Well, there is a foot of snow outside and it's 15 degrees, so I have to decide if I'm going to post up in the garage with the portable heater. If so, I'm thinking the El Triunfador Lancero original blend I just picked up.
Well it is a bit breezy here in California today, I am having a Graycliff Expresso with a cup of Kopi Sumatra siting on patio. Off for the holidays and making the best of it. Nice Choc,nuts and deep earth tones.

Man that sounds Good!!, Raining here in Texas and I have a cold.
It's nice right now in TN, but it's going to rain this afternoon so I'm having a Padilla Cazadores with my coffee, and something in the dry box for a follow up.
Had a Jameson's red label Connie this morning. Started out pretty mild but very creamy, picked up to a mild-med about halfway thru and stayed nice and creamy thru out .
Merry Christmas all, today is a pretty chilly out. But I'm going to make it happen with a Vanilla Latte and a Avo Classic robusto to start the day.
Hope everyone is able to get one end today. Going to go off of Rudy's advise and have Viaje Holiday Bend this evening. Enjoy and a fantastic day..........
Unfortunately, I'm not smoking anything this morning. I'm stuck working on christmas day until 6 pm, maybe I'll be able to get one in when I get home tonight. Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Xmas to you as well, and I truly wish you a fine and merry evening when you get freed up!

Ricky, how does that red label compare to the black label? I dug around and found you a black label toro with almost a year's rest...I'll get it out to you in the next week.
Just fired up my first Pueblo Dominicano. Only 3 puffs in, but I can say this cigar certainly has unique characteristics. I will report back later with a more solid opinion. Good start, though.

Update:
now approaching the 1hr 45min mark (with about a half inch of smoking left), and I gotta say, this baby has kept my attention the whole way. Not only is the burn, draw, and overall construction great, but this thing is crazy complex. Very good taste and flavor profile. Ever changing characteristic (all of which are unique, I might add!). But another thing that has really stood out to me is the mouth feel of the smoke... it is different than any other cigar I have ever smoked, and honestly, not even similar to any cigar I have ever smoked. I swear it's like you can actually feel the complexities swirling around in the smoke. It's very cool.
all in all, this is one of the most unique cigars I have ever had the pleasure of smoking. I am VERY glad I got a 10 pack of em, and based on the aging potential I see in them, I will prob grab another to put up for a while. I really enjoyed this one.
if you have been thinking about trying this blend, do it! I would love for someone with a super developed palate to review one of these for us... kuzi... Alex... throw us a bone, here. lol
Even though the Pueblo Dominicano was a 2hr smoke, I decided I really wanted another cigar! lol.
since I couldn't follow that with just any cigar, I decided to grab a Oliva V maduro (2011). I've only had one of these before, and it was only a couple weeks ago, but these things are great. This one came to me from Shaun, thank you brother!
AF 858 flor fina, cameroon much better with 4-6 months than oot IMO. Really enjoying this morning smoke. To me it's I bit sweet with hints of pear, gotten this flavor twice and I like it.
