Do we need to post that pic of you again to remind everyone how bad the Gorilla Finger is, Paul? Swishers are NOT even close to them!!!

Re: Super Bowl XLV!!!
 

Scott, read my review of a Swisher and you will have an idea of what is waiting for you. Only thing is that it was worse than my review, didn't want to get suspended for language and scaring children.:r:r:r

Re: Super Bowl XLV!!!
 

I can only imagine. I like grape, so there's that. I'd probably be better off eating it than smoking it.

Re: Super Bowl XLV!!!
 

Scott, I cannot do it. I cannot make you smoke a grape Swisher. I will post picks up tomorrow, but I didn't smoke a '26 #35 maduro, I smoked a natural. So... If you just want to smoke a, umm, a JJ Maduro - that will be sufficient.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

That right there is true Christian mercy. ;)

Thanks for that, Todd. Beit as it may, I'm smoking that filthy Swisher, at least up till I puke. A bet is a bet, ya know?
Now I just have to find one. I think they have them at our convenience stores here, I'll put it on my shopping list.
Once I find it, we're gonna have to wait till I find somewhere I can smoke it. That might take till the weather breaks a bit, or when I go to Punta Cana in February. I'd just go ahead and smoke it in the garage, but it's too cold, and I might have to burn my garage down afterwards. :D

So, I was supposed to get a picture of me smoking a Padron '26 #35. It was supposed to be a maduro, but went for the natural instead. Forgive me!

Anyway, was supposed to post some pics.

Good-looking stick. What a great size with that wondeful box press. But I gotta say, the Padron wrappers and not the prettiest.

First, this was an incredible smoke. After already having had a couple other cigars, I did think that maybe it wouldn't be as full-bodied as I normally think of them. Wooooops! That was a wrong idea. Incredibly powerful for such a little stick. It was "all that" right from the get go and kept it till nubbed. Rich and bold flavor, some spice and wonderful complexity with some citrus, cedar, and leather notes.

Yes, it truly is enjoyable. And watching Pawn Stars and Pickers with 14holestogie and CoreyD was comical. Corey was the photographer who chronicled this for you.

Way to go Packers! Thanks for the excuse to have a couple great smokes.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Did I read that right?? Scott, did you say you need a Grape Swisher?? Well, I'll bet someone can take care of that for you. I'd hate for you to have to go shopping for one when a box of them could magically show up at your doorstep. :lr

Re: Super Bowl XLV!!!
 

Looks like Titletown to me. I showed up after the game, stayed home and watched it with the wife. However, I did celebrate after the game with a 1989 Cuban Dunhill followed by a Don Carlos Anniversario. It was a good night all the way around.

Re: Super Bowl XLV!!!
 

Where else would true Packer fans go to have a cigar if they are near Green Bay.

Thought about coming out Sunday night to watch the game there, but decided against it. How many Super Bowls will the Packers be in and in which I be able to sit and watch with my sons? Hopefully, when they are old enough, they'll say, "Hey dad, why don't we go watch the Super Bowl at Titletown so we can enjoy a fine cigar wathing the Packers beat the ______?"

Till that time, I think it was great to be home with my sons and watch the game, high-5ing, cheering, and biting our fingernails together.

So, Tim, Corey, and I ended up over there on Monday for a bit.

One of these times I'll run into you there.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Rabid Fans!!

Where else would you find a capacity crowd in single digit temps welcoming the team. Shoot, they were even tailgaiting since early in the morning. Picture from the celebration this afternoon.
