Job Site Sticks.

04-22-2009, 07:55 PM

I bought a new camera phone with some pretty decent quality, and since I recently took a job with a previous employer that offers me alot of outdoor time...

I thought it would be cool to post pics and mini reviews of my daily smokes with a little added "whats going on around me" shots.

!!! Thread Warning !!!
Any review by me is purely from a cigar speek newbie. The only thing I truely know about cigars is wether or not I like them. I am always trying out new smokes, as well as smoking many of the ones I already enjoy.

The first cigar I will offer up is one that I smoke ALOT. La Fontana It is a mild cigar with a sweet gum head, so the first 30 mins or so is pretty sweet. Not a java sweet, but a perfect morning mild cigar. This was smoked day before yesterday.

It was a rainy day so alot of this thing was smoked inside my truck.

Great pics! Thanks for the review!

That is the job I want to have. Sit in the dry truck and smoke a cigar while watching the other guys work in the rain.

Are you looking for an assistant?

Thanks for the review and pics.

This is a very cool idea. I might have to borrow it from you someday.

Yesterdays smoke...

AF Anejo. You can never go wrong with an AF. Very nice smooth medium/full flavor stick. I call these the Opus in a maduro wrapper. Anejos are my faveorite AF.

Job site mini herf.

It does not get much better than this.

Ash is hard to come by while walking.

Thanks. I will give you a hint as to what is being built...look at the third picture from the top. The reflection of one of my plans is on the window.

I work for an engineering company that was contracted to do all of consulting, inspections, and materials testing.

Will post more pics shortly.

Yesterday's smoke... Perdomo Reserve "Champagne". Now this cigar really surprised me with alot of flavor...mild to medium, but still kept me wanting more after I nubbed it. My only complaint about it, was the chissel tip did not seem full enough of tobacco. I was worried I would bite it in half if I put too much pressure on it.

Very nice. This is one that kicked me down the slope.... Maybe tomorrow I can find one stashed somewhere here and bring back memories of the beginning of the fall.... I also work out of a truck and smoke between stops. (can't remember an anejo as a truck smoke though.

)

Todays...Punch, Rare Corojo. I had something else in mind for this morning, but after being handed this little cute thing...how could I resist.

I have smoked alot of new cigars (new to me) lately, and like this one...are now on my smoke again list. This bowling ball pin shaped cigar was a full flavor but very smooth. Lit this baby up at around 8:30 am.

Now my after lunch smoke was going to be special. I have never smoked one before, but a couple weekends ago I broke down and bought one. I figured since I was spending too much money on a stick, it might as well buy a tubo as a reminder.

Davidoff, Aniv.#3 I was comparring it to a $4 smoke that I normally smoke alot of...then after reaching the midway point of this stick I really started to love the flavors heating up. This thing put out big smoke , but definitely something I can not justify spending the coin on...I could buy two Anejos for the price of the Doff.

Good to the last nub.
