A brother brought this stick to the book club tonite. He smoked one and said he had to put it down. He said it tasted downright nasty, like it had cleaner or something in it. It smells literally like wet grass that molded under a lawnmower deck (anyone who has cleaned a lawnmower deck would know exactly what smell I'm describing). Everyone examined it and smelled it. Just like wet, moldy grass. After some discussion, we all agreed there's no way this cigar will ever be anything but a dissectable specimen to see what the hell is up. Nastiest cigar I've ever smelled. Pic attached.

Lots of smoke, creamy smooth start, oak & leather as well as a very noticeable amount of nicotine, chocolate and cherry on the exhale
Nice burn and draw, smoke is perfect.
Pepper, oak & leather on the tongue, made me sneeze, coffee mocha a bit also.
Burn is going a bit wonky now
2nd 1/3 Dry semi sweet chocolate, oak & leather follows, all after taste on lip and tongue, nice.
Reminds me a 3/4 version of the Kristoff Maduro Robusto so far.
I don't particularity like pepper but its light and balanced with the other flavors.
Gets stronger at the last 1/3rd but the same semi sweet chocolate, oak & leather slight pepper.

The strength is medium to full and the complexity is above average
Second third cocoa and mocha starts to come out with a hint of caramel
Third much like the second but still creamy and smooth with a touch of tangy pepper, maybe from the heat-up.

The hard draw made it frustrating to capture the fullness of the cigar and would have enjoyed more of the cedar spice, cinnamon, and sweet syrup smoke that was faded in the background.

Some woody hints, especially in the second third but smoother, slight bitterness reappears in the last third. Sharp ash burn and slow and cool

Simply a damn good cigar. I must have been the only one in the good ole USA not to have tried this little gem. Fortunately, a bud who owns a local cigar shop gifted me one after I turned him onto a riteous maduro stick. Late in the day and he was looking to close up shop, but then he fired up a heater. So, I asked him to pick me a short, quick stick with which to join him. He came out with the Short Story and I was able to go to work on it. This was my first Cameroon wrapper cigar, so the SS was one I was looking forward to.
Very mild pre-light aroma and nice, open draw after carefully cutting the cap. Initial taste was the fullest throughout the cigar. Immediately, an aroma and taste of really good salty buttered toast. It sounds nuts, but I swear that's what came through. Soon followed by smooth aged tobacco, a little leather and cedar. Really tasty cigar with exceptionally smooth flavors. Burn was flawless, as was the draw. At one point, a sweet taste came through on the lips- not in the overall taste...very interesting. Did I mention this was really smooth & creamy?
Took this little figurado to the nub, which I rarely do. Did not get too hot and no off flavors. Overall, perfect construction, burn and draw. Time from cut to set down was 50 min. Flavors, while on the mild/medium side, were very nice. All in all, I'd say this is the perfect stick for those times when you want a good tasting quick cigar. Highly recommended.

I finished the 10 smokes last week and Mac just sent me the names to I can post the comments/cigar names today.

Here they are:

#1: Great Cigar! Presidente size. Burned perfectly, I love that. Had a woodsy semi-strong flavor, smelled GREAT!. Lasted 25+ minutes. Loved this CIGAR, would be good anytime. I will buy some of these.... (name: Cuban stock Extra Churchill)

#2: Good smoke. Not too strong, got better as it smoked, stronger as well, but mellow also. Burned well. Loved the ending. Would buy. (name: Cain Maduro Toro)

#3: Pigtail... strong maduro. Strong all the way thru. Very strong at the end. Burned very well. Would buy but not as my all go to cigar, and definately not my a daily smoke. (name: PDR 1878 Capa Oscura Robusto)

#4: Really good mellow smoke. Woodsy complex flavor, maybe some coffee in there as well. Burned very well, had a perfect ashe, just the right size. Would keep 10 of these on hand for just the right time. Would be perfect for visitors who do not smoke often. (name: Perdomo Gran Crurobusto)

#5: Dark maduro. Good and strong. Very consistent. Had some spice to it and a bit woodsy, but not too much. Strong to the end, good ending. Good cigar, really good if you like a strong slow smoke. (name: Macanudo Vintage 1997 Maduro Toro)

#6: Smoked this after a fish dinner with a dark beer. My wife shared some of it with me as well. OK cigar, not really outstanding though. Got strong at the end, but was not consistent throughout. Burned well. Had some bite at times... ( name: Devil's Weed Nicot)

#7: Blondie. Nice mellow smoke. Not strong, did not get strong at the very end either. Burned very well. Very enjoyable, would be good anytime and I would buy. (name: Emerson's House Blend Corona)

#8: Dark Maduro: started good, was strong and tasty. Quickly started to burn very uneven and I could not fix it after multiple tries, after an inch it really took off. By half way thru it ended up being a chore to smoke. Total bust by this point. I cut it off and relit the the last one quarter, but by this time it was just not pleasant anymore. (5 Vegas Gold Maduro Belicoso)

#9: Large torpedo blondie: Smelled plain but quickly burned very strong. Had a woodsy spice to it and very smokey. Not bad but would not be one of my regulars. It was a 20 min smoke. (name: Greycliff's G2 Turbo)

#10: Good cigar. Burned well, pleasantly strong all the way thru, good strong. Kind of blew up at the end with the wrapper coming off. Still a very good cigar and I liked it. (name: CAO Sopranos Soldier)

This is, IMHO, one of the best of the AB line. From a sampling of around a dozen of these sticks, found them to have very good draw, good but somewhat wacky burn and consistent taste throughout. Creamy with slightly sweet taste and no harshness at all. Great as a second cigar at the local B&M on golf day. Excellent value, with a toro costing around 5 greenbacks. I find this cigar and the American Classic Connecticut to be superior to most of the more pricey AB sticks. Seriously wish AB would offer this in a maduro - would be an instant hit if the quality and price point followed the other two American Classic varieties.

I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on make-up. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.



The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store she moans like a cat in heat.



But the jewel in the crown has got to be the fracking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober any time in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big damn dog to work. Every freaking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonald's and Burger King, every single day.




Anyway, I drive these f'-tards around in my van and we solve mysteries and crap. ]]> Jokes SvilleKid http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=62310 Vector pipe/cigar lighter? http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=62309&goto=newpost Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:13:21 GMT Anyone have the combo Vector pipe/slow flame and torch (on top) lighter?

Almost black in color, the pre-light aroma is unique. You've read about sticks that have the aroma of manure...well, this is the one! Nice, fresh essence of barnyard cow paddys. Always heard that the worse a cigar smells, the better the taste...we shall see. OK, cut 'er up and toasted with little issues. Draw and burn proved to be great throughout the smoke, with only one re- light, which was my fault. Taste started very bold, but super smooth with no harshness at all. Taste changed only to become milder as time progressed. No dramatic changes otherwise. This is not nearly as exciting a cigar as the Colorado Casa Magna. Not bad - just not exciting. With over a year of aging, the best thing this stick showed was absolute smoothness with no harshness at all. On the down side, favors were muted. I'd pick the Colorado every time.

After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, 'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, 'Touchdown, tie score.'

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, 'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on for the old man.

He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.

Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally poops in the bed.

I had a terrific smoke given to me by a friend a couple weekends ago at my crawfish boil. It was from a shop in FL called Marcus Daniel. That one was a box-pressed sun grown habano. I'm not great at describing a cigar (nor a wine for that matter) but it was excellent - perfect draw, not too spicy, very aromatic. Wife tried to steal it for herself. Went to order some today but decided on a different one from the series. Anyway, just a datapoint from a new guy. Liked it.

Just got my first order of leaf yesterday,spent a couple happy hours experimenting on sizes and blends.First couple were somewhat ugly,but they started to look better by the 4th or 5th one.

Rolled a few robusto size,then switched to a lancero vitola,then a couple of corona gordas.

The wrappers I got are Conn. broadleaf and "Fronto"{new to me} and they go on smooth and tight. I got Nic ligero and Nic seco for filler,with a small bag of broadleaf for a change of profile. I chose broadleaf for the binder.I got 4 binders and wrappers from each leaf,a surprise to me. The scrap broadleaf had some nice bits too,some good enough for binders.

I got 3 fillers,one binder, and two wrappers to start,just to be sure I had enough,probably will have some wrapper left. Maybe I will use it to practice on yard gars,for a different profile.

I am waiting for them to dry down a bit so I can try them, and watching videos to improve my finishing technique. I am using pigtails now,they seem to be the easiest to do. I left the feet shaggy,I may trim them later.

Enjoy!

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied.

Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help.

A well-dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at the coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.

Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor? "

"No," the woman replied, "I'm with the Internal Revenue Service." ]]> Jokes Blueface http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=62293 Intemperance BAXXI http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=62291&goto=newpost Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:10:09 GMT Got a 5er of these and was impressed so much I got a box.The flavors are rich and deep,the aroma is captivating.The ones I got are 4x 44 or so,with a dark, almost oscuro colored wrapper,very well...
