First stick of the night. Not my cup of tea, but it was free so who am I to complain? Pairs nicely with a dram of Elmer T Lee.

Thought this info on the history of some of our favorite cigar brand names was worth a share....
What's in a brand name?

I don't think so.
Nope, dick weeds at FDA said they didn't meet syandards, and the thaw ended with the sonic attack, so you have to go to Canada to get Cuban cigars.

A good friend of mine was able to travel to Cuba Last month. He brought me back 3 sticks which were rolled by Reynaldo in Havana.
Reynaldo has been rolling here since 1999 and the shop itself is an attraction, it's unlike any other but the cigars themselves are sought after because of their diversity in vitolas and liga.
Reynaldo's cigars have never been for the weak, they've always been known to put you on your butt. While some places roll cigars for the masses, this shop always rolled for the experienced Aficionado.

This is a pretty comprehensive look at many of the sticks we smoke. Thought you guys might find it interesting. 2018 CA REPORT: TOP CIGAR BRANDS YOU SHOULD KNOW (AND WHY) — Cigar Advisor
Having a bourbon and cigar night tonight. Trying to find a few new sticks I haven't had yet. Ill be pairing most likely with Kentucky Owl Rye batch 01. Its hot and spicy. I like full bodied and feel one is needed to taste through. Any fan favorites?
