La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial #5 tonight, a souvenir from our trip to Jacksonville in Sept. The last one I had, and I smoked it until it was too hot to hold. It's box purchase material.
Yes. I've had a few Decades, 1990's, 1992's, Sungrowns around for a while, and I've bought fairly heavily into the Spring Collection. Of those, I much prefer to Springs, but the others are better now than they were when they arrived here.
Tom sent me e-mails today with before and after pics of what he was able to do with a vintage Stetson panama. It's very impressive how he can clean up a beater and block it to a practically new hat. The pics he sent happened to be of a hat my size too. Hmmmm, I wonder if that was a coincidence...
I've been wearing it in the house, getting psyched for a float to the Carribean in Feb. Might be a bit cool for it outside here, but it won't be there. ;)
Sam and I are close. We try to visit often. :D
This ribbon is 2" wide. I was thinking yours is narrower, but I could be wrong. It's been a while since I've seen yours. It very well could be the same.
There's likely an Optimo milan in my future. I tried one on when I was up there, and they're so much softer and nicer than the two I have.
Thank you, Karl. You are an inspiration for this ribbon. As I recall you have a milan from Optimo Hats that has a ribbon not too terribly different from this one.
I haven't seen you on the lounge much in a while. Good to see you back, and I hope all is well with you.
A new montecristi arrived at our house yesterday.
I bought the unfinished hat from Robert Weber who suggested two people who would be able to finish it for me. I requested that he send it to a gentleman who has been blocking panamas for a fairly short time and one whose work I had seen...
I wish you the best success on your 2010 project. They can't all come to my house, so I'd like to see them go to someone who appreciates them and loves them as much as I do.
This evening I added a CAO La Triviata to the day. Very spicy start but then mellowed into a quite good smoke. It was recommended by my friend, IC. Thanks.
