Sad to see Torano bought.  Now just another CI generic...

Evening gents. Finishing the day with a big glass of ice water and a V Melanio. Hot day today.

Economies of scale.  It's like the banks.

Humid, for sure.  I smoked something on the way home from work but don't think there is another one in the cards for me tonight.

Could be worse, It could be under the Rocky Patel umbrella.

That it is. Supposed to be nice come Sunday. Hard to believe it is already snowing in some places.

I'm not looking forward to the winter.  I think it's gonna be as bad as last year.  And that was rough.

I actually smoked a really nice RP this evening.  But trust me, I know that's not the norm.

About 7 years ago it was. He had a good sun grown, the Old World corojo was nice and the decade was good when it came out. Last few I purchased all had burn problems and were just a shadow of the glory days in flavor. Prefer a company concentrate on 4 or 5 blends and do them perfectly then have 25 blends and they all be less then memorable.

Do you remember the RP Fire lancero?  A bunch of us bought boxes of 'em for $40-60 many many years ago.  That's what I smoked earlier.  Still have a handful left.  They've definitely gotten better.

Honing a knife I just finished making and my arm is about to fall off. Should have used my diamond plate to set the bevel before moving to natural stone. Would have taken half the time. Ow well.

Cannot say I do. Only have a few lancero's in the humi. V's and Cane F limited tubo's which are very good.
