was relaxing hard on the deck today and decided to fire up a upmann cuban.
Monday I was awakened with phone calls informing me that our department was being furloughed/laid off.
I found this evening and the cuban to be very reflective.

Puffing on a Camacho(11/18). Used to smoke these all the time waaaaay back in the day when I first got into sticks. Still love em. This one has been sitting in the humi for well over a year.
I’ve noticed that a lot of the sticks that stay in the humi for an extended period of time, become very smooth- ZERO bite. But with that , and I might be crazy, but the flavor profiles seem to become a bit muted. Outside of Cubans, I’m starting to wonder if it’s a double edged sword having sticks in the humi for a really long time. This thing is tasting eerily similar to the Drew estate pig I posted earlier on this thread. It’s like some sticks shift over to a universal flavor profile the longer they sit. Puzzling

HONDURAN GOVERNMENT ORDERS CIGAR FACTORIES CLOSED AS OF WEDNESDAY
Cigar factories in Honduras are preparing for a second wave of closures after the government has ordered them to be shuttered as of Wednesday due to a flare up of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Several manufacturers have confirmed the news to halfwheel, and NCI-Danli, a news organization in the area, posted on its Facebook page that both the city of Danlí and the district of El Paraiso would be returning to “la fase cero,” Spanish for zero phase, on July 22. According to the the report, which specifically mentioned that cigar factories would be closing, zero phase means that only pharmacies, supermarkets, and gas stations will be open. Canal 24 Danlí, a local television station, added that the agronomy industry will also be allowed to continue operating.
Danlí is the home of the Honduran cigar industry, located in the southern part of the country, about 65 miles northwest of Estelí, the main home of the Nicaraguan industry. Last year, the U.S. imported 60.3 million cigars from Honduras.
Several manufacturers have already confirmed to halfwheel that they have either begun closing or will be doing so in the coming days.
Oscar Valladares said that he closed his factory in Danlí this past Monday due to the growing prevalence of COVID-19 cases in the area, and so far is the first to confirm closing ahead of the requirement.
George Rico of Gran Habano said that he is preparing to close down tomorrow, July 18, after getting word from local officials that a shutdown was set to be announced. Rico said that he was told that the mandated closure will last for at least 15 days, adding that the last time he was told that, it ended up being between seven and eight weeks.
Dr. Gaby Kafie of Kafie 1901 Cigars, along with Nish Patel of Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, which operates out of Plasencia’s El Paraiso factory, both confirmed that their respective companies would be suspending operations in Honduras as of Wednesday as news of the announcement began circulating.
This is the second government-mandated closure in Honduras this year, the first coming in March as the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic began to hit the area. That closure happened with just six confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country, but that number stands at 30,867 cases as of Friday evening—including the president of the country—with 835 confirmed deaths.

Yes, cigars sitting in a humidor for an extended time smooths out a cigar. Really good observation. I would like for you to go into more detail if you don’t mind. I think this subject can help out a lot in this thread. It will definitely be a teaching moment. Thank you for posting your initial observation. Silver ashes.Puffing on a Camacho(11/18).

That 1964 Anniversary series Padron is nice. I love that cigar. Shit, I stay away from the 1926 Anniversary series Padron. That muthfucka is so smooth, but that muthfucka has some power behind it. Man, I use to try to smoke those joints on my lunch break and would get lightheaded. Lol. I was like, nah son, if I got something to do like go back to work I ain’t messin with that stick. I love that joint though, but in my humble opinion the 64 is better because it doesn’t sneak up on you. Lol.
I said the same thing 25 years ago (dang time flies). MJ, Charles Barkley and golf are the reasons I picked up a cigar and it paired well with Hennessy. My ex-wife didn’t like me smoking cigars so I enjoyed them maybe a couple of times a year. Then I got a divorce in 2012 and was puffin 3x a day ever since. If it makes you feel better I haven’t had a cigar in 2 months. I chill out ever so often. And remember this...cigars are a want and cigarettes are a need.
See you up in this thread showin off. Lol. Good shit, my dude. Smoke good, feel good. Silver ashes.Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Robusto Maduro

Man, I went back and bought two more. One of the best smokes I had in a while. Slow burn too.
Thanks & the same to you.. Nothing like a good cigar, last night I was just going thru pics & decided to post a few..lol My lady smokes also so we're always hitting the shops & just set up humidor #4. Thinking about having one build into the wall.
It's nice when your girl blazes with you. It's definitely a good look to be able to chill with your significant other like that instead of her nagging about the smoke. Lol. You're lucky.
Edit: Let us know how the wall humidor goes if you decide to do it. That will be nice.
Yeah man some of my boys continually catch the blues from their ladies over the cigars..lol
Wife doesn’t mind when it smells good. Can definitely say I had some that burned horribly. Recent selection has had more bearable notes and I light a Nag Champa up with it.
Wish I had a chance to hit something like that up. Might be a loooong time before that comes around again now. Dope spot if you ever in LA,
