Week in Smoke – TGT Edition posted on February 9th, 2012
What would you like for Christmas?
Over the weekend I made the announcement about our first annual twelve days of Christmas. While reading over the contest guidelines and prizes you may have noticed that days one, two, and three could not be entered at that point in time.
After you make your Christmas list, you may make one additional comment at a later date to add or subtract items from your list. The reason for this is to make finding your name in the list easier for the generouse people interesting in purchasing a cigar gift for you.
Don’t forget to inform your friends and family of the name you post under, and to point them to our article on giving the gift of cigars.
on our 12 Days of Christmas page.

If Santa brings me a box of Illusione ~cg:4~’s I swear I will be a god boy and smoke them all, I will even share them with my friends and family!

Update:
Cedar spills- I’ve really gotten into lighting with matches and spills and am running out quickly
After using one at my B&M Friday night, a Tundra table top lighter. I know it seems odd that I’ve been doing lots of sighting with matches and spills, but since I’m a porch smoker, a torch is required sometimes.
Lastly, I think I’m going to need a kerosene heater for said porch. Thermals + 3 layers of sweatshirts/fleece, knit cap, mitten-gloves (pull back the mitten to expose cut finger gloves…very cool) are ok now but it’s only getting into the high 20′s low 30′s now and it’s gonna get colder! Do they make battery operated thermals?
That was lighting with matches and spills, not sighting…
Cruzado or Illusion singles!
I’ve had to write a few Wish Lists for different family members, so I’ll include some of common requests.
