A few months back I was gifted a couple Elevation Havana Legends. The first one was sooo bad it jumped right out of my hand and went across the street. I need some room in one of my humidors and decided to smoke the second. I really wasn't expecting much, however I was pleasantly surprised and nubbed that puppy. It's funny what aging will do for a cigar.

Had to take a break from writing my self review, so I broke out a Partagas Cifuentes Novembre 2004 with a little Macallan 12. Not a bad smoke to go along with a good drink....it sure was a lot better than dealing with the review (at least right now).

Had another A. Fuente Hemingway Short Story. Man I love this cigar. Top 5.

“The end of a good smoke is a little saddening. In some regard, it’s a bit like losing a best friend who had time to sit and listen.”

Had an Oliva Serie V Torpedo this past weekend.  It was so good I will be having another one this evening as I get ready for the start of the NHL playoffs. 

Damn! Can't wait!

Alright another hockey fan. No cigar for me tonight, but glad its playoff time. Who are you pulling for? Since my hometown team the Thrashers didn't make it, I'm pulling for my second favorite team which is the Detroit Red Wings.

tonight I went to my pastors house and smoked aroma de cuba paired with byfrost ale after an awsome steak dinner with a mutual freind and the pastors husband (yes thats right, the pastor is a woman). it was a little too cold to be comfortable, but good company can overshadow such annoyances. steak was perfect, beer was great, cigars were exceptional as always. it was a good night for sure.

I too am a hockey fan and glad to see that the playoffs started. Especially since they started with a win for my team. The Colorado Avalanche. Even though I don't get to watch too many games here in Iraq, I will celebrate tonight though. I think with a Graycliffe Professionale Presidente. Haven't tried one of those yet.

Was going to go to the gym last night but just couldn't do it. Fired up a Playboy robusto instead. It was pleasant, not complex at all, medium bodied, woody flavor.

Grew up in upstate New York but now live in DC so I am pulling for the Caps.  Should be fun.

 

Oh...and that Oliva was better than the first.  Probably because the weather was perfect and the Masters and Playoffs were starting, but it was excellent.

Gurka Beast! Yum!

Go Wings! Went to the game last night. Joe Louis is great to watch a game at. Unbelievable. Had a Graycliff Blue Label PG beforehand... what a smoke. Smooth and tasty! AND, my Irish beat Michigan in the Frozen Four last night. What a night of hockey (in my opinion!)!!

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

I'm jealous, even if it was the Wings (and I can't believe I'm saying this as an Aves fan) but I think the Wings are probably gonna take the cup this year. I haven't really seen anyone that can compete against them. Now I'm even more jealous of Heath and pilot. Gurkhas mmmmmmmmm. I haven't found one that I didn't like yet. I need to buy some more for my humi. All I have is one centurian left and it is aging for now.

this afternoon i lit up a gurkha regent.


this is the first time a gurkha has ever let me down. I couldnt get a decent draw off of this sucker to save my life.

I poked and prodded and i could not clear the blockage. about an inch in i had to let it go. it was sad.


However, i ran to my humi and got myself a Camacho 1962. I got them about a week after they were first put on sale. the rest has done them well. Im going to let them sit a bit longer. THe flavor was good but it seemed to butn a tiny bit on the hot side. (my own fault im sure)

Maybe next week ill try and make up with gurkha... right now im still a bit mad at them. im sure it wont last though.
