AJ Fernandez is my favorite blender.

Ray have you tried Yuengling's Golden Pilsner?  I think you might like it.

Tried it Tim, but I'm not a Pilsner fan -- too "hoppy" tasting for my palate. I enjoy the darker malty stouts, ales, and light wheats the most.

The first time I had it I said "that's Miller lite" as it tastes exactly like it. I knew it would be a big hit with that crowd.

Your tastes aren't much different from mine. Im kids all over the place but I like beers with body. Stouts, ales, bock's, lagers.  I've had enough IPAs to gotten used to them to enjoy one but two and I loose my liking for them.

I'm honestly willing to try just about any beer once. Some surprise you and are nothing like the typical Brew style they are

Perfect example for aging Cuban cigars. These La Flor De Cano are everyday cigars - not ultra premium. When fresh they taste a bit harsh and have a single woodsy flavor, but when aged for three years, they become sweet, aromatic, and a smooth as silk. I love these little Petit Coronas - age them and they become gems.

Put new brakes on momma’s car and now it’s time to relax. Snowing outside but the porch is toasty - great time for a strong coffee with Bailey’s Irish Cream and a mild/medium cigar. Watching the world go by - good time to be retired!

Did you retire Ray?
MAGA

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

Pretty much Bob! I don't travel anymore, and now most of the work I do are small jobs here and there at my own choosing, and all are done from home. It's just enough work to slowly withdraw from a 9-5 schedule, and hopefully by next year we will have moved down south to a permanent retirement home. 

Given the state of politics and turmoil in the Old Dominion, we decided to move further down into Dixie -- LOL

People always ask me - “what is the best cigar for a beginner?” Well, there is no such cigar; everyone has a different taste. That said, this one comes close - Baccarat. In this case a Belicoso sized stick. Easy draw, smooth taste, light to medium strength. Plus the tip is flavored slightly sweet. Not too expensive either.

AVO Domaine - a small figurado vitola that makes a perfect afternoon coffee break smoke. Lots of spice and pepper along with some woody notes. I like spice - hence for me it’s a great smoke.

Thanks for the suggestion Jabber - great cigar line

Didn't know A.J. was the blender for that cigar. Makes sense though -- A.J. cigars are usually spicy; that's why I like his cigars.
