    What's your person criteria for buying something again?

    I started smoking cigars only a year ago and I started doing personal reviews on Facebook just for my own fun and to keep track of what I like. Some friends like my reviews and some are Puritans who think enjoying a cigar is a sin, it matters not to me. The rating system I use has six...

    Porch sitting on a nice evening listening to music, browsing the innerwebz, or head clearing nothing. Shooting skeet and trap is also a good with a cigar. Have a couple buddies I like to hang out with, have drinks and converse. Although they don't smoke stogies they don't mind that I do.

    How many flames is you preference 1, 2, 3, 4

    I picked up a Thunderbird Zippo insert that has the single torch, but when the button is lifted has a soft flame. Like it for smaller ring gauges to toast with the torch and light with the soft flame. Also have 3 and 4 burner torches for larger cigars.

    Smoked one of those for my "victory dance" after the solar eclipse last August. My son and I found the one clear patch of sky in the KC area and watched totality. That evening I sat by the pool at the hotel and smoked the Bull while everyone else there cursed their luck going to St. Joseph and...

    Got a fiver of PDR Small Batch free with a purchase of 5 Pardon 80th Anniversary. So far it's a good stick, has a tart chocolate and sweet hay flavor and short leather finish, medium bodied. Looks isn't anything to write home about but burn line is sharp and ash holds over an inch.

    CAO Italia Ciao from their World Sampler. I liked the Brazilia more, but this was still a good smoke. Lots of leather and chocolate, smooth and creamy. The burn had issues but once it got going it was okay.

    I'm not a good judge of strength, former smoker and now I vape all the time, so nic has little effect on me. Flavors were leather, cedar and oak, not much sweetness, some bitters but good. Some pepper, especially on the retro hale, but in no way a pepper bomb.

    I didn't really notice until you said this, but yeah, no big LFD on the band. It was a really good smoke, full flavor and tasty, the cellophane said I paid $8.60 for it at the b&m.

    Few hours north and been to Ram Stadium (or as I call it, monolithic to mediocre football,) you must be from Burkburnett. As for the Baker Hotel I believe they have plans and dreams, but they have had that since I moved here in '78. Doubt it ever amounts to much but it would be nice if they...

    Had all my kids over, grilled some steaks in the rain but under the carport, ate, joked, and had a good time. Now time to relax.

    According to Google maps, those coordinates are smack dab in the middle of the Colorado River north of Austin TX. I may have to go visit my brother in Round Rock and paddle out there.
