Wife's out of town this wekend.......

lilwing88

Got some major smoking to do. I think I will get through an Anejo, a GOF, a couple ISOMs, an Ashton VSG and some others I've been meaning to try. Not that I'm celebrating her departure, or anything. In fact, I'll miss her dearly (***sniff, sniff***). It's just that I never have time to sit back by myself and have more than one stick at time. Oh well, it'll be a smokefest of my own this weekend. I'll update the progress here as I go.....

Bail-out? No. That's what my buddy turn-key is for. He works the lock-up right down the street from me. I'm just gonna "borrow" a couple working girls from him and some "supplies" from the evidence room.

JOKING!!!!!

Geez, I hope no one from Internal Affairs is on this site! LOL!

Nope. But we do have a real estate showing on Sunday. So I'll be doing some cleaning this weekend.....

I will be in same boat next week, although it will be an ENTIRE week lol......I will be able to indulge in both my hobbies without regard....sticks and tunes blasting! This opportunity comes but once a year!

phobicsquirrel

Get some strippers and have a PARTY!!!!

lilwing88

Well, as promised I am updating this smokefest thread. I have just enjoyed my first stick. It was an H. Upmann Coronas Major. A 5 1/8 x 42 lovely. Very tightly packed. A very tight draw, but still enjoyable. I decided to step it off with an ISOM. I'm classy like that......

I'm not going to review this one, for obvious reasons, but lets just say that I'm glad I picked this one to kick off a weekend of smoking bliss.

Next up......... I don't know. While I peruse my catalog of many many smokes, the next person to throw out a stick that I have, I'll smoke that one.

Diamondog

Since I have a couple of these bad boys on the way why don't you fire up an Anejo, what #?

I actually have a #46...... I'm cuttin it now.

lilwing88

Had the #46. Wow. What a good smoke. I think that'll do for tonight. I'm tired and I have a long day ahead of me of more smokin to do.....

dennisking

you can always say what ISOM you had, just not where it is from

TatuajeVI

Yum, Anejo. Looking forward to one of those sometime soon!

Krieg

I'd be doing the samething! Have fun and let us know how u like those smokes.

stephen_hannibal

Oh man last time I had something like this... I got super drunk and smoked in the house.
When I kinda came around it hit me... I was like WHAT HAVE I DONE.
Found out burning coffee beans in a skillet pretty much gets the smoke smell out of anything.
Have fun and smoke away.

Well, my smokefest has hit a bump in the road. It's 31 and snowing here in Chicago. So, my plans for a morning and afternoon smoke are out. I may still get an afternoon one in if I can get to the B&M. But tonight I'll be at a lounge smoking and drinking to my hearts content.......

First day of spring my @ss

lilwing88

For my afternoon smoke I went to the B&M and thoroughly enjoyed a Nestor Miranda Dominicano Oscuro 6 x 60 Super Toro. This thing packed a puch. I had a full stomach from lunch and it still made me a little woozy. I'm a fan of these from now on. It had some burn issues half way through, but with a little correction, it was fine. Now some house cleaning and off to another B&M tonight for a herf.........

Sounds like you're coping well. Enjoy.

Well, the last night of the "weekend w/out the wife" ended with a herf at The Humidor in Westmont, IL. This was a cool shop. I'll be visiting there again. They had a nice selection, reasonable prices, friendly staff and a nice lounge. I went in there thinking Tatuaje, but they only had the Havana blend and I've been dying to try some of the other blends. So, I called an audible and went with a LFD Chisel Maduro and tried the method pointed out by dennisking earlier in another thread. I pinched the cap instead of cutting, creating a nice opening. I don't know if I did it wrong, or if I'm just used to a heavier draw, but I ended up cutting it after about an inch and a half into it, to open up the draw. Then I had a pleasant experience. After that, I followed up with a Gurkha Legend Signature Series Maduro. This was an excellent smoke. Very full bodied. Great draw. Consistent burn. None of the wrapper issues that people seem to have with Gurkhas. A very enjoyable stick from light to finish.

But most importantly, I met up with some great BOTLs and shared some good rum and had some great conversations. And isn't that really what it's all about?
