CAO The Sopranos Associate
Size: 5 x 52 Robusto
Appearance: This cigar looks good enough to eat, a nice dark/oily wrapper . It has two bands that are pretty cool looking and the cigar had no serious blemishes or major veins to report about.
Pre-Light: Before lighting this cigar, I took some draws from it and I got some light flavors of wood and leather. Cutting this cigar wasn't too bad and lighting it was hard either.
Burn/Draw: The burn started great, nothing bad EVER happened with the burn on this cigar. The draw was pretty normal, it was too loose or too tight, it was just right. The smoke that was a result of the draw wasn't abundant, but just enough to let me get the flavors.
Flavors: The first buff on this cigar was a real treat, it was loaded flavors of leather/earth goodness with some hints of wood. This happened for the first inch of the cigar then the flavors somewhat died off. Then the cigar went into a period of just being okay, nothing too special almost bland. But once I got to about an inch and a half left, the cigar got more and more flavor full....hmmm, weird.

Camacho Triple Maduro
Size: 6 x 54
Appearance: This cigar is one dark and tasty treat. The wrapper is so dark and it has absolutely no visible damage on it, although it was a bit rough..nothing too serious like veins and peeling.
Pre-Light: Clipping this cigar was very easy, thank god for the torpedo tip. Some of the pre-light draws that I took revealed some nice dark and rich earthy notes with some spicy goodness to it. I couldn't wait to light this bad boy up.
Burn/Draw: All the way through out this cigar, the draw was never in question. It was never too loose or too tight, just right. When I first started to light this cigar, I noticed that it wasn't lighting!!! It took me at least 7 mins to get a good light on it (major point deduction). The burn wasn't something to be proud to be about, but nothing too damaging to the experience of the cigar,
Flavors: Right off the bat this cigar seemed to be loaded with some earthy richness with a little hint of spice. This was continuous for the first 4 or 5 puffs of this stogie, then it took a turn that kind of surprised me. The cigar completely changed, all of the heavy earth flavors somewhat left completely. Untill later in the cigar the earth flavor returned and the spice notes increased but I couldn't hep but feel this cigar was alittle rushed while being made, it is still very young and it will only get better with age. I would love try again with some age on it.
Recommended but somewhat of a disappointment for me.

YAY!!!!
For the first time in my life I can say, I HAVE A JOB!! I work at an amusement park that takes me 25 mins to get there by public transportation. I will be working in a store that is located in the amusement park and as long as I work for them I will never have to pay to go into the park!! It's not full-time, hell it's not even part-time but it's a job nonetheless. I have all ready met a bunch of people and have made new friends so I hope work can be enjoyable.

La Plata Magnifico 10 year aged
Alittle info on this stogie and the line "La Plata" before my actual review, La Plata is the house blend that is at the B&M that me and Serg spend some of our Fridays. The cigar is called Magnifico and it's last production was back in 1997, 10 years ago, so one Friday I decided to smoke this cigar (which is only available in Corona size) and I was amazed with it. This was my third time around with this one cigar.
Pre-light: Clipping was simple but I did have to be careful since it was a small ring gauge, I didn't want to cut it wrong. The pre-light draw seemed alittle tight but it let up while smoking and the pre-light flavors reveled some nice leathery and earthy notes.
Flavors: Right off the bat, the first puff seemed to have a perfect combination of heavy earth and leather notes with alittle spicy hint to it. This went on for the most part 2 inches into the cigar, after that the spicy hints became more and more combined with the with earthy/leather notes. And toward the end of the cigar (around 2 inches left), the spice took over alittle bit and the earth/leather gave way to it, kinda sad to have it fade in the end, maybe it's because of the time it's been aged. Overall this is one great stogie that I will most likely smoke again and again.
Size: 5 1/2 x 42 Corona
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Appearance: Pretty tasty looking wrapper, Dark Natural covered a bit in "plume". The wrapper was a bit rough but nothing too serious that will dock major points. The band is simply, nothing too extravagant.
Pre-light: Clipping was simple but I did have to be careful since it was a small ring gauge, I didn't want to cut it wrong. The pre-light draw seemed alittle tight but it let up while smoking and the pre-light flavors reveled some nice leathery and earthy notes.Burn/Draw: The burn was spot on all through out this cigar, nice and sharp, practically perfect. The draw, tight at first, eased a bit and was pretty damn good; it unleashed nice clouds of smoke that lingered for some time when I blew the smoke out. The aroma had a spiciness to it, AWESOME.

F****
I hate being sick!!!! I want to have a nice stogie but if i smoke one, I won't even know what it tastes like (damn flu). I have most of my tasting ability still but I don't want to waste a cigar, especially a Montecristo #2.

It is much too hot over here in California, another day in triple digits with no relief in sight. Looks like I might have to get use to all the bad weather.

Football Wrapup: Chelsea Fall To Aston Villa, Celtic Trounce St Mirren's
http://www.chelseafc.com/page/NewsHomePage/0,,10268~1104669,00.html
The Villa Park difficulties continue as Mourinho's men go down to a first defeat of the season, conceding goals just after half-time and a few minutes before the final whistle.
http://www.celticfc.net/news/stories...907155702.aspxhttp://www.celticfc.net/news/stories...907155702.aspx
CELTIC returned to domestic action with a bang after their recent Champions League endeavours, drilling five past SPL opposition for the second league game in a row.
Given the midweek, extra-time exertions against Spartak it was perhaps expected that the early stages of this match would be something of a slow-burner, with both sides measuring each other in a cagey opening 20 minutes.
Gordon Strachan’s men were also adjusting to three changes in the midfield, with Paul Hartley, Evander Sno and Derek Riordan replacing Shunsuke Nakamura, Massimo Donati and Aiden McGeady.
Against St Mirren, Gordon Strachan’s men again stepped up a level, producing a thrilling, highly entertaining performance, with five different players all getting on the scoresheet.
Goals:
Celtic: S Brown 22', McDonald 25', Vennegoor of Hesselink 54', Riordan 56', McManus 74'
St Mirren: Miranda 75'
With the squad now breaking up for the forthcoming international series of international fixtures this win will send the players off on a high and the supporters genuinely looking forward to their return home against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on September 15.

The Villa Park difficulties continue as Mourinho's men go down to a first defeat of the season, conceding goals just after half-time and a few minutes before the final whistle.
A disjointed performance left the Chelsea side struggling to create genuine chances in the box and despite a whole host of set-pieces in our favour, Scott Carson in the Villa goal had too little to do.
It is loss that raised memories of the game at Middlesbrough early last season and questions will inevitably be raised about the team's ability to function without Frank Lampard. A two week break now awaits before positive answers to those can be given on the pitch.
Chelsea (4-3-3): Cech; Belletti, Alex, Terry (c), A Cole; Essien, Makelele (Kalou 62), Mikel (Pizarro 52); Wright-Phillips (J Cole 62), Drogba, Malouda.Booked Drogba 68
Aston Villa (4-4-2): Carson; Mellberg, Knight, Laursen, Bouma; Agbonlahor, Reo-Coker, Barry (c), Young; Moore, Carew (Petrov 78).
Scorers Knight 47, Agbonlahor 88.
Booked Reo-Coker 55, Barry 70, Carew 70, Agbonlahor 70.
