August 24, 201511 yr Smoked half of a Flor de las Antilles My Father cigar the other night. Sealed it up and just pulled it out for a front porch smoke on this fabulous day. It taste fantastic and that makes me very happy.
August 24, 201511 yr Went out to Strauss on Saturday. They had a guy hand rolling cigars. Bought half a dozen. First one was fantastic.
August 25, 201511 yr Strauss is overpriced but that would be cool to see. I agree on overpriced. Don't normally buy there anymore but if you have ever had a fresh handrolled, not many things better.
August 27, 201511 yr Been changing oil, filters, belts, brakes, etc on all of the CWF (and CWF kid's) vehicles the last few days. Love smoking a cigar while I'm tinkering on things outside. Over the last few days I've had a Sosa Belicoso , a La Aurora 1495 Churchill, and a La Perla Black Pearl Belicoso. Had a few of cold beers too.
August 27, 201511 yr I haven't had any Owl but I hear it is quality stuff! Dear Friends of The Owl, We’re delighted to announce the release of our second batch of handcrafted Kentucky Owl Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Batch #2 will be released exclusively in Kentucky and sold at fine retailers and dining establishments. It is now in the hands of our distributors. We have been alerted that it will reach stores the first week of September. Creating this round has been just as exciting as making our inaugural batch, and we can't wait to share it with you. Batch #2 is another Barrel Proof expression: a carefully selected blend of 6 Barrels (3 Char 4 and 3 Char 5) chosen for their character and readiness for bottle. Our process involved experimenting with the contents of 9 of our favorite barrels over the course of this past year, and the subsequent blending of over two dozen combinations from which to make our final selection. All of those samples were interesting, many were tempting, but our final selection was simply head and shoulders above the rest. This Second Release shares the same long and lingering spicy, cinnamon and peppery finish as Batch #1 , but with more age on it; and the addition of more of the sweeter notes from the Char 4 barrels gives it an initial honeyed tone on the front of the palate. It starts smooth, creamy and rich with nice buttery and sweet red fruit notes before developing into the big, bold finish that you expect from Kentucky Owl. 2015 Kentucky Owl Batch #2 is 117.2 proof / 58.6 % alcohol by volume. Once again, Kentucky Owl will only be released in Kentucky. We don’t know who gets it, nor do we know how much they each get, but we do know that there are 1380 bottles in this release. We wish you happy hunting. There are great things in store for the future of the Wise Man’s bourbon. In the meantime, we think you’ll agree that the second batch is an in-depth expression of the full-flavored Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon you’ve already come to expect from Kentucky Owl. And we think we’ve done our founder, C.M. Dedman, proud.

September 11, 201511 yr CI did a 2fer last Tuesday on their Brown Bag Special. It's usually 10 for $20, but this time was 20 for $20. I've never done one of the don't-know-what-it-is samplers, I've heard a lot of negative. In this case I was pleasantly pleased. Cohiba, Pinar, Bahia, Ave Maria, La Herencha

September 14, 201511 yr Smoked an Alec Bradley Sun Grown with some bourbon today. Had glass of William Wolf Pecan bourbon. I must say it was tasty.
September 14, 201511 yr How often do they have these? They run the "Brown Bag" 10 for $20 all the time. They run some sort of 2fer every Tuesday. They run a daily deal everyday. This one can change several times a day as they sell out. There is a weekend spotlight every weekend. If you type SP-C in the search bar you'll see all other specials.

September 16, 201511 yr That's the same one (or close to it) you suggestwed for me back in the summer. All of those were pretty good. I order that one just about every time they run it. Awful hard to beat it.
September 16, 201511 yr I order that one just about every time they run it. Awful hard to beat it. Especially for $10. Hell I usually pay close to $ at the local place for a RP Sun Grown.
