This was another day they were encouraging people to come into the office. As far as I know, no one on my team is going. :D

Oof.
I made it in time. I don't mind the early start. Traffic wasn't much better than usual, as I'd hoped. No lunches got made today, everyone's on their own.

Time for them to spread their wings. Tony should do it more often. In fact, they should be making him lunch.

Fugazi at the Page today:
https://www.cigarpage.com/fugazi-to-the-moon-mazos.html
I've always been curious about these "compare to" blends, to see how close they actually get to the real thing. Not curious enough to buy some and try them out, just mildly curious. Lol

Unless they are offering the experience of a $20 or $30 cigar for 5 or 6 bucks, I'd rather just go with the original. Time is too short to waste on cheap copies.

Today is Thursday, April 10, the 100th day of 2025
with 265 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mars and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars and Uranus.

My experience is that "copy cigars" can be decent smokes, and I can often detect what makes them "comparable," but they tend to be one-dimensional. They'd be better called "kinda similar to."
