Afternoon Gentlemen.  Famous Nic 3000 and Sparkling Water here on the patio.

Afternoon, Dave.

Afternoon Joe, how much longer you got working today?

Another half hour, at most.  Nothing else to 'do', just wrapping some things up.

Let's see if this 4 year aged cigar is good, shall we?

/// Nice, Ken.

Let's see if this 4 year aged cigar is good, shall we?

is there such a bad thing as a bad opus!?!

HaHa! No, but these have so much bullshit with them, but yeah it is very, very good! The bullshit is the price. Does that Chateau Fuente leaf grow like all other tobacco? Like a weed? It is good, and I'm smoking it sitting here by myself, watching the thunderstorms with wardens scared dog. He's a pussy!

While I can't disagree with you on the price...  They are a damn good cigar.  My FIL gave me a half dozen.  He found a local shop that would sell a box of them for cheap...  Cash only...  Makes you wonder...

Howdy, Steve, and fitz, and Joe! This is a great cigar, though. No doubt about it.

Always irks me when people won't smoke something because it's their "last one" or something's being saved for a 'special occasion'.

1) Being the last one is as good a reason as it gets to smoke it!  Put it out of its misery!  You can always buy another.

2) A good enough occasion will never come. Smoke it and realize that the cigar makes the occasion, not the other way around.  -----jwacky-----Not necessarily.  Every Saturday night is a special occasion, (some more special than others) and a few of us smoke our best stuff together on Saturday nights.

Well, as with anything, there are exceptions. What I really meant was that sometimes the cigar makes the occasion and not the other way around.

Maybe the fancy band costs a lot! Real gold?

Joe, I agree 100%! Me and the dog are really enjoying this cigar! He jumped in my lap, because the thunder is scaring him. So, second hand smoke for him!

/// Just getting ready to eat dinner, thought I'd check in and Dave, your post caught my eye.
I used to get the Famous N3KGR (Gran Robustos) on a regular basis, when I had to move I stored my stash, so I haven't had one in a good while. How is it?  If I remember, there were comments saying that one batch to another might be different.  Sometimes they would be fantastic, then they'd sell out, and then the next batch may not be as good.  But when they were good, they were good.  Almost an oval shape, or soft box press.  Fred used to like them also.  Never could find out who made them.

They vary some but I have never had any bad ones.  Trick is they have to age at least 6 months and even much better in a year.  This one is 6 months and pretty damn good for a $1.95 cigar good burn but draw is a bit tight.  I try to buy some every year so I keep some well aged ones on hand.  Got a few left from over 4 years ago and they are extremely good.  No idea myself who makes them.
