Cigar Weekly

Cedarman · 01-25-2003, 11:12 AM

The generous folks at the Reno Herf kept my traveldor perpetually replenished. I was pulling out over 25 sticks a day and they magically got replaced. Gotta love a herf!

Since I only smoke habanos, domestics have a hard time competing for space in my cabinet. But I've been adventurous this week trying out some of the new legal stuff. I'm really surprised! Here's what I've found enjoyable:

CAO Brazilia Pirahna (right on, I love this little guy, BRAVO!)

Carlos Torano Silver-White labeled Exodus? It was either a Churchill or Lonsdale from grtx. (very smooth and tasty, and I lit it up after smoking a mouth watering '97 Esplendido, now that says alot about a cigar!)

La Luna Natural Fuerte, Churchill (Take a bow Gael, you've got a recipe on this one.)

Perdomo Fresco Torpedo (Great cigar, rich flavour, & tons of Smoke! So much smoke that while driving in stop and go traffic, low visibility clouds drifted out and inside the cars in front of me. You could actually see the smoke in their CAR!!! So, after fumigating a dozen cars, I rolled my windows up . BTW, it's been almost 80 degrees here this week.)

Well, there ya have it, some really great cigars worth trying. I've got more to try yet, but that will take some time. A big thank you to the sponsors and members who donated these great cigars. The Loyal Order of the Caribou salutes you.

Gee Jim if I'd only known how adventurous you were being I would have given you one of my 'aged connies' for a test spin!

Got Cubans?

I gotta tell you that there are some excellent smokes out there coming from Nicauagua and Honduras. I know there are some good Dominicans out there but I smoke almost none of them.

I find myself gravitating more toward nic smokes than most others. But then I don't smoke that many Cubans. I like them I just don't buy many.

Domestics right now are as good or better than they have been in a few years.

I'm glad you found some you can enjoy.

Jim, THAT is funny as hell. That's in Kalabania right? Look out, Rob Reiner and the legislature are going to forbid smoking in the car, next.

I am still marvelling over the fantastic selection of smokes that the Reno herf produced

Great People, Great Time, Great Cigars.

for all you folks that didn't make the trip.

Jim I could not agree more, I pulled one from the HERF the other day too. Man it was not just the view from the hot tub that made it good it was just down right tasty.
