Again a huge "Thank You" to mdman for providing the hook up.
I started the day off with the colada and figured the Tornados would be a great way to finish off the day. I was right. After downing two pints of guiness I felt it was time to chop the end off this gar and get down to business. The wrapper on this beauty was silkier than the skin of the brunette at the next table over. We went with pitchers of Newcastle, a personal favorite, and this wonderful cigar complemented the flavor of the beer magnificently. Clouds of smoke so huge were rolling from the table that the aforementioned brunette asked if I was on fire. The strength of this cigar was more than I expected and I was pleasently surprised by La Luna yet again. It burned like a pro, staying perfect through the whole smoke and provided solid dark grey ash. Never overpowering, it showed an educated combination of maduro sweetness, earthy undertones, and spicey contrast. Excellent cigar and one I'm probably going to end up smoking regularly. Hell, it ended up being the main reason the brunette at the next table gave me her number. What more can I say.

Lag, you have hooked up on one of my all time favorite cominations, Newcastle and the LLMF. They compliment each other perfectly.

Dadgummit! I live so far out in the sticks that there isn't a drop of Newcastle within 50 miles. Thank goodness I can get those LL MFs delivered right to my door. They are still good even if you're forced to smoke them with a Bud Light.
