Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur x X-Files

Image
Down to the nub. Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur, smoked like a dream. Perfect burn, slightly tight draw that was easily fixed with my fake Perfect Draw tool. Taste was very traditional; hay, cedar, toasted nuts, cereal. No complaints at all. I've read there is a Maduro of this, I would love to try it. X-Files played in the back, Scully is a mommy.

Tempus fugit, Foundation The Tabernacle

Image
Went over to the cigar lounge,  Genuine Tobacco , dragged Joey in on it. He had a Montecristo Classic Series, while I had this Tabernacle by Foundation. Good cigar, though I wish I could have gotten the Habana Seed CT version. Earthy AF, but not as leathery as I would have liked. Musky, Cocoa bitter. Great construction. Smoked it to a tiny nub. 

Beauty is a lie, Ruination pervades. News at 11:00

Threw a Gurkha Beauty 1/3 through because I was tired of wrestling. Also this is not a cigar blog. My life is just uneventful and I'm hyper focusing on any garbage that can distract me long enough to not collapse into total despair. Switched to a Man o War Ruination, it's starting off a bit peppery but maybe it will tone down, we:ll see.

Law and Order x Rocky Patel Vintage 1990

Image
Watched Law and Order in the car while smoking this, a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990. This cigar was textbook all the way, every word I read in its profile was precisely what I smoked. First cigar I've smoked in days that gave me zero issues, no burn issues, no bad tastes at any point whatsoever. I don't know what else to say about it, I enjoyed it so much that I think it may have ruined other, lesser cigars because if this is standard for Rocky Patel than anything less isn't worth it. 

Gurkha Beauty and Chick Corea being a Beast

Image
Grebe definition... One of the types of birds that apparently get merc'd by wind turbines. Reading The Crazies  by Amy Gamerman, about wind farms and law suits and such. Got some Chick Corea ripping in the background while I read, and I'm smoking a reading cigar, the Gurkha Beauty, a 6.5x58 behemoth. Had one of these like two weeks ago and it was awful, premature and too moist. This one, though I'm still in the first inch, is already a much more satisfying experience. The Connecticut wrapper is shining through with its on the lips sweetness and white pepper notes in the retrohale. Let me actually smoke and read for a bit and I'll write some more. Well it's done, I think that was a two hour smoke. After Chick Corea, threw on some Weather Report. First 3rd of the cigar was sweet and aromatic, and then somewhere into the second 3rd, nothing. A light, boring cigar. That must have been like 40 minutes of breathing cigar flavored air. Pleasant for ...
