I posted in ways as well but I’m puffing on this micallef grande bold. I feel like Winston Churchill this is a big one for sure. I’m pretty impressed with everything that I’ve tried from micallef thus far.

It had a little pig tail cap. This is what it looks like when punched out. It's an amusing image if you use your imagination.

This is a tale of two oaks. One that survived the winter storm and one that did not.

Yup. I see it, too.

I know these are quality from the manufacturer but they were both caca from cbid. I'll pick one up from a b&m for one last go. I like them. I'd like them better if they smoked the way they were intended to.

I don’t like it when they unravel or split. I’ve heard that they will do that if it’s very humid, but I don’t really know why it happens. I really hate it if it’s an expensive cigar. I’ll add this, $1.50 bundle cigars almost never unravel. Go figure!

That inexpensive reliability really is all that it's cracked up to be. I'm not against handmades. I appreciate their flavor. I prefer machine mades. A good machine made has all the flavor it should have and a good machine made cigar is rolled to withstand a mortar barrage.

Yeah I'm right there with you. I'm gonna give those Finks a try real soon. I'm bougey I guess I like the hand rolled stuff. Lol.

I will give the Fincks/Finks a try real soon. I like the idea of a good budget cigar just as much as the next man. I also like feeling fancy! Lol.

These are the sticks I've had over the past few weekends at the door while getting paid to look tough.
