This world and most people in it move way too fast! Everyone needs to learn to slow down, take a breath and focus! Thats why I love my "Me Time" it really puts Everything into the right perspective! Remember to take time for your Most Important investment... your Sanity!

Came across some Rojas “Street Tacos Cinco de Mayo” (2024)… and it looked like they were just trying to get rid of them. You already know I had to grab a few. Always interesting when you find stuff like this sitting around — sometimes those turn out to be sleepers. Anyone had this one before? 💨

Tonight, the pace changes. I’m slowing things down with a Diamond Crown Classic from J.C. Newman and a swig of Crown Royal. The week has been a blur of work, deadlines for school papers, farm chores, and keeping the garden in check. It’s easy to get caught up in the "to-do" list and forget to look around at the life you're actually building. ​This isn't just about a great smoke or a smooth pour; it’s an intentional choice to stop and appreciate the results of the hard work. Sometimes the small things—the quiet of the evening, the perfect draw of a cigar—are exactly what we overlook when we’re moving too fast. ​Cheers to finding those moments of stillness. Stay smoky, everyone. 🥃💨

So lately I have been getting into some Habano sticks. This La Palina Bronze Label Habano is so smooth! I have had, previously, some Habano smokes that are quite peppery! This one is complex and at about an inch in she really opened up to some toasty sandalwood and spice but very enjoyable!

Wow, deep thoughts, huh? That phrase "life is short" is something I embrace in everything I do. I don't drink mediocre coffee, bad whiskey or smoke blah cigars. On that last one, I have done that too many times. Bought 5 packs because they were cheap. In the last year, with @DaVon Walker 's urging, I have expanded my horizons with the brands, styles and selection that I choose to smoke. Too long I looked at price and justified mediocre flavor as value. Now, as I continue to expand my cigar collection, I'm doing so with the mindset of enjoying not just the experience of the cigar, which I always have, but what the cigar adds to the moment through flavor notes, aromas and taste, increasing the enjoyment of the moment. Life is too short to smoke mediocre cigars.
