Morning, muchachos.

Good morning, Bret. Good night's sleep?

No. Was up most of the night. Grabbed a few winks between 6 and 7:45.

Sheesh. Sorry to hear it.

Had a lot on my mind. It's okay, I'm probably taking the afternoon off, anyway.

Need to start adding cigars to your relaxation regimen.

That might be the key.

Interesting. I wonder if they will just keep getting bigger and bigger?

And also if they're going to move beyond PA, TX and FL.

Time to hit the bricks. Hazzuh!

Possibly. My consumption has dropped off since I "closed" my cigar lounge owing to conflict at the height of the pandemic with the friends who most often frequented it.

This COVID really did a number on us.

Next one will be #3 in Texas.  Wonder if they will venture out of the three cigar friendly states of Texas, Florida and PA?  Maybe they'll put one near Dean.

Dean isn't interested in CI.

It may as well be Monday. They just announced a bus broke down ahead of us in the "express" lane.

Man, I don't miss the commute even a little.

I'm actually not minding it but I'm certain it will grow old before too long.

There's probably a bit of nostalgia tied up in there, to the before-times. But yes, I suspect that shine will wear off quickly.

It is a bit windy but not as cold as I was expecting. May be having one of my new cigars on the commute home today.

What new ones?
Did you revitalize your humidor on your last trip in?

I'll be smoking the newly acquired Maceda robusto from Tabanero Cigars.

My cigars at the office look ok but I need to get 'em home today and introduce them to some humidity. Don't want to shock them so will do it slowly.

So far, so good. Mild but pleasant. I think they go for $11 apiece and I'm not sure I can say it's that good.

Retrohale has some nice vanilla and creamy notes. Mild pepper too.

It's tauted to be mild but I'm finding it to have a lot of body... Like me! I thought the sampler was made up of different sizes of the same cigar and now I'm more excited that they are all a bit different. I'll keep you posted.
