Update: I bought some NUB Connecticut wrappers. I'm a fan. They are now top of the list for my "driving cigars".

Smoked a big fat Gurkha Centurian double perfecto last night. Paired it with a ruby port.

Visited Party Source and picked up a Duran Batavia. It's a 454, with a Nicaraguan filler and Ecuadorian criolla wrapper. It's labeled as an everyday gar and at $3.50 it's a steal. Can't find them online but I see a box purchase in my future.

I just noticed auto correct changed the name of the cigar. It's a Duran Baracoa.

Gurkhas are like playing Russian roulette. I've had some truly good ones, and some have been among the worst I've ever smoked. The problem is there is just so many of them. On the other hand, there's always a deal to be had, so you never have to pay full price, which is usually super high. I've been burnt several times though, enough that I wont buy them regardless of how good the price is.

I have a very modest cigar collection but I have one of the very best bourbon contemporary collections in the state 250+ rare/premium bourbons and growing every week. If it had been released in the last 5 years I have it!

Just collector's items or will you crack one open on occasion?

I have about 40 that I will never open the rest we drink and a many of the very rare ones like Pappy I get 2 of so keep one drink one it's bourbon Disneyland at my basement bar!

To be honest, I purchased the Petel's for smoking while I'm driving a distance. I don't normally smoke them at home.

 

I like Elijah Craig, but I really like the Barrel Proof. It has a very nice flavor, I do dilute it some, it's 128 proof. But a little water really opens it up with great flavor. Plus, having to add water makes a bottle last a good while. I am normally a straight and neat guy, but I do add water to the barrel proof.

 

I have two bottles of this one is 128 proof the other is a mind blowing 140 proof! It's good stuff !

Recently had the Parker's Wheat. One of the hottest bourbons I've ever had.

 

That is one of my absolute favorites!

Perfect evening for a smoke.

I really enjoy that one. I had a Patel Catch 22 last night. I love Nicaraguan puros but the 22 is a mix of all types.
