So what will you do today?
Or - if writing tomorrow - what did you do yesterday?

First day for ages when there are no planned anythings on the page.

My missus, my two boys and I will walk along the sea-front from my house into Deal where we will eat MASSIVE fried breakfasts in a pier-facing cafe. An occasional favourite haunt where the portions are substantial. Great tea there, too.

We will wander back and do things around the house. I shall mark about 20 candidates' exams today in the shack. (Will go up to 220/500. I'm winning!). At the same time - or maybe a bit later like the deferred-sex thing - I shall enjoy a Juan Lopez No2.

I shall feel like a pig in shit. I'm in exactly the right mood for one, and the shack and house smoking context bundle package ambiance will make it a wonderful wonderful smoke.

A good day in prospect. :biggrin1:

Hope you enjoy mate.I feel somewhat calmer after my rant in relation to proactive, silent running and HSE earlier, and I am heading off into the sunset with my chocolate milk shake and my Siglo V.

A joy to behold.:smoke:

Well, I'm going to wander down to Jephson Park Gardens in Leamington for a morning smoke and a coffee by the lake. Don Tomas Corona Grande will be the weapon of choice for the day...

Sod all to do here. Rip out a SSD from the laptop which was on loan from OCZ. Play squash. Watch the play off final. Weather looks crap here, so not much else on.

On loan!? Lucky git. I'm thinking of putting a small one in my MSI Wind.

I have no plans. I'm currently still in bed with a cup of tea. Bit overcast here so I'm not inclined to get up any time soon. My lady is back in the country so I expect I'll have an excitable phone call later!

sadly the grass needs cut, which will be deservedly followed up by a magico maduro 5!

Senors Kdot and Whisky,

I've only tried the secreto, which I simply love, abiet a bit expensive. How would you compare the other formats to the secreto?:41:

:ciao:Howdy folks, My name is :lol:Ray Jay, Ray Jay Coro, and I'm posting without :bandit:TJ's permission while the rest of the Coros take a holiday to Grand Cayman. Please don't mention this to :bandit:TJ, :shocked:BJ, or :girl: CJ, our lovely sister. They would tan me hide and ban me arse to the land of the lost up north if they find out.

Welcome back Amigo, How i missed your schoolboy taunts :tongue:
Never tried the secreto, I prefer the the bigger ring gauge...

the magico comes with kdots stamp of approval so feel free to treat yourself :biggrin1: It is full of flavour with notes of pecan and gets even better towards the end (and miles better than any Monte no 2:tongue:).

Only quibble with the magico is that it could last longer so would go for the genious next time, apart from that its almost perfect 8.5/10.

Agree with Kdot on the Genios, I have a box of the Genios sitting doing nothing in the humidor and I think I will prefer them as they are slightly longer.I would say that the complete Maduro range seems more potent than the likes of the Cohiba Robusto or the Siglo IV.

I smoked a Siglo V this morning and it bares absolutely no resemblance taste wise to the Maduros IMO.I am not saying that one is any better than the other, it`s just that they are completely different smokes.

You make a good point Whisky, I feel like that about the maduros too and also with the Cohiba El's. Almost Like they're made by a different brand. I guess its a nice surprise as they're a quality smoke.

Thanks for the infromation,:kev: Mr Kdot. The secreto is a excellent puro, but I will try the bigger brother on yours and:cheers: senor Booze's recommendation.

BTW, I'm :lol: Ray Jay, Ray Jay Coro, RJ for short, and I'm :bandit: TJ's older and cooler brother:cool:! So I'm not sure what your reference to the "Monty #2" is about....must be something between :kev:you and :bandit:TJ,

Howdy muchachos! My name is :lol:Ray Jay, Ray Jay Coro, and you can call me Ray, and you can call me Jay, and you can call me Ray Jay - just don't call me Mr. Ray Jay!
