Tree Place #3

Found another secret hidden tree farm on the border of Warwick and Chester, NY. This place had a lot of good trees in a relatively small area. Here I am cutting down our selection. Weird lighting and shadows make this tree look yellow and half dead, but it's actually very green and healthy.

Tree Place #2

We tried a new Christmas tree fsrm in Warwick, NY but the farm is too new and the trees are still too small. Cool little hidden place, but we left without a tree.

Christmas Tree Day

The annual trip to Augusta, NJ to get the tree. It was rainy and cold this year and we didn't stay long enough to cut one down.

Out with the Old

This fat little Nording has been sitting in my humidor easily for ten years. When Nubs first came out and Kevin was describing them to me, his description reminded me of this Nording that I knew I had lying in my humidor. Any hoo, I have decided, for no particular reason at all, that it's time to reduce this cigar to ashes. Buh-bye Nording.
