Had a couple Quintero's earlier today and boy is it hot.... 115 F today and gonna be almost this hot for the next 7 days. Tonights overnight low is 90F LOL!!! :-)

Long story short the flies were sticking to the screen door, taking in the cool breeze from the aircon, i put some rubbish in the bin and come inside. I feel a tickle on my neck, moved my hand quickly and knocked off a nasty old wasp bastard. No sting thankfully, proof that only the good die young :-)

Maybe he dont like Quintero's the way i do .. LOL :-)

yeah everytime i cook chicken on the bbq they come in droves lol

Ive got a pet sleepy lizard outside, see him once in a while, normally when the lawn is cut and there is fresh water in the ponds. One of these days ill have to introduce him into cohiba-world lol.

haha reminds me of cheech and chong with the smoking lizard....:-)

What i've found, after nearly a decade of smoking cigars, is that the only thing cigar smoke repels is women.

I find that (and my father agrees with me) that mosquitos dont bite when smoking a cigar...

I was going to ask about this.... this summer I was dabbing on the insect repellent to my neck and arms for my outdoors smoking sessions.

Anyone else notice cigars keep mosquitos away? I'd be nice to not have to put on that stuff (smells funky sometimes too).

I usually get eaten alive when mosquitos are around, but I've noticed that I don't have as many bites when I'm smoking a cigar. So it works to some extent for me. Maybe I just need to smoke more when I'm outside. :-)

Eat more garlic and the mosquitos won't want to be around you, of cores no one else will either :-)

Misquotes still attack my ankles pretty good in the summer time, However from the waist up I think cigar smoke does a pretty good job keeping the little bastards away.
