But before that, starting out with this little number from Viaje:

ha, never seen one of those.

Viaje is not a broadly available brand, and now their entire line are limited release.  Got this one in 2014 as part of a Viaje sampler.

One of those interesting cigars that is rock solid to the touch but still manages an easy draw.  I always expect these "hard" cigars to be impossible to smoke.

Local store provided my favorite Thanksgiving pie fresh baked yesterday, Peach Praline.  They are some kind of good.

Everything else from scratch at home, Mesquite Smoked Turkey, Cornbread Dressing (made with homemade cornbread), Candied Sweet Potatoes (fresh sweet potatoes) and Green Bean Casserole made with fresh green beans.

I'm doing simple. cherry pie (frozen), apple raison (homemade ), pumpkin (filling from a can), custard (store bought), 16# turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, dinner rolls. lady's oldest daughter might show up, and a friend of ours that has no family or place to go.

11# turkey here and just the warden and me this year.  Boy and DIL are coming for a week in mid-December for the holidays.  They are leaving SC after lunch today headed to Alabama to visit the new grandog for the weekend.

Invited the older neighbors down the street last year and they came at 10 in the morning, drank up a bottle of vodka worth of bloody Mary's before 1:00 pm lunch and then just stayed for dinner too.  They don't care about football just like to talk, Fuct up our whole day so they did not get an invite this year.

you better hope they don't think they have an open invitation now.

Ha, they asked us last week what we were doing for Thanksgiving and we told the getting the house ready to sell.

I may have to make a Bloody Mary this morning, sounds good

Long standing family tradition around here.

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to all. Looking forward to a couple smokes later around the turkey fryers

Morning Fish

Morning Tex, Warheads and Neanderthals will be here tomorrow

I actually pre-ordered some Warheads and got them last Wednesday.  Probably try one today.  Ones from Famous were shipped but takes a week to get them here.

Guess I will get the smoker going.

Thought for Today: "Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." - William Arthur Ward, American writer (1921-1994).

every day is a holiday, every meal is a feast.

Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving, guys.

Almost picked one of those up a number of times but doubted they'd be worth the price. Keep us posted.

I'm making some appetizers and sides. The Mrs is making cookies  (all sorts of kinds) and we're heading to the inlaws, where the turkey is being made.

Sounds like a lovely plan. Enjoy.

Good cigar.  Have had a lot of Viaje's over the years.  Some interesting flavors, but very inconsistent from year to year and as you indicated, very pricy for what you get.  Still enjoy sampling, but don't consider any boxworthy.

Happy Thanksgiving Tony!
