Wow what a break, I ran my hole off and smoked a few (alot) cigars, but you know what, it was awesome #noragrettes haha
This this first batch of pics are pre-Christmas pairings.
Sadly I am almost at the end of my Highland Park 12. Will have to reup with a new bottle for sure as it is one of my favorites, hint of smoke and full of carmel and spice goodness. I paired it with the Comacho American Barrel Aged, because I wanted a scotch that wasnt going to clash with smokiness as I have never had this cigar before. I freaking loved this cigar, I think I may be an infused junkie. It has such a great flavor, the tobacco has been aged in bourbon barrels which gives this stick a boozy hit but not in drunk uncle making you a strong drink at a christmas party way. Subtle but present. Definately on my to get again list. If you havent tried an infused cigar, this would be a good one to start with. 
Next up was Room 101's Daruma. Now I normally dont go in for shorter sticks, cause if I am going to brave the elements or run a bunch of kms I want to have a good long smoke. I was pleasently suprised with this cigar, it had a great burn time of about 50 minutes and the ash didnt fall apart in the wind. Initial flavors were coffee, cocoa and mild spice. Couple hits of ceder every now and again which was nice to expereince. For the price point it was a very nice cigar.
Okay this next pairing was pretty awesome. Spindrifts Abyss and Alpha Cigar Company's Defuser. The beer was incredible. Such a clean taste, with all that burnt carmel and hops taste one would want from a dark beer. But very light and not heavy at all. A perfect match for the Defuser. This cigar is the uninfused version of Absinthe infused cousin by Alpha Cigars. It completely stands alone on its construction and flavor without the absinthe. On a quick check on thier website you can see my pic above on thier social media feed - how cool is that! #superstar haha. I am really intrigued by how this cigar company started and am looking to try more of thier products. This came as a bonus cigar in the December Cigar Saveur box and pretty pumped it was. 
Next up was the SkullBreaker - Surrogates by L'Atelier and a Breton Brewery Stirling. This pairing was legit! The hoppy freshness of the Stirling with its little hit of banana on the finish was a great fit for the meaty Skullbreaker. This is a full bodied cigar with strong cocoa and espresso notes along with under currents of leather and spice. If I wasnt surrounded by mountains of snow, i could easily see myself in some tropical climate, relaxing with these two on the beach. But you would def need to keep pairing this cigar with something fresh as it was quite a heavy smoke. Enjoyed it, but dont know if I would search it out again.
Lastly in the pre-Christmas Catagory is the Cardhu 12yr and the Crowned Heads La Careme. I picked up a couple of these in an online order with Summit Cigars, and had been waiting to try this one.  The Cardhu was a great vehicle for this cigar, as I find Cardhu a real vehicle scotch. It is one of those middle of the flavor spectrum scotch that is sophisticated, and balenced. The La Careme was killer. It was so smooth, hits of chocolate, leather, toffee throughout. It was delicious, like eating a box of pot of gold without the calories and shame. Want more of these. ASAP. Like yesterday.
So that is it for pre-Christmas the next round will be Christmas to present. Seriously I ran 89km in two weeks so no judging!!!

​

Yeah, so a couple more pairings to add.
So Christmas morn, we were up fairly early, some of the family was off to church, I was in my kitchen getting my stuffing and turkey ready and all the veggies preped for dinner. Once that was complete I made a killer Bloody Mary and grabed my Warped Cigars Guardian of the Farm JJ and headed out to the cigar nook. I have never been a fan of bloody mary/caeser drinks. I am alergic to shellfish so never really had a caesar and the thought of vodka with tomato juice never really hit a chord with me. But I decided to give it a try a few months back and fell in love with it. Mine are not super spicy but enough that you know its there. The GoTF has been one that I have wanted to try for a while ( i think ever cigar is one that i have wanted to try for a while haha). It started with a ton of flavor earthy goodness and some cinnemon hits. It flavor changes about halfway through and hits notes of leather and spice. I dont know if it worked super well with the bloody mary, but a nice irish whisky would be bomb. 
Round two on Christmas Day was Breton Brewery's Nut Brown and an Ashton Cigars La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor. Another awesome paring. The nut brown was another home run from Breton Brewery. Great honey and nutty flavors which really took off with the semi-sweet and spicy kicks of flavor from this cigar. About a third of the way through there were some notes of coffee and earthiness that again matched extremely well with the Nut Brown. On my to get again list.
I have had the next cigar a few times now, and I would put it in my favorites catagory, the Undercrown Toro from Drew Estates. Love it, love it, love it. I was having a bit of a down day after Christmas. This happens for alot of people and it happens to me almost every year. So I have learned what I need is to find the ocean and go have a sit and a chat to clear my head. So off I went in search of a spot to have this Undercrown. Luckily there was a small break in the overcast, snowy weather and so I took a rip out to the Arisag lighthouse. It was nice to see the ocean, have a puff and breath in the salt air for a bit. This is on my permanent get list, luckily the shop in Halifax stocks them on the regular so I will always have a chance to have a couple around in case of emergency haha.
This moves us along nicely to New Years Eve, and it was time to crack into my new to me Dalwhinnie Winters Gold and Oliva V Series. Every year my wonderful god daughter Piper picks out the best scotches. At her young age, she has exquiste taste haha. I have never seen this scotch in Canada so it was a real treat to have something that different. The bottle notes suggest it is best when served cold, well New Years was a very chilly affair so it was a great compliment to the Oliva cigar. Best for last comes to mind with this cigar, it was one of those ones you never want to put down. It boasts notes of toffee, leather, latte coffee, and just goodness. Im not going to say i heard angels singing but def top 5 of the cigars I have smoked for 2016. Luckily got it in under the wire haha. I also dragged friend of the show Rob out to the nook. He was a great sport and found a nice blanket and glass of scotch and came out for a sit. We were probably out there for about an hour and a half, a testament to the construction of the Oliva cigar. So nice to ring in the new year with a fabulous cigar, scotch and friendship. 
Immediately following the New Year, a shipment of cigars arrived from the US via friend of the show Jainyme. On his recent travels home to the US, he kindly visited a cigar shop called Cigar Boutique Little Havana in Miami beach for me. The shop owner Cesar is a beauty, and has amazing customer service, I look forward to doing some more business with him in the future. So of course I would be remiss if I didnt try one of the sticks from this order. I decided on the Undercrown Shade. This is a conneticutt wrap cousin to the Undercrown by Drew Estates. I paired it up with the Big Spruce Brewing Company Blood Donair ( pronounced Donner). This is a stout brew with an awesome hit of raspberry on the finish and adds a reddish hue to the beer. When we took a little road trip up to Big Spruce I fell in love with it, and thought it would make a great pairing with this cigar. The Shade had more spice then I think I was expecting, extremely enjoyable. It is incredibly balanced and constructed, really happy I got more then one of them. The raspberry hits from the beer and the spice and nuttiness of the cigar was a refreshing pairing. Light and fun.
Whew almost there!!
Last but not least, for the post Christmas cigars is the HR Blue. I dont have many friends that legitimately enjoy cigars, some that will have one if I have one, but few that are enthusiasts also. One such friend, home from Alberta for the holidays happened to be in the Nish on a day that I was able to get free, so we quickly made arrangements to meet up for a cigar. I wanted to give Steve a great expereince and so I picked out one of my recent favorites for him the CrownHeads La Careme and paired it with the Tim's Dirty American IPA from Big Spruce. He found many of the same notes of flavor that I did, and the bounciness of the citrus in the TDA worked well for him so I was pretty happy about my pick. Steve is just getting started as I am, and subsribes to a Premium Cuban cigar of the month club out of Calgary so it was great to talk about the various cigars he has tried and ones that he is looking forward to trying. The HR Blue was in a word, amazing. It has great construction, draw, and flavor. Very cuban in its feel, and burn time was about 65 minutes. It didnt light evenly, but that could have been me rushing to get going, but once it evened out in the burn line, it really slowed down and smoked smooth. Always great to have any visitors to the cigar nook, and left Steve with an open invitation to come back the next time he is home. 
Feel like I might be missing one, but this post is long enough.
Going to try and settle down a little with cigar smoking, being up to 4 a week was awesome, but have a lot of kilometers to put in over the next few months, so going back to 1-2 a week I think.
Hope you all had great holiday!
Sean "BigBoyRunning" Ryan

Hey look at me getting my blog posts done in the timeframe that I should be, yes VerSEANica there is a Santa Claus.
So what a great week or in regards to the ying/yang style that I lead my life. On the goodness/angel shoulder - getting some great fitness in; on the Sithside/devil shoulder - getting some great cigars in the mail and getting the chance to share one with my bro.
So lets start with the snow storm herf!
My brother and I both subscribe to the same mail order cigar service, and it being my brothers first package decided it would be cool if we smoked the first one together on skype or FB chat. He lives in Japan so we were already challenged with the 13 hour time difference, but undaunted we scheduled a time on the weekend to smoke.
What I didnt take into consideration were two things. One its Nova Scotia in the winter time. So all bets are off when it comes to the weather, really minute to minute it can change, and usually never for the good. The other thing was that I dont smoke cigars in the house. It is a house rule, but more for me its my rule. Smoking a cigar every now and again is something I as an adult is choosing to do. My kids dont need to suffer those choices.  Many of us growing up in the 80s lived in houses with smoking parents, I did, and I was not a fan of the cigarette smoke back then. Trying to get homework assistance through clouds of smoke was a particular hatered of mine. So its outside for each one. 
So that being said, that means that I would have to be outside and close enough to the house to get our wifi signal. So that means no cigar nook as it probably the furthest point from the house. SO that means that I would have to sit out on the desk at the closest point to the house in the unprotected elements. No problem.
Okay, small problem. It was snowing like a bastard out the morning we planned on going online.
Hmmmm okay, time to click on the MacGuyver side of my brain and figure this out. Okay so my ipad has a stand to prob itself up, and if I fold a chair cushion over top of it, it would hold it up and the cushion would act like a roof for the ipad. 
Yeah this will totally work.
So about an hour before we planned our online herf, I got all bundled up, shoveled myself out of the house, cleaned up the stairs, around the cars and of course the cigar nook and then started setting my little herf station ( pictured in the middle above), and away we went.
We choose the Casa Magna from the cigar saveur box to start. I thought it was a good medium flavored cigar that really pairs nicely with anything that my brother might be having, for me, at 830am it was coffee in a thermal mug....i swear it was! 
We got online and lit up. It was pretty hilarious and it reminded me of the time we recently had in the summer when he was home and at the cottage. We got to catch up and have a laugh, strangely we did have some tech issues and the call was dropped occasionally. But I guess using house wifi outside in a snow storm will do that haha. Regardless it was a great smoke, made a million times better because I got to share it with my brother. 
In terms of the cigar, it lit well, it did burn fast through the first third, but my brother pointed out something that I kind of knew, I am a fast smoker. I burned through mine at a lot faster rate then he did. It makes sense, because when I was scuba diving, I would tend to suck through my air tank alot faster then my friends, air pig I believe they affectionately reffered to me haha.
But it did slow down throught the rest of it. I enjoy Casa Magna line alot, regardless of vitole they are well constructed and burn nicely.
We have decided to try this again when ever we get a new box, to smoke the first one together online. Sounds good now, see how I am digging that in January/February hahaha.
Next up was a Rocky Patel 20th Anniversary Natural and a Bah Humbug Christmas Ale from Wychwood Brewery. Holy crap did i enjoy this combo. I have not had many Rocky Patel cigars, you can get them in most shops that I have been in, in Canada, so the hunger to buy them isnt there because of the availability, so I usually look to buy the hard to find when I am purchasing. 
But this one was suggested to me when I was at Village Cigar Co. in November so I thought what the hay, lets try er out.
Happy I made the buy. It is a box press so I expected it to be a bit longer smoke and it really held up on the time. Really great hits of oaky wood, dark roast coffee and soft spices throughout, went right to the knucks on it, seem to do that alot haha, but really didnt want to put it down.
The Bah Humbug was amazing also. I have never had anything from wychwood before so wasnt sure what to expect, but it was a slightly sweet dark amber beer. It has such a balance of sweet and bitter flavor that it went perfectly with the cigar. It being in a larger bottle didnt hurt either as I tend to run out of the beverage before the cigar most times, but these started and ended at the same time. Easily drinkable on its own, but a great companion for this slightly above medium cigar.
Lastly just wanted to celebrate finally getting and online cigar order to me. Summit Cigars did a killer job in customer service, attention to detail in the shipping and considering customes had my order to me in under 20 days, which is the typical amount of time an online order from Canada will take.
All of the cigars that I ordered, I have never seen in Canada, or at least my part of Canada. Really happy about the whole process, and considering what a fiasco the first 2 attempts were like, this was a real treat. If the constant battering of storms subsides I might actually get to try one haha. Maybe the weekend will give us a break, until then they will have a good little sleep and rest up until called into action.
In case I dont get another post in before Christmas, happy holidays one and all, keep your lighters ready and your cutters sharp.

So a few pairings in the last couple of weeks. So something mentioned to me by friend of the show Candice Heigh, is that it apprears that it is no longer apt to call this #cigarSunday, more like #cigarEveryday. *Sigh* if only that were true, but sadly I cant afford that. But there is something to the fact that I have been having more then one cigar a week, and most of the time not on Sunday. I guess I have no rebuttal to that save that the further I get into this cigar smoking hobby the more I want to try. I will also say that regardless of weather, it provides me with a moment ( 40-70 min) to sit outside and enjoy the quiet, or a couple of tunes and through technology share the experience with other cigar smokers through the cigarnoise app or the Instagram. So holding myself to one cigar a week is most likely not going to happen anymore. 
Can I justify this change, probably not, but trying to keep it to a mid week smoke and a weekend smoke. Weekday smoke is only available if a 10km run has been accomplished - so could be more then one midweek if I am giving er or none if I am off, weekend smoke is available if target km's have been run for the whole week. Happy to say things are looking good this week!
The pairings the last couple of weeks include:

EP Carrillo Limited Edition 2015 with a Propeller Revolution Stout
So this was a mighty fine pairing. I am getting tired of saying new to me, it will be easier from this point forward I will say if I have had it before, prettly much every cigar is new to me haha. This EP Carrillo came in the November CigarSaveur box. I picked the stout because I thought given the research on the cigar, the stout would not over power the chocolate notes of the cigar and would work well together. Happy to say that was the case. The cigar was very full bodied, and had those great grassy notes of the foot and moved through that to leather and chocolate once lit. It burned really well and the draw was that great middle line of having to pull, but not forcing the smoke through the cigar. Hints of pepper hit in the second third really giving the stout a chance to shine. Very enjoyable outing for these two.

Comacho Conneticut with a Propeller Coffee Porter
As much as the last cigar was great with the stout, the porter on this one stole the show. I should have know better to pair a porter with a great hit of coffee flavor with a conneticut wrapped cigar, but that is why this is fun, the trial and error. I have had this cigar before, and enjoyed it, but I paired it with a very hoppy ale and that worked much better then the porter on this occasion. The porter will be a continued buy for me, I really liked the flavor, and complexity it provided, and I think i may have a better smoking companion for it in the wings, so there may be a take two for this beer pairing. The cigar was okay and just okay. I found this one had a very weezy draw, burned very fast on the first third and really didnt offer up much in comparitive flavor for the porter. Again on its own or with an IPA might be a more successful match. But then I tried to take the band off, ugh not impressed. The wrapper pretty much disintegrated in my hand and could only get a puff or two out of it after that. Really disappointed in the construction, and have not seen that before with any of the Comacho products I have smoked. Curious to know if this has happened to anyone taking a cigar out of a humidified environment fairing quickly into a below zero celcius environment? 
​
Diamond Crown Julius Caesar with 16yr old Lagavulin
So this pairing was the bombdotcom! I dont know if I have hit a pairing this on the money in a while. The JC was so amazing start to finish and Lagavulin, well you really cant go wrong with this dram.
I would call this cigar just over the medium line on its way to full bodied, and was an incredibly smooth smoke throughout. It had a great smoke, draw, and was constructed extremely well. Had it lit for over an hour for sure. Little coffee, some balanced sweet and spice notes, cant say enough about this cigar. In terms of the lagavulin, if you havent had some before, try it, now, run, faster! It has received a lot of noteriety and hype over the last number of years, and as much as you want discount that, it is deserved, I am not a overly smokey scotch lover, but this has just the right amount to add to any cigar experience without overpowering a medium to full cigar. Happy to continue to have this in my cabinet, and at its price point, you better have done something really remarkable for me to share it haha.

Arturo Fuente Grand Reserva with Hibiki Suntory
Have had both of these before, and you really cant ask for a smoother pairing. The blend on the Suntory and the mid bodied flavor of the AFGR was incredible. I wanted to just keep this party going for a while, this is becoming one of my goto pairings for sure. If you havent tried either, get after it, really really good.

Shorty Corojo #3 Gran Habano with a Cappacino from McD's
This was a flyer. I think I got this when my aunt and uncle went to the US a month or so ago, it was not on my list to get, but arrived back just the same. I wanted a quick smoke the other day so when I found this, I thought it was just the right size for what I was looking for and took it out to the cigar nook for a try. For knowing nothing about it, and usually not going for cigars in the shorty or petite sizes I was pleasently suprised. It lit incredibly well, had nice construction great flavor off the hop. A little coffee and leather and a light spice featured throughout. I dont know I would be in a rush to find more, but if they were brought out at a party I would be pretty happy also.

CigarSaveur December Box
OMG!! The box this month is all money. Not only was there a bonus cigar from Alpha Cigar Co. ( almost impossible to find in Canada) there were two other cigars I have really wanted to try, one from Caldwell and one from Drew Estates, plus an Aging Room and a Casa Magna. So pumped to get these lit, but waiting for my brother to get his first ever box/first ever purchased cigars. Its so nice to know my bad habbits are now inspiring others muhuhahahaha!

CigarNoise Coins and App
Okay so this online cigar community that i participte in called Cigar Noise is now producing swag. They have had a notification about this swag for weeks. I have relentlessly been checking the app for the notification to see when the coins and other items would be available. They teased me with 'check back soon' for about two weeks and they finally went live on Wednesday while I was on the radio for our weekly radio show. Panic!!!! After many failed attempts because of my Canadianess, a few emails, I successfully got one purchased. So be prepared in the coming months to see this coin prominately featured in my pairing photos. If you want to join the CigarNoise network - google the website and download the app. Lots of great folks just looking to share thier hobby experiences and a little chirping from time to time. But this has really helped me understand more about cigars, types, vitols, how to keep them fresh, and everything inbetween. There are videos, online cigar smoking video herfs and meet and greets with cigar makers and companies. Very cool. Check it out.

Woah that was long, happy smoking!
​Sean "BigBoyRunning" Ryan

Yeah so a few cigars in the last month or so, these arent all of them, but I thought I would select the best ones and do a quick synopsis on them so that I could at least get up to date!
Okay in no particular order....
Alec Bradley Tempus, I had this while I was in Halifax for a day conference in the park across from our hotel. I lit well, way better then the mundial I had a couple weeks earlier, and have a good peppery hit in the beginning, heading into the second third there was a real smooth nutty flavor coming through and eased into some coffee notes as well. Not a great pairing for my makeshift long island iced tea in a coffee cup haha. But a very enjoyable smoke. 

Kentucky Fire Cured and Breton Brewing Red Coat. What a powerful team up! I am not normally a red or amber ale drinker, preferring my beer to be scotch, but I was put on to this by a friend and I have to say it was a fantastic beer. A touch of sweet, clean on the palate and what a knock out with the KFC cigar. I have to say I have never smoked something like this before. It was like someone rolled up an all day smoked brisket and made it into a cigar. All the tobacco for this cigar is smoked in large barns in the US. What that smoke imparts on to the tobacco is a nutty, hickory, rich smokey flavour that seriously cant be matched. I really enjoyed this combo, but really loved this cigar. Now, traditionalists may not enjoy this and this cigar has a strong love it and equally, hate it crowds. But I am def in the love it catagory. I picked up mine in Halifax at Sivets on Barrington street, it has a price point of about 22-24$, but if you are looking for something different, check this out.

Tatuaje Cabinet and a Propeller Pumpkin Ale. Okay I am not a pumpkin spice fan. I feel like the world goes a little crazy for this around this time of year, this stuff is in everything, donuts, candles, coffees, teas, rib rubs etc, etc. So I have been very reluctant to try pumpkin beer, but I keep seeing it on all the cigar pairing feeds and people waxing on about how great it is, finally pushed me over the edge and so I bought some. I thought to pair it with my only Tatuaje cigar that i had recently got from the US. Again i keep seeing posts on Tuesdays calling for TatTuesdays and yes I had a little FOMO haha. So lets pair these two new to me's together and have a scotch on stand by in case this beer was not in my wheelhouse. What a treat on both accounts. The beer was great, i have to admit. The pumpkin is not overpowering but adds just a hint of flavour and sweetness on the end. I was really shocked that I liked it as much as I did, but the cigar was a perfect partner. It lit great, had a perfect draw and had a great nose of cedar and light cut grass. it was not a fast burner by any stretch and had notes of leather and pepper throughout. Played off the sweet beer extremely well, I will be on the hunt for more of these in the future.

La Imperiosa from Crowned Heads and ???? TBH I am not sure which beer this was, oopsie! So lets jump onto the La imperiosa. This is a strong cigar, full of flavor. Im glad I did go with a beer because it would have overpowered a scotch, maybe a bourbon would have been able to stand up also. But, I loved this cigar. I received this one through a subscription service call Cigar Saveur that I came across on the Cigar Noise App ( you should download this if you are in any way interested in cigars). You get 4 premium cigars a month, and for me it is better then the last one I was in because there is going to be at least one boutique cigar per box that I would have no way of getting in Canada. Just found out my brother is going to be getting these now so that is awesome, online cross continental herfs anyone?!?!?! Lots of pepper, earthiness and leather coming out of this one, it was actually a nice day also, so that didnt hurt. My only complaint is the first third burnt really fast, but it posted up the rest of the way through. For my first crowned heads, I would put this and other brands on my to buy list.

Arturo Fuente Grand Reserva and Wayne Gretzky Canadian Red Cask Whiskey (not pictured). So when I was in Hamilton I happened along a cigar shop and liquor store. The cigar shop was Village Cigar Company in Oakville. To be honest like every pre-travel adventure I always search out the food, entertainment, hotel, gym, cigars and comic book places before I go. I contacted the guys at VCC on FB and they were quick with replies, and extremely helpful in making it an easy decision to visit them on my travels. They had mentioned in their last comment that one of the guys working there would help me out. I didnt really think much of it, but, when I got there, they already knew my name and Geoffrey was a fantastic host and extremely knowledgable. So far 3/7 of his recommendations have been on point for what I like. Now while I didnt pick up the Arturo Grand Reserva at VCC, I did pick up  the Wayne Gretzkey whiskey while I was in Hamilton. One of my compatriots purchased a bottle and shared some one evening and I was sold that I needed to bring this back to Nova Scotia with me. It was incredibly smooth and the aging for a young whiskey was excellent. I couldnt wait to pair this with a cigar at home. So that I did. I love the AF Grand Reserva in the churchill length. It is at least and 80 minute smoke, it is on the mild side of medium and just tastes great. A little leather, a little nutty coffee it was incredibly good with the great one's beverage. That Wayne, knows his hooch.

Don Pepin Garcia Original and Four Roses Bourbon ( not pictured). DAYUM DAYUM DAYUM this was an amazing pairing. My first but def not my last of the DPG original. It was a fantastic smoke. Had notes of leather, cocoa, spice and wood. It lit well, had a natural draw and changed flavours multiple times. The four roses was a perfect partner as it's carmel goodness really matched well with the cigar on all levels. I am about half way through my bottle of Four Roses as it continues to me a go to for me, so going to have to source another bottle from the US soon......winky winky. haha 
Have to have this one again, hopefully be able to find it in Canada somewhere soon.

AJ Fernandez Last Call x 2, the first with Angostura 7yr rum and local Fortress rum. Lets just say this about the cigars, both were good, the price point in Canada is around 14$, which is great considering how much cigars seem to be costing. A perfect cigar if you are just getting into cigars and want something above a CAO brand or Don Thomas. Nothing against those brands i love certain ones, but this will give you a great medium smoke at a cost effective price point. Also white label over red for me. In regards to the two different rums, the Angostura was very good, had a good hit of the sweet molasses. Finding that I am enjoying rum again when its paired with a cigar, on its own, way to sweet for me, but the smoke and the sweet are so nice together. The Fortress was awesome. I love this rum. It is made locally and is really really good. It is more of an amber colour and the carmel notes are off the chart. I wouldnt normally drink rum straight, but you can with this, very easily. Great pairing for both!

Last but not least Comacho Triple Maduro. Just when you thought you had enough maduro, Comacho tripled that sh$t up haha. On this day I paired it with a coffee, mainly because I had to work later in the afternoon, I post everything haha, so didnt want a conflict of interest. Just the same, I had no issues, coffee and cigars are a great match. What a flavour bomb of a cigar! So bold, but I would have to say probably not for everyone. I loved it, maduro's are top of my list, I really enjoy that hit of pepper and dark chocolate when I smoke one. The coffee really served as a touch point for setting off additional flavors throughout. It had a great draw, and nice thick smoke. Another on the get again list for sure.

So there you have it, about a month and a half of cigars and pairings, most I would get again, some wont be in a panic for.

DAAAAAAANG! Its been a couple weeks since I have been able to post a post. A lot on the go I suppose with 2 homecoming weekends, a Canadian thanksgiving, a wedding anniversary and my son turning 13. Yup couple things on the go.
I am starting to dream about cigars, so I think I am deep into my newest obsession. This is usually the way things go for me with a new hobby. I try something, like it, and then go 150 miles per hour towards it. I get right down in it. I start to learn about it, read about it, really educate myself about it. Cigars and scotches have been no different. A quick flip through my Instagram last night and I would say I am about 65% following or being followed by cigar people. This could be shops, producers, smokers, or promoters. Not there is anything wrong with that, but it has fuelled this thing in me, that I think is common amongst the social media generation, that I want to post and post often the cigars and or pairings that I am doing. 
I have tried to stick to my one cigar a week based on work outs thing for a while now, but I am noticing it has grown to most weeks at least two if not three cigars. Mostly during the summer, and a little bit now, although now the weather plays a pretty key factor in if there will be a cigarSaturday or cigarSunday.
Budget wise I am at my tipping point on what I want to spend on cigars in a given month. I also feel like ive turned myself into the "cigar guy" amongst my friends. I dont mind it, I like to share when I can but it always gets a little weird when its expected.
I wouldnt care so much if the prices in Canada were similar to the US, but paying close to 20$ on a stick here is almost the norm sadly, so dishing out a couple here and there is not so bad but when it jumps to groups of people, thats a hard no.
I am also starting to look at any trip anywhere as an opportunity to get more sticks. Aunt and Uncle going to Boston, where are you staying, here are three stores close to your hotel, a list and some cash - thanks. haha
Of all the business/conference trips I have to go on, I have top 3 shop lists, already contacted them, reviewed product lists and asked more questions then you could ever imagine - I have this lined up for at least the next year.
Online cigar of the month clubs, am already on my third ( cigarsaveur.com) will let you know how it goes after the first shipment next month.
Also in the research I am doing I am finding that I am WAAAAAAAY uneducated in comparison to other cigar bloggers, and critics. NOT that I have ever sold myself as such, I am a complete novice, but these people are talking about things that I have to look up the definition for. Not that that will stop me from my mission of pairing a cool beverage with a cigar, but put me in my place fo' sho'.
What I have also found though is that cigar people are generally very awesome people. There are def some that are a little judgey around feedback on what you are smoking but most are just BOTL or SOTL and happy to share a picture or a little knowledge about what they like or do not like. The CigarNoise app has been really great for that for me.
So yeah, join me as I continue to plunge into my obsession here is a list of what I have had over the last couple weeks:
Creemore Springs Oktoberfest and a Alec Bradley Mundail
I would give the beer a 4.5 outta 5 - really enjoyed the flavour and would pair well with any mild to medium cigar. Def going to try this again. The cigar though, it was absolutely brutal to light and keep it lit. The draw was not particularly good, and the flavor profile was fairly one note all the way through. Interesting hit of citrus I will give it that.

Uncle Leo's Smoked Porter and a Dominion Cigars, Black Lotus.
Loved, loved, loved the smoked porter. Will be getting this beer again. The smokiness and all the good porter flavors of coffee and chocolate were really well represented. 5 out of 5 on the beer. This has been my second kick at the can with the Black Lotus, and I really enjoy this cigar. The flavor profile is just shy of medium but the flavor jumps around to leather, and grass, and some vanilla notes. Very enjoyable with the beer.  The burn time was up there also, i think close to 70 minutes, easy draw and no relighting. It did burn on an angle off the start, but I think that was more me then the cigar.

Dalmore 12yr single malt and a Grand Toro Undercrown from Drew Estates. This was my first go with Dalmore, it was a very smooth scotch. Right up my alley as I dont like a lot of smoke in my scotch, thats what i have a cigar for, so it was a great accompaniment to the cigar. It has a redish hue, which is the result of the types of cask it was aged it, and results in a sweet finish. Not overly sweet, but enough to get the tastebuds moving. The cigar. Man oh man I love this Undercrown. Some out there may have had bad experiences with it, but for me ( second one) it smokes really well, changes flavors a few times between coffee and dark chocolate, lights well, burns well and has an easy draw. I have smoked this one to the nucks a both times I have had one and I cant wait to have another.

Boxing Rock's Darkness Ale and a Punch Cigar. Okay so it was about 8am in the morning of homecoming when i tried these two in a pretty strong wind storm so the experience wasnt the best. But I will give this dark ale a strong 4 out of 5. It has all the dark beer notes I want but the finish is what really puts it over the top. It is a really good beer. The little punch cigar was great but not really something I would go to, to often. Again this might have more to do with the experience, but it burned really fast for the size, and the flavor profile was more tobacco then anything else. Great for a little hit of nico in the morning but not much else to say about that. Pairing, I would go for a solid medium flavor cigar next time so the beer has someone to play with.

CAO Italia - Didnt pair it with anything but was a fun short smoke to walk around campus with on a sunny day. Its my second one, it is a little lighter on the flavor then its Brazilia partner, but for the day it was decent. 3 out of 5.

Dalwhinnie 12 year old single malt with a CAO Flathead 660. Dalwhinnie, not much to say, one of my top 3 single malts, I only bring my bottle out for special occasions, crazy smooth, little smoke, all caramel. The CAO Flathead 660, I know it catches a lot of crap from other smokers, but I love it. Has always drawn well, smoked well, has enough profile changes to keep me interested and because of its size ensures that I am smoking if for a good hour or so. Given that is was our wedding anniversary and the sunset was starting on a really outstanding day, this was a 5 out of 5 pairing for me. 

So stepping back from review reviews cause there are better places to go for that, going for more of a rating system meow.
Hope you are getting out and trying a couple of cigars, let me know if you try anything interesting for spirits or smoke, would love to feature them in a future review.

So here we are, it is officially Fall. As a cigar smoker I couldnt be more pumped. I have enjoyed my cigars over the summer, sitting in the sun, at times enjoying the beach and a puff, but there is something so much more satisfying to me about being bundled up in a hoodie, with a crisp breeze blowing by, the leaves on the trees slowly starting to change their color to reds, yellows, and orange. Fall is def my favorite time of year.
The last three weeks have been seriously flat out. So it was nice to get the chance to smoke and drink something new. My wife and former sweetheart was in Halifax last week doing her Sheriff thing, but was able to slip away to visit like, the only cigar store in Halifax. Sieverts on Barrington street is the only place I have found in Halifax that has anything different then the few CAO, Don Thomas, R&J etc. I am not complaining about that, and have enjoyed the ones I could get my hands on, but when given the opportunity to get some that I would never find here in Antigonish, you have to take that and run with it.
The staff at Sieverts are always awesome to deal with, yes they know their prices are up there, welcome to Nova Scotia, yes they know they dont have most of the new boutique brands, but they do have a couple that I have been wanting to get for some time. So I created a list of wants, including pictures and descriptions. I was very happy with what was selected for me, 2 Drew Estates Undercrown, 1 Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva, 1 El Centurian from My Fathers Cigars, and 1 Comacho triple maduro. 
​

Arnt they purrrtty!
On the drink pairing side I went with a local spirit, from just down the road in Guysborough NS called Sea Fever Rum. I picked the amber, because well, that was all the liquor store had, but they do make other flavors as well. Regardless of lack of selection, I was very happy getting the amber. I prefer Amber rums, to their white or dark counterparts. Amber' s usually provide a good hit of the sweet, with a balanced boozyness. 
For the cigar I decided to go with the My Fathers Cigars - El Centurion. Here are some notes from the website
Staying true to the original blend, Pepin packs the El Centurion with all well-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. The kicker here is he incorporates the super-unique Sancti Spiritus leaf which morphs this blend into a spicy-sweet beast with notes of pepper and leather. Medium to full in body, El Centurion is tasty right out of the box and after a few months of diligent aging, the real fireworks begin!
So onto the back deck for my first of fall pairing. 
My first thoughts of the cigar were, that it felt like I was smoking a cigarette the draw was so airy. I thought for sure I was going to burn through it in about 5 minutes. It lit well, and immediately had a sweet peppery thing going on. The rum would be great with just about anything, but was incredibly nice with this cigar. Flavor bites of vanilla, caramel and even a touch of salt. This rum is aged in casks by the sea, so not sure if that will actually do anything, but this is a sipping rum, no mix required. Maybe a quick squeeze of lemon or lime to really bring out the citrus but nothing more then that.
The first third of the cigar burned fairly quickly, but it slowed up on the second third. It was almost impossible to keep any ash on it as that crisp new fall wind kept knocking it off, but it did hold on for an inch, inch and half at a time.  The flavor kept getting more robust as I smoked up to the band and the there was almost no acrid taste until almost the end. It was a true knuckle burner. 
I was enjoying the rum so much, i needed a refresher about 2/3 of the way through the cigar. I dont normally do that, so that is a testament to the great taste of the product.
I have two more trips to Halifax in the next month, and one to Hamilton, and yes I already have a cigar shop picked out for that visit. I made contact with Village Cigar Co. over the weekend as they have 2 locations, one in Burlington and one in Oakville. I wanted to know if both stores kept identical inventory or if one was bigger then the other. I am glad i asked because the Oakville location carries 520 types and the Burlington store only 380. So Oakville it will be when I visit in early November.
I am still hesitant to pull the trigger with a US online store again after the fiasco my first purchase turned out to be, but there is one online store in the running. The customer service has been outstanding since I started contacting them a couple of weeks ago.
Its homecoming weekend this week, so going to be a game time decision on if I get a #cigarSaturday or #cigarSunday this week.
Fingers crossed

That. Was. A. Week.
So last week was orientation week here at work. A week of events, information sessions, food, and little sleep for those of us dedicated to put on an amazing week for our first year students. This year, like most was very well executed, and the little bumps along the way were only noticed by those of us behind the scenes that would have known there was a bump, so high fives to all involved, none of which will most likely read this haha.
After a long week, no real work outs but many many steps according to my phone, almost 17,000 a day for 4 days in a row, it was time to sit back, start to let the dust settle and finally have a cigar........or two.
On a posting maybe a month or so ago, a high school chum Justin Beaton indicated a fondness for gin, to which I also exclaimed that I had a fondness for gin. There were various posts all subject of our gin enjoyment and discussion around the various local providers of the that spirit in our various geographical regions. He in New Brunswick and I in the Scotia. 
We settled on a gin exchange to which I would send along a bottle from the Pictou County distillery, Nova Scotia Spirit Co. out of Trenton, and he would send me a bottle from NB ( pictured above on the right) Gin Thuya. Luckily for me this bottle found its way to me on the Saturday, so what better way to kick off the end of oweek then a shaken gin martini and a cigar.
The cigar was a CAO Flathead 642. Regular readers will note that I have tried 3 other CAO Flatheads over the course of this blog and have always enjoyed them. This one is similar in shape and design as the others that I have tried and boasts a high content of Nicaraguan leaf, which I also enjoy, but there was something about this cigar that I didnt really like. It lit well, but the draw was very poor. It was like smoking a cigar cigarette. Maybe its the lonsdale style I dont like to be fair it is one of the skinniest cigars I have ever had, but I couldnt help think back to when the gals at my high school in ontario would be out on a smoke break between classes smoking these extra long cigarettes. I am ashamed to say at the time we called them slut sticks, i know, i know, wildly inappropriate, but that is what we called those cigarettes.
The flavour was not really there either, it is a maduro so I guess I expected something more on the stronger side, but I really didnt get that good lip tingle you get from a nice peppery maduro. It also burned quite quickly. For what I paid for it in Canada, it really wasnt worth it, and I will probably stick to the other cigars in the flathead line as I do like those quite a bit. Hey cant win them all.
So the gin was the star of the show for this first round. It has a very smooth flavour and the botenicals that can sometimes overpower in a locally made gin, were in perfect harmony with the alcohol percentage. I hope JB enjoys the gin I sent his way, because the bottle he sent me was spot on, and perfect for a straight up martini.
After a quick supper break it was on to Round 2.
Featured in this round was another new to me beverage the Suntory Whisky Hibiki and a Don Thomas Maduro Presidente. I have had this cigar many times before and it pairs very well with whiskey so I thought I wanted to go with something tried and true with this new whisky. 
The Hibiki Harmony is a blend of 3 different whisky's, the Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita.  I have a bottle of the Yamazaki that my brother bought me a couple of years ago and really enjoy it. I have not yet tried the Hakushu or the Chita. This blend makes for an extremely smooth whisky. It has notes of orange peel and white chocolate, I am not sure if I got the chocolate hit, but I did get the orange. It is strange but it has a great calmness to it. It was a nice mellow whisky, wasnt all in your face with crazy flavors, harmony is a great word for it.
The Don Thomas cigar was as per usual full of all the spice, and leather that I expect when puffing on a maduro cigar. The presidente length is always a fun smoke when you dont have anywhere to be, and I didnt so it was perfect for round 2. The cello was nice and yellow so you know that flavour has had time to mature a bit and I was glad I let this sit for a while before smoking it.
Still not sure of the all the debate around aging cigars, i am way too much of a newb on the subject, but some of the #BOTL and #SOTL on Cigar Noise have some great thoughts on the subject from time to time. If you are a cigar smoker, you really should check out this app. It continues to help me in my search for cigar knowledge. Only drawback is the cigars posted on there will seriously make you consider moving to the states for the availability and pricing. 
Any day you get to have a smoke and a drink, make some clouds and watch some clouds at the end of the a long hard week is a good thing.

Days are getting busier, by the minute, hour and day as we approach orientation week. Stresses are felt, tensions are frayed, Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...Human sacrifice,dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Ahhhh nothing like a Bill Murray quote to get a post started. 
But yeah, things are crazy right now, so now, more important then ever to take a beat when the window presents itself to sit down with friends and fellow enthusiasts, OH YEAH, I should say fellow B.O.T.L and S.O.T.L ( Brothers/Sisters of the leaf) ( learned that this week) (always wondered what that hashtag meant) ( sorry for all the brackets) ( Ill stop now).
So yeah, two occasions this week to have a herf.
The first was at a work/beach BBQ with our staff and student leadership team. It is something we do every year, just before the rest of the students come back, training week and frosh week ensues and then we are in it for the year!
The two gentlemen featured in the middle photo, friends of the show, Chad ( left); and Nick ( right);  have both smoked with me before at different times. Chad was smoking an R&J no.3 that he picked up in Cuba on vacation, he comes from a very healthy humidor at home, so this was not a beach gar. I picked up a  Punch cigar for Nick. I had a CAO Italia, I have smoke the Brazilia a lot, i mean A LOT, and wanted to see the difference between the two.
It boasts a 4 country blend of tobacco from Italy, Nicaragua, Puru and Honduras. It def had an earthiness about it, I found it to land just the other side of medium in regards to flavour. I was driving so I didnt pair it with anything other then Dr. Pepper. But it was nice to watch the water roll into shore, and the afternoon drift into dusk with the hardest working group of people in the SU biz. None of them will read this so totally safe with that one haha.
A few days later the notice came in from the Cigar Noise app that there was going to be a live herf and interview with Cesar Reyes from Camino cigars. It was such a cool experience to listen to him explain his story and how he started Camino. My wifi was pretty shotty so it cut in and out alot, but it was also cool to talk some shit with some of the other cigar noise peeps and but some faces, and accents to names. Being the lone Canadian on the call, it was fun for me to represent the North haha.
Looking forward to getting through the next couple of weeks so I can do another virtual session.
For the herf, I was smoking a CAO 660 Flathead. There is something about these cigars I love. It is the perfect ring gauge, flavour and smoking time for me. I paired it with an EH Taylor Bourbon from the US, and the combo was really awesome. I always get a molasses vibe from them, and with the soft vanilla notes of the bourbon it is really a great partnership. I have another so def going to pair them together again.
The coolest thing tho is my new handmade by moi cigar holder. Friend of the show and master carpenter Rob did give me a pretty big assist in fine tuning, but so pumped I was able to take a block of walnut and turn it into something. I dont think it will be my last one, and I already have plans for vertical number. I think somewhere my dad is smiling watching me make things from hand tools. I wish I would have paid closer attention when I was a kid, but better late then never. it is pictured above with the 660. I even got to stamp Big Boy Running into it, that was a bit of gong show, but really happy with the result.

So my cigars from the US still havent shipped. So frustrating. I really want to cancel the whole fucking thing, but I really want to smoke a couple of those cigars. I did get someone from there via email, there were many apologies, and a renewed effort to try and get these cigars to me, the reality is if they actually do get them in the mail, I am still probably 20 days out before I see them. GAH! 
This week I have 2 pairings that I am going to profile, the first is a CAO Flathead 554 Camshaft, paired with Fortress Rum.
The second is a Dominion Cigars Black Lotus with a Barking Squirrel Lager from Hop City Brewery.
So lets go with the Friday night selection of the Fortress Rum and the CAO Flathead 554. I have tried two other cigars from this series the 660 Carb and the 770 Big Block. I really enjoyed the 660, the 770 was a monster, I wasnt sure if I was actually going to be able to smoke it all in one night. 
The Fortress rum is something I have seen around, not being a huge rum drinker anymore, rum is not something I really ever look for when picking something to pair cigars with, but when I saw this bottle in a liquor store in the valley a couple of weeks back it called to me.
Something about the dark caramel brown colour and the wax seal, I knew I was going to have to give this a shot. A quick chat with the clerk about the aging process and I was in.
The 554 lit really well and had an excellent draw. It has a great dark wrapper, you would almost think its a lindt dark chocolate bar. I would say the ash held until about a third of the way in and then the wind took it off. The 554 like its fellow cigars, is really well rolled, I would say its smoking time for me was about 60 minutes. I am usually a faster smoker so to get about 60 minutes out of it was great. Its flavour palette, I would come to find, was a fantastic match for the rum. To the point it had me questioning if I have been missing the boat on rum when pairing. 
The spice and coffee notes were enhanced with the easy drinking, smooth carmel and vanilla hits from the rum. Its one of the first time's I have just had rum on the rocks and kept topping my glass off as I was going. 
I was really blown away by how exceptional this rum was, and it is local to Nova Scotia which is an added bonus. 
Luckily I have found a shop not too far away that stocks the 660, 554 and the 642 piston. So I have the chance to pair up these two again in the not to distant future.
The second pairing, I guess I should start off with, will I never learn. There is something about pairing hoppy ales and cigars that I cant seem to get on board with. Dark ales, porters, creams, bocks, I can totally understand, not sure if I will ever bother again with anything IPAish. Nothing wrong with the beer on its own, but that citrus and the flavour from the Black Lotus were really fighting each other to the point I stopped drinking the beer.
So for the rest of this write up, Ill focus on the cigar.
It was very nice! I am starting to get the sense that maduro cigars are my happy place as I seem to focus alot of my attention on those dark beauties. 
It lit well and had a very easy draw. I was worried that it was going to smoke fast as it looked like it was going to burn through the middle, but after some love, it started to settle down and burn correctly. I did seem to smoke the first third rather quickly though. It held its ash fine, but a misplacement on the Fastest Man Alive, ended up knocking off the ash. Once I stopped trying to make the beer work and focused on the cigar, it def slowed up a lot. I think I clocked in around the 50 minute mark for this cigar, I let it burn to the knuckles, as I tend to do and the last third stayed true and didnt get chemically to the taste. I dont do a lot of research aside from checking out the factory notes when I pick cigars. I am really looking for something new each time, or within my price range.
I have started looking into how cigars are taxed across Canada and its really awful. I get it, its not a great habit, it causes bad things to happen, but for someone that doesnt smoke many ( trust me after seeing how many cigars others put back in a week, I am total light weight) having to pay a 79% per cigar cigar tax is pretty shocking. I can understand why there is not a market for cigars in Canada, and specifically Nova Scotia. If the government is trying to discourage people, way to go!! Not me, but maybe other people haha.
So I feel like I am the Morgan Freeman character in Shawshank Redemption in regards to my US cigar order:
I find I'm so excited that I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a mail call can give. A mail call at a start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope my mail call can make it across the border. I hope to see my mail call and smoke those cigars. I hope the Comacho flight is as colourful as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

So I guess you can say I have enjoyed the last number of weeks judging by the pictures and the regular rules for #cigarSunday were suspended. Instead of reviewing them all I think I will list out a few of the top pairings and maybe a couple that didnt quite hit the mark! Also, these are not the only pairings that happened, but I started to get a little 'holy crap I smoked alot feeling' as I was adding pictures, but this covers the bulk of what I smoked.
So the first thing I will say is nothing is better then a great coffee to start the day, while we were away in Grand Pre for the week, every morning my brother or I would pop down the road to Just Us! Cafe to pick up a couple of large Americano coffees. I am addicted to these. When the weather was good ( it was pretty much each day) I would add a cigar to the mix. I did this 3 times, once with a Romeo and Julieta no.2; a Hoyo de Monterrey and a CAO Brazillia. I cant recall if one cigar was better then the others with the Americano but the pairing of coffee and cigars is something I am going to spend some more time with. What awesome pairing potential. I dont know why I am so in awe, because on most descriptions you read on cigars 'notes of coffee' are usually one of the top things written. So for me the best part of waking up was some Americano in my cup and a cigar on the side.  
In regards to other pairings, top three as pictured above were:
Montecristo Platinum and Secret Barrel Rum ( made into a mojito)
Cohiba Dominican Republic and Four Roses Bourbon
Flor de les Antilles and Highland Park 12 year
Honorable mentions for cigars:
Undercrown by Drew Estates
A. Fuente Grand Reserve
( the paring in both of these cases did not work out, but the cigars were fantastic)
A couple of fails that I was really disappointed in cigar wise were the My Fathers Collection Bijou 1922 and the R&J Churchill.
Both of them were difficult to light and keep lit ( 2 relights for the Bijou and 5 for the R&J); the Bijou burned fast through the middle and the R&J got a large split in the wrapper about mid way through. I bought both of these cigars in mid June, they were kept in the same fashion as my other cigars so it was a bit perplexing on why they had those issues. 
I have been seeing the Bijou on Cigar Noise for quite some time and have enjoyed the other products from My Fathers Collection so Pretty bummed to have had such a crappy experience.
After the many family and friend herfs over the week my cigar supplies took a pretty big hit. I hit up a store in Halifax, but was shocked at the pricing. I have done a bit of a look around and really am blown away by how crappy the cigar prices are in Eastern Canada, so much so that I decided to purchase some online from a store in the states. This has not gone as planned. There have been many issues with this particular company, and I have now been waiting almost 2 months since my original order was placed. Today was the final straw in that I got an email from their international department wishing to know if I still wanted my order.
My reply was not as Canadian as one would hope as I expressed some frustration with their system, with the fact that I had to call numerous times to confirm my credit card info, that I was told they were already sent, paid extra for better shipping and still had not received anything in the mail. Now I know customs may prolong the delivery, but the fact that no one seems to know if my items actually shipped or not is a little concerning.
So I am left wondering if this systematic of ordering through the US or just this company, but dont want to pull the trigger if I end up in the same situation. 
As I look at online stores in Canada, it really just makes me sad haha. The prices and selection are far inferior to what is available in the US and when I did the math on the cost of my ordered products, the shipping and possible duty, ITS STILL CHEAPER then ordering or purchasing in Canada.
So frustrating.
I realize cost and taxes prevent there being much of a cigar market here in the East Coast, but it kills me in my Irish/Scottish heart to pay over $20 for a cigar I know I have purchased in the US for 10$ including the exchange! Kills me!!! GAH!!!
So I guess I have to think of the vacation cigarathon as something rare and wonderful and most likely will not happen again for a while. AND IT WAS SPLENDID!!!
Some friends of the show finally got to get their chance to be involved in a #cigarSunday - Marjie, Uncle Scott, my Bro from Japan, and even my mom got a puff in!! That alone makes the money meaningless.
I hope I can report back soon that my cigars get here and I am renewed in my online shopping adventures, until then, #cigarSunday rules are back in effect.
