    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Old Henry Runt tonight. A Holt's house brand petit corona. It was the last in my humi....for now.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thank you, Bart. I am no less happy with the hat now that I know its correct color name than I was the day I opened the box thinking it was oxblood.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    You are correct. My Optimo black cherry is a more formal hat, ie wider ribbon, bound brim, traditional bow, but that could be easily remedied by changing the design of the hat. I don't think the color itself dictates a dress hat or a more casual hat.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    That pretty much sums it up according to Art. I believe Art's comment in Monteagle was something to the effect of "They can call it anything they want, but that's black cherry." Of course, I will yield to Art's comments and corrections here if he chooses. I still really like my Optimo...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Interestingly, when Art saw my "oxblood" Public Enemies hat, he insisted it isn't oxblood at all but black cherry. Having seen the two colors side by side, I'm now a believer and I agree with Art.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    +1 on the Cain maduro. I bought two last March and smoked one. I thought that one was pretty harsh. The second sat in my humidor until September when I decided to give it another try. I was surprised and pleased at the results of six months humidor time. Now I have a box aging and getting ready...

    I've found that age treats the Cain maduros very well. I would suggest putting a few of them back for six months or so. Seems to age a lot of the harshness out of them.

    A heartfelt thank you to my family on The Fedora Lounge

    I shot John an e-mail and he said that CJ has been sending him e-mail jokes so he thinks he's doing ok, but he hasn't talked to him in a while.

    A heartfelt thank you to my family on The Fedora Lounge

    Indycop was keeping in touch with CJ sporadically, but he hasn't been around much lately either. I'll shoot him an e-mail to see if he knows anything.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    We went to Iowa this weekend to visit our nephew at school. I had several cigars: an RP Cuban Blend maduro, a La Traviata maduro and a Perdomo Patriarch maduro. The last two were quite good, but the RP is still up for grabs. We'll see after the next.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Two more beauties, DRB and RLK. I received felt samples in the mail from Tiffani today. I asked for browns and received ten or twelve of them. I have a rust long coat I'm looking for a match for, and oddly the burnt orange is the closest. I'm surprised, as I saw the burnt orange there last...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    The Le Bijou is a bit fuller, but I think they will age better.

    May I suggest trying the My Father Le Bijou? Both are very good, but I prefer the Le Bijou.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Very nice Borso, Alan. They are a joy to wear with that thin and comfortable felt. I love the color of that one.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Very nice, Herzen. The look suits you well, and despite the fantastic ribbon work Art does, I still like the traditional bow.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I have often thought of trying Lagavulin, but I usually prefer to fuller flavor of a younger bottle. Tonight I had a 601 Green Tronco, a very nice full flavored cigar.
