And we will shoot some Parkers and smoke some cigars. I am accumulating some local Connecticut wrappers. The wrapper comes from near Edgar's house, the filler from next to my farm.
And bring that straight grip long barreled late serial number Parker with you.

Will do. I can smell those Yankee ceegars now.

Come on!! You guys are going to be in Pennsylvania! The only thing to smoke is Scranton's finest --

Thanks for the memories Dave. My grandfather always had a De Nobili hanging from his mouth but he never smoked it... he just chewed on it for hours. I would love to find an image of a pack of De Nobili cigars and post it but it would take me days.

ps; Thanks again for the help over on the Fox site.

Thanks Dave
I have often seen that box but never partaken. Around my Connecticut River Valley, if I am smoking a cigar, my farmer friends want to know where the binder, wrapper and filler are from and it better be Connecticut Broadleaf, Connecticut Shade or all of the above.
We grow it and send most to the DR to be stored and rolled there.
There is a local brand- Topstone/Topper in New Haven that uses Broadleaf for all 3- wrapper/binder/filler.
I will try to find some Parodi's.

Dave - I grew up in Delaware, and those Parodis were known as "Guinea Stinkers"

Dean Romig 05-14-2015 10:45 AM

Those little Parodi's are really good at keeping the black flies and mosquito's away when I'm up on the West Branch.

George M. Purtill 05-14-2015 10:51 AM

Daryl- I apologize for screwing up your thread on that fine Fox (no-not your girlfriend) with all this cigar talk.
But I guarantee there will be no black flies or mosquitos around you and me on the clays course.

Daryl Corona 05-14-2015 11:37 AM

No problem George. They all go together- Good cigars, good whiskey, good shotguns and , last but not least, good friends.
Don't worry about the black flies or mosquitos as they will have honed in on Dean and followed him down from the north country.:)
