J Fox.  Family Ties, Back To The Future, Doc Hollywood, etc.  I didn't bother him, but it felt pretty cool eating dinner just 3 feet away from him.  
But at the end of his dinner, he grabbed his cane, and shuffled out of there as fast as he could, I think in the hopes that people wouldn't see him walking with the cane.  It made me pretty sad actually.  I wanted to follow him out to the parking lot and tell him "Nobody cares about the cane.  You are still a freaking legend!", but I resisted.

That’s pretty awesome Elliot. And yes, he is a legend. And Canadian too

If you can age these out, they are fantastic.

Definitely more rustic than a Lusi but the construction was spot on even in 13 mph winds.  Zero relights.

MC#1 GEL OCT 20 HQ 12 pack from our host. These are box pressed and ROTT. What a nice salty hit on the start. i couldn’t resist after the sniff test. a perfect draw and excellent burn on this one.

Great to hear, recently picked up the same code/month. Still have a few from a 17 box to get through but sounds promising!

Last nights old crusty corona major. Lots of flavour left in this still. Herbal goodness with some coffee creme, light almond at times and a honey sweet in the final third.

Lunchtime treat today of the El Principe from a quality 2017 box. Time to restock on these little syrup bombs

Bloody hot out today but lovely view and Esmeralda on the course

C&C time. Punch SDP from our gracious host.

First half was fairly mild, but still flavorful, second half picked up significantly and was on the stronger side, but still tasty and not too strong.

Perfect draw and burn.

Construction was good until the wrapper peeled a little bit in the second half, but not really very badly.

Overall, a nice tasty smoke

AF Hemingway work of art.  I bought a box of these and smoked two that were not impressive.  This one was very true, cherry licorice bliss to the nub.

I think this one is aged a bit too long. But enjoyable none the less.

Brooks of Halfwheel surely didn't give this one enough time to rest; it seems like it ruined his day back in 2018 (with no awareness of potential).  Now these of are of a certain age, and quite enjoyable (though I did have to touch it up. ) 
"Have a great weekend!" to all our friends in the Southern Hemisphere!  Looking fwd to ours soon too!
ps:  In fairness, it took more re-lights than I'd anticipated in the final 1/3rd, ...though that may have been my fault trying to stretch it out

oh, you mean the globally coordinated conspiracy to ensure Halfwheel reviewers are delivered the worst 3 samples of every RE, LE continues?

Yeah, that's why I'm not really an aged Cigar guy.

Some are great, some are bland and flavorless, you just never really know how long to let them age.

Of about the 30 aged and Vintage Cigars I have had, half that would have been great smokes young, had become bland, flavorless and musty.

Real shame.

I have decided not to do any intentional aging, and wont be seeking out, and especially paying a premium for, aged Cigars.

Too hit ir miss how they will be, and even the ones that weren't bland and flavorless weren't "better" than recent production ones, just different

The siglo's are some of my favorite Cohibas, especially being amongst the cheapest Cohibas there are.

I like the Siglo II'S for the "cheap" price, but not too small like the Siglo I's.

Nice PC size that I can stretch to an hour if I pace myself.

Was generously gifted a Siglo V I'm anxious to try. Curious how much the significantly larger size effects the taste.

Many dont seem to care for the various sized Edmundos.

I really enjoy the Edmundo and Double Edmundo quite a bit, but then again I enjoy the not very popular Open line quite a bit, so I'm a weirdo apparently,lol

Being on the milder side to begin with, how did the age affect it?

Woke up early this morning in Pittsburg and smoked an Esmeralda.

There is a big pickle festival going on here, that everyone seems really excited about.  

...must be a mid-west thing?🤷‍♂️

Por Larranaga Picadores

Excellent in every regard as always

Partagas Aristocrats

Very tasty, powerful smoke in a little PC package.

Perfect draw,burn and construction as well

HDM Epicure No.2

My favorite of the Epicure line

Extremely tasty and perfect draw,burn and construction

To me, they smoke above their price

Love of pickles knows no geographic boundaries.
