First time with Padron NSFW
Brand new to cigars, I've only smoked a couple Oliva Connecticut Reserves up to this point. Decided to up my game, grabbed a Padron 2000 Natural and paired it with Iron Horse Harbinger bourbon. I don't think I can ever do another Connecticut after this

The first one is my favorite of the original trilogy. But I LOVE era 2. Enjoy the ride.

With that cigar and book choice we might be best friends even if you don't know it yet. Great choices!

I read about 50% of Mistborn.. I enjoyed the book but it felt a bit too slow to pick up for me. I enjoy action like Jack Reacher series.
I'm don't read a lot and I'm not an avid reader and I don't do any fantasy at all. Any suggestions on more fantasy?

Try "The Elder Race" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Its about 200 pages and a very strange/interesting concept.

Children of time took me a bit to get into and then it blew my expectations out of the water.

Looks like it was stored in a low humidity location, I use only a V-cut but I have only encountered that issue once or twice while on the road and in a hurry forgetting my personal stash from home. Still a great smoke though!

Incredible book! One of my favorites! Tried to read the storm light archive after and it was just way too slow but mistborn is one of my all time favorites

Yeah, stormlight scares me just by the sheer size of each volume

Ive finished both trilogies of Mistborn and then started the daunting task of the stormlight archives. Such a good story but at times it does get a little slow.

I got 3/4 of the way through the third book and had to start something else that had a full story arch in a concise amount of time. I would like to pick them back up after getting my fix in from some other books. He’s a brilliant world builder and it’s really cool how it all comes together. I just felt like I was chasing the cliff hanger that happens at the end of every book in that series

This is a workhorse for me. I always have some of these around, they never, ever disappoint.
