Agreed. We believe the ashtray was from the 50's.

That’s awesome. I love the history of cigar smoking.

Vintage cigar accessories are awesome, that's a rabbit hole I'd have to avoid.

Finally got some mid day cigar weather. I'm taking the opportunity to inhale the freedom of Texas independence from the mask mandates and biz restrictions.

Nub Maduro mid day snack.

Very nice. I just got through with a cheapo that I enjoyed. Joya Del Jefe 1890. Not bad at all for the $1.50 or so I paid for it in a sampler pack from CI.

I’m about to make a large order that includes classics from AJ Fernandez and Oliva. I’m thinking about adding Drew Estate Factory Smokes Maduro, but wanted to get y’alls thoughts on that one before I pull the trigger.

Would ash.

Friend of mine let me know Small Batch got some more Sobremesa Brulee Blues in stock, so I snagged a five pack.

When they have to specify one per person, you know you’re getting quality smokes.

Beautiful evening here and a great day at work. Restructuring and nice to see plans come to fruition. Pulled out my old reliable from the humidor, Arturo Fuente 8-5-8, natural wrapper. This cigar has been my go to for years, and serves as a great “every day” smoke, or humidor stuffer and a great cigar to offer to friends that are very casual smokers. I highly recommend this for those looking to have a reliable smoke at the ready. Cheers gentlemen!

Think I may make the switch to V cutter.

I’ve been using a V for years now. Not too much not too little and clean cut every time.

I’m going to snag one on my next big order. I got drunk the other night and ordered the wrong size smokes

Don’t cigar shop and drink, folks.

Looks like a good pairing. I’ve been wanting to try a CI Legend, kinda wanting something to replace factory smokes as my budget stick.

I think I'm in the same boat. Factory Smokes is great, and I'll always keep a few in the humidor. That said, for about fifty cents more I can smoke something a lot better.

I find Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe to be a great budget option.

I've found them both at Total Wine and at Piper's Haven. They run about $3-$4 per.

Warning: IF you buy from total wine, let them sit in your humidor for a few weeks. They're not quite right. Piper's Haven cigars are ready to smoke. They have a great setup.

If your budget can swing it, the AF 8-5-8 is a great cigar. Box of 25 runs around $130
