All this burger talk and I'm making Kielbasa.  Sheesh.

The two finest words in the English language - encased meat.  Afternoon Will.

Welcome back, CB.  How was this last trip to Macy's?  Sure seemed to last a long time.

had my dental adventures then followed by our trip to visit with Tim and family. Tim is beginning his deployment to  Afghanistan today.  Oh, and working on a FdlA toro gordo.  Like the gordo - full flavor and more strength.

so today starts deployment anxiety for dad. How long will he be away.

The Army has gone to shorter deployments so they eliminate the mid-tour leave. Tim suppose to be back in January. The units mission is to help the Afgan Army with planning operations and help shut down US bases. Not suppose to be directly involved in combat ops but I doubt the Taliban has read the memo.

Well good luck to him and we all appreciate his dedicated service.

three tours in Iraq and now his second to Afghanistan.  He joined the Army in time to be part of the invasion of Iraq and been at it ever since with every tour different from the last.

Afternoon all.  Padilla Miami 2010 Oscuro - Perfecto Lit and damn it is good.

How good is it?  Afternoon La Tex.  Or is that Tex La?

LA-TX for sure.  All of these old 2008-2010 aged Padilla's are very good cigars especially since I bought them on Jams back then for no more than $3/cigar in 10 Paks. Probably bought a hundred of them and now wish it was 300.

It looks like everyone is enjoying their Sunday..!  I just finished my Rocky Patel Ocean Club Toro, and in using Joe's 1 - 5 (being best) scale, I'm going to give it a 3.75 / 4 by saying I wouldn't mind having a couple in my humidor.  It sort of made me feel like I was having a party by myself.., along with a little rye...

Ah yes a little Rye on the side to enhance the experience.

They're still pretty fresh tasting.  5.5x40 or so, former machine made now a hand rolled tripa corta.  The picture doesn't show it, but it is a bit lumpy and has a few soft spots.   

Flavor wise, lots of fresh pepper.  Buried under that is a coffee core and some woody accents/aroma.  If I smoke it real, real slow, the pepper is kept in check and it a medium bodied, peppery/coffee/woody/slightly sweet smoke.  If I smoke it a little faster than that, it is all PEPPER PEPPER PEPPER _{other flavors} PEPPER PEPPER PEPPER.

I'm going to have to say, "I like this Rye..."  It's Bulleit Rye Small Batch 95...  It's a little expensive for me, but it was on sale for $28 (a 1/5th), and when I mention to my wife it was on sale, she bought it for me.  Mmmmm, I wonder if that's the meaning of love...?
