Chef Benny flung a craving on me. No yellow bands in the humidor but this Bully is a great cigar.

I went back to the fancy cigar store today and bought two more Undercrown Shade sticks.

Smoking a UnderCrown Shade and drinking a Coors Banquet beer. I've expanded my back patio back in June and I think this is the first time sitting back here and enjoying it.

In the garage smoking a Antonio Gimenez stick I grabbed from the box pass and enjoying the rain & breeze. Laughing my ass off at the forecasters, the news, the mayor, the governor, and the people who bought into the hurricane hype. Hope they enjoy all the bottled water and ramen they stocked up on

Do you always cut a vee notch? I’ve tried it and I like it but seem to have settled on very gingerly cutting off the wrap layer at the very end, like a thirty second or so. Not much more than the thickness of the leaf.

As far as cuts are concerned I think all full time cigar smokers should have every cutter available. Keeps it interesting and you get the opportunity to collect a bunch of stuff.

It really depends on what I have close at hand. Probably around 50/50 on the vee or the punch. I keep my sharp regular cutters for slicing rope

I snagged a great cutter from the last pass . It was a combo v / regular cutter [ I think ] ... I forget where I put it but when I find it ill use it on a Punch Gran Puro I bought a couple days ago . Havent had a Gran Puro yet . I pretty much dig Punch products , so Im looking forward to it

I started a Fuente Churchill then decided to mow the lawn. It's awaiting my return in the ashtray.
