Cigar: Hispaniola Cristobal Colon 1492
Size: 6 x 55
Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Corojo 1996
Price: $348 per box of 20



Pre-Light: The Hispaniola Cristobal Colon 1492 is the second Hispaniola cigar I've reviewed this year. The first was a buttery smooth blend, wrapped in a lightly shaded wrapper that impressed us quite a bit. The HCC 1492 however is a departure from the mild tobaccos found in the El Trabuco 1844. This cigar is touted as full-bodied with full-strength by Hispaniola. This cigar is much more my speed when it comes to what I would normally choose to smoke for personal enjoyment.
The wrapper on the cigar is a dark brown Corojo from 1996 that has a red hue when viewed in sunlight. It is a very oily and smooth wrapper with a slight amount of tooth and few noticeable veins. The head is triple capped and perfectly applied as I have a hard time even noticing the second cap in the series. The foot shows a tightly packed and evenly snipped cut. The cigar looks as good in appearance as any cigar I’ve reviewed to date. With the red on white main band above a matching white on red band, the cigar looks elegant and inviting.
The scent of the cigar is sweet in nature, but has a distinctive barnyard aroma to it with a heavy tobacco smell added. The cap clips easily with the head retaining its shape well. Toasting the foot reveals sweet aromas and a slightly floral scent. Nutty aromas follow. I’m ready to spark this bad boy.

1/3rd: The first few puffs from the HCC 1492 are full or woody notes, sweetness, and a finishing flavor that is reminiscent of the flavor you find in a bell pepper. There isn’t any spice yet that is noticeable, but a pepper flavor is quite noticeable to me. The burn starts very even and produces a slightly less than white ash that looks firm and stays straight for the entirety of the first third. The smokes sweetness develops slightly to show a few hints of caramel as I finish the first third. Woody notes remain the throughout the smoke, with a few shots of leather thrown in for good measure.

2/3rd: While the HCC 1492’s smoke has developed somewhat, it is still not what I would call a full-bodied offering. The smoke is very tasty and has great flavors, but those who might be looking for a top-end cigar of the full-strength and full-bodied types might find this cigar a bit underwhelming. As I reach the halfway point, I notice a slight spice added to the flavor profile that makes this cigar a bit more interesting. The middle portion of the cigar presents a hint of nutmeg here and there, but it is faint and not a focal point of the flavor. A few coffee flavors pop onto the tongue as well, but quickly fade into a woody finish.

3/3rd: The final third starts off with much deeper flavors than the first two thirds, with the slight coffee notes becoming a mainstay in the flavor profile while finishing with a vanilla-bathed wood taste. It washed out into a very fresh, almost black truffle scented aroma on the retro-hale. The cigar finishes strong, with the smoke finally reaching the full-bodied status it touts with about 3 inches to spare. The last few inches of cigar become very heavy and burn very slowly. The flavors have stayed constant throughout the final third and stay until I finally decide to let the cigar go to rest.

Final Thoughts: From beginning to end, the Hispaniola Cristobal Colon 1492 showed delectable flavors while offering a rich smooth smoke. It burned very slowly, nearing a one hour and 40 minute burn that developed from a creamy and smooth lighter body to a thick and mouth coating full body that provides the smoker with coffee and wood flavors. While the cigar did require a couple of minor touchups with a lighter to correct a slightly uneven burn, it didn’t affect the flavor or the enjoyment of the cigar and therefor will not be a detractor from the final scoring. I feel that the HCC 1492 is a fine cigar that should not be over looked when shopping for what amounts to be a mostly medium bodied cigar with a full-bodied finish. While it won’t satisfy those looking for a ton of strength, it will appease those of us who value a flavor more than strength. Any cigar smoker who considers themself to be a connoisseur of fine tobaccos would be hard pressed to find a stick of higher quality.

Couldn’t have said it better; I think Bayern will take the final game. They have home field advantage and both Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez are on fire. Chelsea is without their captain John Terry and defender Branislav Ivanovic and I’m not sure if Lampard, Drogba, and Essien are going to make a difference. But Chelsea became a different team since interim coach Roberto Di Matteo took hold of the squad.

He was having trouble choosing among three
likely candidates.. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to
see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her
hair done, new makeup; buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely
for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for
him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts... She gets him a new set of
golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As
she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on
him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the
$5,000... She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a
joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because
she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the
money he'd given her.

An unparalleled look at the history of an icon, Partagás El Libro is a culmination of efforts from many of the world’s leading experts on the Cuban cigar and Cuban history.

Over 200 pages of information and never before published images from the National Archives of Cuba, the archives of Partagás, the Tobacco Museum in Havana and private and public collections around the world. A must have for anyone interested in cigars and Cuba of the past.

• Learn about Jaime Partagás’ conviction for selling counterfeit cigars.

• See rare and unusual packaging and advertising from throughout the ages.

• Learn about the cigar industry in the 19th century Havana.

Proceeds from the book will generate a donation directly to the Tobacco Museum in Havana to aid in their mission to research, collect and exhibit information on the best tobacco in the world.

In order to help finance the printing and shipping I am starting to take pre-orders. The book will retail in different jurisdictions between $115 & 140.

During Sunday services at the offertory, some worshippers contribute casino chips as opposed to cash. Some are sharing their winnings - some are hoping to win. Since they get chips from so many different casinos, and they are worth money, the Catholic churches are required to send all the chips into the diocese for sorting. Once sorted into the respective casino chips, one junior priest takes the chips and makes the rounds to the casinos turning chips into cash.

Apparently I collapsed while out celebrating with others for my daughters 21st birthday. Seems I have pneumonia, dehydration, arrhythmia and a few other things. What I want to touch on is the schooling I got on pneumonia.

It seems that the current variations of pneumonia bacteria are more potent and deadly than say 20 years ago. Over 20% of those that come down with pneumonia die from it - even with antibiotics. That's a lot brothers. I had no idea.

There is a vaccine. I had no clue that there was. According to the CDC anyone 65 or older and those that are at least 50 should be getting this vaccine.

I will be fine. I see my regular doctor in the morning and this gnash in my forehead (from passing out and hitting something) should heal in a few days. Even though I currently have pneumonia, I was given the injection which will last me 5 years and then I'll need another one.

But please - all of my BOTL's who are over 50, research it and please check with your doctors and see if this vaccine is right for you. Would not want to lose anyone to this if it could be prevented.

I stopped by Triple B Clays yesterday to get my car washed, and take a lesson from Ray Brown.

Yep, I said "get my car washed".

They have a mobile car wash crew in the parking lot, and for $15 they'll wash your car while you're out shooting, having lunch or smoking a cigar. I swear when I picked up my car it looked better than the day I bought it.

I've known Ray for a while, so with the state shoot a month away at Raahauge's, my buddy Leonard (Master Class) and I (B Class) decided to take a two-hour lesson to get "tuned up".

Two guys, two hours, $90 each.

We started out with gun-fit. Turns out my comb was in the wrong place, and LOP on Leonard's gun was too short.

Ray adjusted my comb, and added a pad to Leonard's gun, and we headed out to the range.

I won't give you the details of the lesson (that will cost you $90) but we shot, made adjustments, shot more, and made more adjustments, shot a little more, made a few more adjustments. In the end we both made improvements.

He was hit by a truck owned by the Eversweet Company.

In court, the Eversweet Company's hot-shot attorney questioned him thus:

'Didn't you say to the state trooper at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?"
Olie responded: 'vell, I'lla tell you vat happened dere. I'd yust loaded my fav'rit cow, Bessie, into da... '

'I didn't ask for any details', the lawyer interrupted. 'Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?'

Olie said, 'vell, I'd yust got Bessie into da trailer and I vas drivin' down da road.... '

The lawyer interrupted again and said, 'Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question. '

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Olie’s answer and said to the attorney: 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite cow, Bessie'.

Olie said: 'Tank you' and proceeded. 'vell as I vas saying, I had yust loaded Bessie, my fav'rit cow, into de trailer and was drivin' her down de road vin dis huge Eversweet truck and trailer came tundering tru a stop sign and hit me trailer right in da side by golly. I was trown into one ditch and Bessie was trown into da udder ditch.

By yimminy yahosaphat I vas hurt, purty durn bad, and didn't want to move. An even vurse dan dat,, I could hear old Bessie a moanin' and a groanin'. I knew she vas in terrible pain yust by her groans.

Shortly after da accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie a moanin' and a groanin' too, so he vent over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her right between the eyes.

Den da policeman came across de road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feelin'?'

'Now wot da fokk vud you say?' ]]> Jokes emopunker2004 http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=55687 http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=55675&goto=newpost Sat, 12 May 2012 18:33:12 GMT So, I've been using iheartradio on my iphone a ton lately. I listen to a bunch of sports talk stations out in the shop and in the car. (I plug my phone into my car radio and into my DeWalt jobsite radio.)
I also use it like Pandora, and here's the thing...

It's free.
You can build your own stations.
No commercials and zero talk on stations you build.
You can listen to all sorts of radio stations, including local ones.
It never times out and shuts off, nor does it nag you in any way.
The selection it plays on stations I build completely kicks Pandora's ass. It's very broad, but very much within what I want to hear.

I honestly like this way better than Sirius, Pandora, Slacker, or anything else I've ever tried. You guys should check it out if you haven't already. The price is right, that's for sure. :tu ]]> General Discussion shilala http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=55675 http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=55674&goto=newpost Sat, 12 May 2012 17:55:57 GMT I pulled out a ILLUSIONE EPERNAY LE MATIN out of the Vino and I was amazed the feel of the box press.

It was a dekightful cigar with lots of smoke. The flavors are real complex and I am enjoying the lightness of this smoke in the early morning. It pairs well with my morning coffee as the flavor profiles are similar. I totally recommend this cigar and I am sad to oly have one left. Looks like I need to go to the B&M and buy some of these.

It's about 6 3/8" long, no band, small pigtail, semi closed front.

Any ideas on what it is?

I started smoking cigars last year while camping. So this time I'm planning on a new one when I go. Last month was a Tatuage Havana VI and a Liga Privada #9. Very good cigars both. Next week it's a My Uzi weighs a Ton and a Pinar Del Rio Oscuro. I also grabed a 5 Vegas Tripple A. with seven of these trips planned this year, I should be able to sample quite a few new sticks. :noon ]]> All Cigar Discussion Big Maduro http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=55671
