So besides my initial foray here, I've been posting at cigar forums across the net since before the turn of the century.

After my period(s) of unemployment as somewhat documented in earlier posts I landed a job in spring 0f '04 that lasted quite awhile. Matter of fact, I just changed jobs voluntarilry just a few weeks back.

At any rate my last job allowed me to travel extensively in Europe and South America.

As such, I had begun a cigar travelogue on a couple of forums: international cigar club and vintage cigar club.

I'm going to bring excepts of those posts here in the event you stumble across this without having frequented those other sites.

BTW, today's been fairly cigar heavy already. I started with a Trinidad Fundadore while putting away the Christmas lights. A bud of mine dropped by so I slipped him a Monte #4 while I polished off the Fundy.

We poured up a couple of Beantinis (martini with jalapeno-pickled green beans) concocted with Skyy 90 - the premium vodka entry from this particular distiller.

Upon extinguishing the starter smokes we fired up a couple of the Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos. An awesome little powerhouse of a smoke released this year. A couple more Beantinis were called for so of course we obliged ourselves.

As I write, I'm burning a Punch SS#1 (can't find the #2's anymore - shame). Enjoying this with a cuppa joe while the chicken's finishing in the Schlemmertopf.
