COVID-19 Day 805 2.0-Mile Cigar
 Brazil Arapiraca Maduro, Brazilian Arapiraca, Crowned Heads, Dominican Republic, HR50, J.D. Howard Reserve, Toro It was pointed out the other day by BOTL Steve Beachner that I haven’t hit the pavement in a while (since May 15th… nearly 3-weeks)… aka the Cigar-Walk is back this morning with this Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapped J.D. Howard Reserve HR50 by Crowned Heads Cigars.

It was a rewarding and Balmy-Warm 55°F (12.8°C) this morning with this Tried-And-True standby in the regular Cigar-Rotation. I think this is the first Cigar-Walk when the temps were above 50°F (10°C)! Maybe Spring decided to show up.

Anyway, I always look forward to smoking the J.D. Howard Reserve… I know I can always count on it to deliver satisfaction!

Until next time…
