Smoked: Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Desert Rose

Smoked at: West Chester, Ohio

Continuing the journey of getting reacquainted with old friends. Hadn't fired up a Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Desert Rose in a while. This is an excellent morning coffee pairing cigar. A year ago, you could find it online. Now all I can find is a tenskie of the Boss Lady for $140. Not sure if the Holts are getting out of the cigar business altogether, sold the brand in whole or in part. I'm going to miss this cigar if it disappears or gets reblended - rarely a good thing in my experience.

If anyone can find the Rose of Sharon for a reasonable price, please let me know. The same with the Caldwell Pepper Cream Soda green band. A year ago, you could find a 5-pack for under $30. Last month all I could find is a single for $25. Ouch!

Stay smoky, my friends!
