A New Hope

It’s that time of year again. The flowers are blooming; the birds are chirping, and the boys of summer are back (it helps if you’re listening to Thin Lizzy at this moment). Yes, I’m talking about opening day, one of the greatest days of the year, right up there with Christmas and Arbor day (okay, not really). Baseball is back, for their April to September marathon of a season, the second longest in any sport. And it this day, and this day only, where every fan of any of the 30 major league teams believes that it is their year. From the perennial contenders like the Braves, Red Sox, and Yankees, to the bottom dwellers like the Devil Rays, to, well, what can I say about the Cubs, really…
Opening day brings up many great feelings and some bad ones too. It was last year that Jesbus (Jeebus) and I stood in line waiting for opening day tickets to the Braves-dodgers game at Dodger Stadium. Well, it was no surprise that we did not get them, and sadly, it was a great game, a high scoring game, an exciting game. The Braves spanked the dodgers, yet, we went the next night, and for some reason, the Braves lost that one.
But those feeling should be forgotten, because opening day is like, well, the Messiah if you will…it brings hope for everyone. Well, at least for one day…(unless you’re a Cubs fan, then sadly, you just don’t have any)…

Oh Emo!

THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR HAVING THE FRAY AS YOUR MYSPACE SONG!

Partagas Fall Selection

On first impression this stogie looked and felt like a cigar. The wrapper was smooth, not very toothy and not very vainy. I got this cigar at my local B & M as a gift...so i enjoyed the heck out of it. Anyway on with the review.

Pre-draw/Lighting: Clipping this cigar was fairly easy due to it's skinny structure. The pre -draw was a bit on the tight side but it didn't hamper the draw. Lighting was fun, i got to use a triple torch lighter...so it lit perfectly and i never had to do any touch ups or re-lights

Taste/Flavors: The taste of this stogie was almost chocolaty, it reminded me alot of the Partagas Black Label. The first half of this cigar was differently full bodied and rich in almost a dark chocolate taste. The middle of the cigar was pretty much alot of the same (chocolaty)....i had a flavor that i have come to describe as "a partagas taste" because they all are similar in a way. i enjoyed this cigar very much so that i might even smoke another....if it's for free again.

(also since i was 7)

hopefully they dont play each other

RP Connecticut

Okay....This cigar has a nice feel to it and by the first impression i knew that it was going to be a mild one. I personally enjoy smoking RP's because of the quality and construction of the cigars.....well anyways on with the review.

Pre-light/Clipping: Well the clipping was a breeze....i used a normal cutter which was the only one available at my B&M. The pre-light draw so very smooth, creamy, with a little hint of sweetness to it.

lighting/Flavors: Lighting was fairly simple and i never had to touch it up. I had a perfect cone when i dumped the ash(a sign of good construction) and it was a razor sharp burn. I mainly got hints of what tom (colbypants) would describe as tang and faint hints of creaminess. The flavors left me a bit disappointed.......but i would still recommend it to any one looking for a very mild cigar.

Shakey's Buffet

It has become a tradition that pretty much once every month or so, me and a group of people go to shakey's and fest like kings. So today, me and my good friends Victor(better know as Captain Crash) decided that we should head on over to the buffet. Located only about 7 city blocks away from us, we arrived in about 30 minutes. The first round of food included the usual pizza, fried chicken, and potato wedges or MOJO'S. Needless to say...the rest of my plates consisted of these three things...only in more abundant amount. Overall the experience was a great one...as always....even though was we exited the pizza parlor we felt even more sluggish and my heart felt like it was going to explode. A small price to pay to enjoy the artery clogging goodness that is Shakey's.

Montecristo #4

I decided to smoke this fine cigar yesterday and all i can say is WOW!!! Although it is a small looking cigar, i took my time smoking it so i can get the full flavors of the stogie. Clipping the cigar was a breeze and the pre-light draw seems a little tight but never hampered the smoking experience.

Appearance/Lighting: Like i said it is a small cigar, the wrapper was smooth and it wasn't at all vainy. Lighting the cigar wasn't an issue, i simply just toasted the foot until it was a nice golden brown and re-lighting was never an issue with this stogie.

Taste/Flavors: At the beginning of the cigar, i was getting hints of wood and spice but as i got toward the middle....It was simply GREAT. At the middle, the cigar was very creamy and smooth, it was almost sweet to me. This cigar to me was most definitely a mild to medium.

I would recommend to anyone who want to try a Montecristo for the first time

RP Edge second

On the first impression, this cigar looks and feels like a cigar. It had a rough wrapper and was very vainy. Clipping the cigar was very easy and the pre-light draw seemed a little tight but then again it's a second. the lighting wasn't very hard and it kept a nice even burn, but then it went all down hill. It lacked a major flavor profile and seemed a bit bitter. Although this cigar is a second , i should have been able to get the gist of the flavor of the regular line. I only smoked about 2 to 2 1/2 inches before i said "why waste my breath".

Overall 1-10

My score: 3

La Vieja Habana

I was actually looking forward to this cigar, having never tried anything from Drew Estate i was really curious. The appearence was a good one, it looked very nice and and clipping was extremely easy. The draw was never an issue, but the taste was!!! It wasn't very good and lacked real flavors. I ONLY smoked about an inch and a half before i decided to toss it.
