How long does it take you to burn a toro to the nub? It’s like an hour and a half minimum for me. Robustos seem to be my sweet spot at an hour, maybe a few minutes more.

Another favorite backbow Royal Stetson, with a little rum punch, and a Peterson 307 loaded with Boswell Countryside

About an hr and a half for me....I don't puff too hard. I'm after flavor not smoke volume. Retirement lets me pace myself....

I tend to smoke slowly as well. I’ll be hanging with buddies today to watch ballgames and I’ll take with me two cigars from my stash no idea which ones yet. I haven’t smoked regularly in a few years and I’ve got lots of premiums that have been resting for 7 years or longer, some for over 10 to 12 years. Lots of yellow cellophane in my humidors. I have a hankerin’ to start burning through them.

Enjoy your day of fine hats, good spirits, and tasty smoke! I’ll be wearing my Akubra BP in Heritage Fawn for today’s festivities.

Plain ol’ Miller Lite and some good smokes. Akubra keeping my head warm on this chilly night outdoors.

This past week I have been enjoying a wee dram late at night. The cooler temps find me enjoying the whisky's.

Cheers, Eric -
