Appearance: A beautiful dark brown, a nice sheen and very few veins. Construction was firm but not hard, no lumps. It was a little soft at the foot but firm the rest of the way.

Pre-light Aroma: Nada. Zip. Zero. A touch of spice, more toward the pepper side but hardly any aroma at all.

Cap: A very neat coil that reminded me of a cinnamon roll. That was a nice touch.

Pre-light Draw: This was also very good. It didn't take too much effort, just enough.

Light-up: I toasted the foot and was rewarded with a mild, peppery sense in my nose more like a white pepper than a freshly ground black pepper.

Smoke: Not too much at the beginning with this one which surprised me a little. As I get into it it's starting to produce a bit more.

Burn: Unlike the 7th Capa Especial, this has less of a straight burn but isn't tunneling. The ash is a medium mottled grey and stays put well. This cigar is much heavier than it looks, hinting at a plentiful amount of leaf without having any draw problems. I've had to re-light several times once I got near the halfway point and it's starting to get a metallic taste to it. As dense as this roll is, I wondered if I would have to do that and I have. As well, the volume of smoke has increased quite a bit.

Flavor: This reminds me of more a woody, earthy flavor with just enough pepper and chewy on the back end. The Habano wrapper reminds me more of a maduro in taste and has a stronger finish that reminds me of a Nica Libre but not quite as heavy. Although this has more of a one-dimensional mild flavor at the start, about an inch into it the strength picks up quite a bit. It tastes like it could use some aging as it gives me the impression that it hasn't had time for the characteristics of the different leaves to meld.

Overall this is a cigar I would probably let rest for several months to see if it would bring out any additional flavors and also to see if it tames the overall dark flavor. I might be generous giving this a five out of ten but not because it's bad, it just doesn't have the complexity of some others. ]]> Cigar Reviews gui_tarzan http://forums.cigarweekly.com/showthread.php?t=171670 Montecristo Social Club http://forums.cigarweekly.com/showthread.php?t=171669&goto=newpost Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:02:10 GMT I joined a couple of months ago for free and got a really cool cigar punch.

I listen to Blow'n Smoke pod cast sometimes (they get a bit too dirty for my liking sometimes, so it is in moderation) but the same format could be followed. The show reviews a cigar, among several guys, while going over different news articles and events both on the topic of cigars and beyond. but by the end of the show you get a cigar review, and funny commentary about a wide range of things.

There is one... There is a very shallow, low slope valley that runs through much of joplin, draining maybe 5-10 square miles slowly to the middle. There is one particular bottleneck that floods once in a while, it's about a mile long, and at the lowest point of land. We wound up at some point with about 5 feet of water in a railroad underpass with a car ass deep in it, and the "creek"/storm canal that goes through town burst its banks at the bottleneck, and flooded maybe a square mile of the area 1-2 feet deep over the unofficial banks" of the river. Downstream, they rebuilt it about 50 feet wide, and even this 50 feet wide section, still in a valley, flooded up to the banks, if the debris hooked along it is any indication. The banks open on a park with numerous flood plain areas that were apparently deep underwater for a while.

Past that park, we have another series of hills and flood plains, and at the end of that flood plain, another bottleneck. I'm going to take a wild assed guess at it, and estimate that the water at that point may have been 4 feet or more over the road, since the flood plain drops right onto the road, the hills drain straight down to it, and it passes under a trestle. I've seen it up to two and nearly 3 feet at times. This creek narrows down to only 15-20 feet at that area, and at least in general, maybe a third or even more of joplin drains into it.

The canal starts out about 10 or so feet wide about 4 miles south and collects storm water all the way through this natural basin.

Officially, we got between 3 and 5 inches over maybe 5 hours or so of very intense rain. There was hail, too, but I didn't see it, I just heard the rain coming down. I can't even remember all the times that a certain strip of businesses that were built too low have been flooded. ]]> Close But No Cigar Briandg http://forums.cigarweekly.com/showthread.php?t=171657 <![CDATA[Here's something you don't see very often...]]> http://forums.cigarweekly.com/showthread.php?t=171655&goto=newpost Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:17:39 GMT Image: http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o92/quipfan/scary_squirrel_zps8362c668.jpg ... ]]> Close But No Cigar quipfan http://forums.cigarweekly.com/showthread.php?t=171655 Chrome is blocking access to CW http://forums.cigarweekly.com/showthread.php?t=171653&goto=newpost Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:59:49 GMT I had to use, shudder, IE to access CW to post this.
