Punch

This morning I spent an hour cutting the lawn and feeling sad about my last cigar. (The Oliva Serie G that died on me...) I usually make it a point not to do more than 1 every few weeks/months so I don't get addicted.

But, dagnabbit! I was robbed!

After the "G" disaster I went to the store and bought several cigars that I never had before. My goal is to test them out and see what I really like.

After cutting the lawn, I dropped down on the deck, lit up the pictured "Punch", and started blogging about terrorists.

This baby lasted over an hour and was pretty good. I'm no Cigar Aficionado, but I do subscribe to the magazine. (Thanks to Scot and DeAnn - It was my Christmas gift last year along with a Humidor...)

Oliva Serie G

I typically cherish the products created by the Oliva family but I did not have much luck with the "Serie G" the other day. My typical cigar enjoying style is to take a drag, do stuff for a few minutes, take another drag, do more stuff, repeat...

I'm not sure what was going on but I had to make 5 to 6 rescue attempts to keep this one lit. Attempt 7 was a failure and I lost over half of the cigar. (I don't re-light. Even with the recommended re-lighting techniques, cigars are never the same after going out...)

I've had good luck with the V and the O. Maybe I was keeping the cigar down longer than I realized... It's worth another try at a later date... This picture was taken 2 days later in the morning. What you see is the remainder. There's plenty left...
