[Craig Mac]

haze away then wait for it

 

[Angry Bill]

Nice... Take a little jaunt out to Miami and see Little Havana!

I'll bite

Dude, only 3 cigars for 5 days?!?!

I'm headed to Catalina Island for ONE day tomorrow, and I'm bringing 4. Common, throw a few extra in, you know you'll be thankful you did!

 

[Craig Mac]

Three for the first night there, 2 for me and one to offer my Uncle, and if he says no, then more for me. The next morning I have an Opus X lined up(my first one) at 10:30am on the golf course, plus a few more, then a trip to Tampa Humidor to figure out where the weekend will take me.......

 

[uncelnino]

Enjoy the trip and the Opus, which vitola do you have lined up?

 

[Volusianator]

That first Opus should be saved for the 19th hole when you can really enjoy it.

Wish I could, staying in Leesburg with family then visiting friends in Orlando and Tampa, not going to leave much time for anything else unfortunately.

Not sure, buddy that I am meeting is bringing one to the course for me.

Yep, IMHO Opus and golf just dont mix. For me an Opus is 2 much for the course and you just cant enjoy it.

+1 here. For your first Opus especially, I would save it for a little later.

 

[jwintosh]

have a great trip!!

 

[Craig Mac]

Thanks guys, looking forward to some well earned Vaca time. And also, why is that people feel I should save the Opus for after golf? Golf and Cigars are a passion for me and the two fit me perfectly. I can thoroughly enjoy them at the same time, unless I am missing something, just curious.

My golf buddy also told me he had a fiver waiting on me down there too, also a displaced friend just called and is putting me up for night to party with him in St Pete's Beach, man this trip keeps getting better.

Personaly I would find an Opus too strong for 10:30 Am. It's one of those smokes you want to just sit and relax with. That way you can get into the little nuances that make Opus so special. Of course do what you want and if you buddy is bringing you one and wants to smoke it right then, then I suppose you should just smoke it, but eat a hearty breakfast first.

I figured it to be on the heavy side from what I have read about them and what the brothers here were saying. But like you said when he hands me an Opus I am not going to say no, but I may see if I can dip in to the 5er first, hehe. And a hearty breakfast is never a problem...

 

[Gummi Bear]

Bah, you can smoke the Opus on the course. If "I" can do it, surely you can.

One tip though: be sure to eat first. Else you'll feel like a trainwreck during your round after smoking the Opus.:skew:

hahaha, thanks gummi, of course my game can be a trainwreck on its own at times.

Back from vaca, back to work(uggh). Had a blast visiting old and new friends as well as family. Smoked 10 or 11 great sticks down there, including my first Opus, and it was incredible(bold, spicey, chewy delicious). Worst part was getting on the plane at 80 degrees and getting off the plane at 60 degrees.

Forgot to add golf scores, shot 87(triple-double the last two holes), and hacked out 93(no mullis, ball down, no gimmies, straight up golf), both on courses I had never played before. The second round was so windy the sand was coming up out of the bunkers at times. I hit a 6 iron from 130 and barely got to the back of the green.

Enjoy the weather and the smokes bro!

Edit: I got egg on my face.. sorry haven't really been visiting regularly for a couple of weeks but glad to hear good times were had.
