Ooooo..Think I am going to have a loooonnnggg smoke with a Churchill...

Laters

[Robusto]

After my phat NC, I've had some mature cheddar and biscuits.

I'm going to follow that now with a D4.
I'm going to Juan Lopez No2 after that.
Then I'm having a Bolivar Royal Corona.

I think that's an intelligent order there.
Page me quick if you think I should do a swapsie.

I'm in the mood, and I may polish one off in bed.

Sometimes I disappear to a carvery on my own and go back for endless plates of meat. No vegetables required.

Three addictions all fessed up there.
Mmmm...

Joined Harry and Pantomimehorse for a smoke after work where I had a San Cristobal El Principe. Good god it was delicious and I very reluctantly had to call it quits when I was down to the last 3/4 of an inch, if I had had a toothpick I'd have kept going...

It was, for want of a better word, fanfuckingtasticallydeliciouslytasty

I kinda liked it

But was it any good?

I had a Partagas Piramides from 2000. Man it was gorgeous...oily-black, silky wrapper, lustruous sheen, just the right amount of 'give' when gently squeezed...perfect draw, spicy,citrus,peppery flavours...smoked all the way to the nub A joy

I need a manicure

*cough*It was the 10th*cough*

I had an Acid Kuba Kuba courtesy of Boss Hog . It was mental! Upon opening the small parcel I could smell them (also an Acid Earthiness in there) through the bag. Very strongly scented, a bit like a hippy shop or head shop. I thought I wasn't going to like them based on the smell, but then I stuck it in my gob. The wrapper left a very sweet residue on my lips, almost as if it had been dipped in syrup. Not sticky to the touch though.
The construction was excellent (probably the best I've seen), as was the draw. The burn was slightly off but then I was smoking it while driving with the window open.
The scent while smoking it was nowhere near as strong as I expected it to be. It was strange though, as it seemed to be very light/mild tobacco yet with the strong added flavours. I didn't notice any progression of flavours, but they did get stronger.

All in all, an interesting idea. They did taste quite synthetic compared to 'normal' cigars but not unpleasant. I'm not sure what I'd drink with it due to the incredibly powerful and odd flavour. I think my overall reaction to this cigar is 'confused'. I'd certainly smoke another, but I'm not sure if I'd buy them myself as they'd need separate storage to the 'normal' sticks. Interesting; looking forward to trying the Earthiness just to compare. I suspect that will be very different yet again.

Mommy, Mommy, look at me, mommy!!!

A loverly little Trindad Reyes on my way across London for a meeting.

I love the short sharp punch and the fact that I don't get a 'big stogie' mouth hangover from these wonderful little cigars.

Remember who introduced to the lil' bugger? Hmmmm??

Names TJ, TJCoro, and I get no repect around these parts!

At least my balls love me!

[Kdot]

I smoked an exquisite Swisher Sweet courtesy of King Cohiba followed by a hand made cigar using a blunt wrap and some aged tobacco that was in the same tin accompanied by a belvedere and cranberry, the perfect pallet cleanser IMO

anyone else try to make their own cigars???

[TJCoro]
