Jdn Red. Boring......

Found a new shop here in Chicago called Up Down Cigars right in Old Town. Great staff and you can smoke inside.

Started with a CAO LX2 Lancero, not really that great. Got really harsh in the second half and I was trying to smoke real slow.

Decided to follow that up with something from Fuente, as they never let me down. Went with an 888 Anejo on the suggestion of the clerk, and damn is it good so far.

Since we are having a CAO event tonight at the shop. I picked up a CAO Amazon Basin last night to try.....wasn't impressed.

Haven't had one today, yet.... But the last couple days I've had a padron 1926, a 1964 (which was my first and now I can't decide which one I like better.), a bone crusher and a 2 year old Oliva Serie V.

Was able to enjoy a La Libertad robusto yesterday after work during the warm day. It's back to sub freezing temperatures now. No smoking until tomorrow if it's not to crazy on the roads and I can make it to the lounge.

Dentist appointment tomorrow so going to inspire her with my cigar breath from a Casa Magna Dominus II. I envy her.

Last night I walked into the CAO event and was handed the new Colombian......I really enjoyed this stick, there was a nice sweetness and creaminess to it.....will be picking up a fiver of these.

Illusione 88 robusto with coffee this morning.

601 Blue Robusto

Smoked a Espinosa today thanks to DMK from the NST back a year ago. Had one before that didn't do me anything but this one was much much better. Perhaps it just needed a bit of rest.

Thanks brother

Room 101 NH beautiful construction and burn. Great smoke and beautiful intro to the 101 brand
