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.


1-10
Overall: 2 1/2

St. Patty's day reunion/party

When i think about a St. Patricks Day Party the first things that come to mind are the color green and BOOZE. But i didn't wear green or consumed a vast amount of beer....it was more of a reunion of old friends and the making of new friends at the party hosted at my friends house Oscar. At first the party was an extreme bore!!!!....with only 5 people including myself...but once the friends started to arriving...so did the memories. Once a good amount of people had arrived, the host Oscar in timely fashion organized the drinks. Having only drunken two shots and two beers i was fine but it was more then just ONE night of fun, it's was the ONE night to re-live, as my friend David would put it "the good times". I mainly spent the time talking to my friends about what they had been up to since our completion of high school. While talking to Manny he told me that he has begun to work but is also attending school, he also reminded me of the time that he called all women over 30 old maids!!!!...and teacher wasn't pleased (she was over 35). I also talked to another friend, Edith, and we automatically began doing what we did in high school...*poke poke poke*....she understands...she also had a bunch of friends whom i can't really place a names on but they were fun to be around. As the night progressed, Oscar the host of the party was trying his best to get everyone to dance but no one moved an inch....and around 11 p.m. the party began to fade (mainly because the booze ended...sorry Jeff), so i decided to start saying my good-bye's. Once the good-bye's were said and the people began to laugh uncontrollably due to intoxication, I began my LENGTHY block and a half walk back home.

Seeing everyone again brought back a piece of me that i thought died at graduation but clearly i was wrong.....as David would say "GOOD TIMES???"....more like great times.

here's a little St Patty's Day saying for all my friends.....

Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!
