Son and DIL gave me a Yeti 30 oz stainless thermal cup for Fathers Day and it kept my coffee piping hot for 2 hours this morning, nice! Will save me $2.25 for a Starbucks around 7:30 most mornings.
It's 5 o'clock here!
This L'At has become meh, moving on to a Little Devil.

It's a jaw breaker. Even with the bit of taper on the end. The draw is a bit tough too. With that said, it's got that classic corojo flavor. I happen to like that. I'm afraid of it going out though so I'm puffing a little too aggressively, making the flavors a little harsh.

The pretty ladies out here are making this cigar taste even better.
Bean, you ever smoked a Little Devil and MOWPA side by side for comparison. Need to do that as memory paints a very similar profile for me.

Its opening up now. I also have to admit that the CI tasting notes seem to be spot on.http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/12075/savinelli-special-selection-05/#p-106159

Sounds like it smokes above it's price point based on the CI "out of stock" price. And who doesn't love a "long lip-smacking finish".
