Summer is in full effect now in IL. Had this Henry Runt on the porch as a sort of meditation break. Hope all are doing well!

Re: Cigar of the day 2020
Well I enjoyed an Undercrown in Toro last night it was just so so..........until I pulled the 5" long, 2mm stem out of the middle of it. WOW what a differenct that makes. Went from little smoke and needing a double puff to a pleathera(yeah I used that word) of smoke in a single puff. Flavors went up in body. WHY is it so hard to find good QC in cigars these days? Rant Over......................

Re: Cigar of the day 2020
I've been smoking up the last few 'special' cigars I've held on to for years. This one was called the 'Big B', named for a guy in PA named Barry who makes the Fuentes' plastic cigar molds. Apparently, he was shaped a bit bigger toward the foot than the head. Anyway, Carlito had 50 or so of them made for one of the CFC gatherings (2012-2013ish IIRC). I've had it so long because its size is intimidating for the Opus blend to a nicotine wimp like myself. I don't have a tool with me, but the widest part is of considerable more girth than a 60.

Re: Cigar of the day 2020
Dug through the cooler and found the absolute last one of these Gringo on Safari Robustos from Mike's blender event way back in 2017. I guess that makes this 3 years rolled which would be about the time a cigar would be released to sell on a shelf normally unless it is a fresh roll.
The cigar started with Buttery notes and some cream. Then rounded into some coffee notes and spice. It finished with that spice on the retro while maintaining a creamy-ness to the smoke. At least that is how my palate or lack thereof found it to be. It was an absolute treat to see/taste a cigar of varying ages of maturity over 3 years. Thanks for the experience Casa Trompeta!
