Re: 2026 MKE Herf - The Excellent Herf
We never have it on Father's Day weekend. Other than that, you're not allowed to book anything in June until after the Herf is locked in.

Looks like some cool, hip tobacco. How does it taste? Is that the blend that's stoved Luxury Bullseye Flake?
I'm really enjoying the HU Makhuwa, it's got an enjoyable, deep flavor.
It's a KBV blend, I think stoved luxury bullseye flake is probably an apt description, I'm liking it a lot.

Good morning Shawn, Todd and those to come.
The maduro is not my jam. I’ve been trying to find a maduro I like and I just don’t care for em.What did you think of the Tabernacle you recently smoked?
I actually liked this one better than the tabernacle maduro. The tabernacle I had yesterday though I freaking loved!

Not all Maduro are created equally. There is US Broadleaf, Mexican San Andres, Nicaraguan ETC… Maduro(ing) is a process, (Sorry @ScotchnSmoke). Keep track of the leaf you do and do not like. That will help guide future purchases. The Charter Oak is a Connecticut Broadleaf that might just not be in your wheelhouse at the moment.
That’s a very good point! I do like the serie g maduro and the nica libre too
This is the funny thing about cigars. The Tabernacle you loved and the Charter Oak you didn’t are both Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrappers, grown by the same guy, blended by the same guy, and made in the same factory.
They’re completely different tasting cigars though. I don’t care for the charter oak either but really enjoy the tabernacle. The big differences in the two are that they have a different binder and what I’m guessing is not as long of a maturation process for the wrapper on the charter oak.
The more you dive into it, start making notes of combinations (wrapper, binder, filler, blender, factory, country of origin for tobacco) and you can more easily narrow down what you’re looking for when you go looking for something new to smoke.
Just don’t pass on cigars that have maduro wrappers. You’ll find they vary greatly and you’ll miss a lot of really good smokes.
Or the other thing you can do is just smoke AJ's stuff. It doesn't suck.

Room 101 Teufel Hund Habano Gordo with Papa's Pilar Dark Rum. The cigar tastes like... regret.

Re: The useless information thread
Thanks, Chris. This seemed to me to be improbable AI slop; but no, it's true.
Tennessee Proposed Bill SB2086
For our folks in TN, please call your legislators about opposing SB2086
In particular line:
“57-8-111. Delivery sales prohibited.
All sales of tobacco products must be conducted in-person in the licensed
location. It is unlawful for a licensed tobacco product retailer or the retailer's agents or
employees to sell, offer for sale, or deliver a tobacco product to a consumer in a manner
