Good Friday to you sir.  Last day as a frozen Fish for a bit.

Yes looking forward to a little warm-up. I have a garage door opener to replace tomorrow, after a 10:30 hockey game outdoors

This is where my son is playing tomorrow, awesome place. Feels like pond hockey

That's so cool. I'm glad kids still get to experience stuff like that.

"Friday, January 12th, The rink is currently closed. The Restaurant and Snack Bar will Not be open tonight."  I take it this is a "natural ice" rink with no refrigeration?

No it has a full cooling system, Zamboni, the whole nine yards. They don't play there constantly, it's a private club that doesn't see much use except from their own teams and open skates for members

somewhere along the line, I picked up some HC Colorados in a stout figurado vitola.  They are very good, but I can't seem to find that one anywhere.  and ideas?

What color is the band?

head band = yellow & gold.  says Havana collection  and foot ring is gold with black band on bottom and says Habana Colorado

Well, the listing here says Habana Colorado, but the pic is of a corojo. So who the hell knows?

Though, the box in the pic might be right, I think it's just the cigar up close that isn't correct.

the Colorado is the right cigar, but that particular vitola doesn't seem to be listed.  figurado style with a pigtail.  been looking on line and no go so far.  wierd.  need to find the order i got them on.  hell, need to find the store I bought them from  for that matter. 

As they are an AJF cigar, they were probably a limited time vitola.  You know he likes to mix things up and offer all salomons or other shapes and sizes, particularly figurado's.

Curious too. The AJ/Monte stick did nothing for me except lighten my wallet.

That might've been his problem.

Back.  Hi Dean & Flip!  Later LTG.

Not impressed with the Monte White lunch smoke.  i remember a few years ago while working in the humidor for Cigarette City in Smyrna DE they had Monte White Toros for about 12.00/stick and I was allowed to smoke anything "unsalable" due to chips or cracks ,etc.  so there were occasional "damaged" Monte whites i'd smoke.  they were damn good sort of acting mild while delivering some decent flavors and a nice dose of vitamin N.  today's offering was just harsh.  i'm wondering, with the seeming dumping of Monte Christo sticks lately (never remember them going on sale so much in the past) if they had a bad run of tobacco and are getting rid of some sub par sticks.

What are we stuffing them with? I recently made a pork shoulder that went over really well with the family. Even reheated, it never dried out and was super tender. Will be making another one soon.
