Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

Alec Bradley 90+ Rated second. I like these. Smoke better than some much more expensive cigars.

Edit: this is a 52 ring robusto. The only AB 52 ring robusto I could find is the Black Market

I knew it would be hard to get a W in Cameron bad calls early too. We need a lil time to get use to playing with the new point we'll be fine. That kid Parker for Duke is a animal tho jeez!!

Yeah, some of those calls were iffy at best. I'm just joking too, as I root for any Big 10 team as long as they aren't playing OSU. Parker is a beast. I definitely think MSU is by far the best team in the country though.

Yup Go Green.

My wife is at work, our babysitter has the kids out all day so I have the house to myself. It's 50 degree outside here in Chicago and cloudy, so I decided it was a good time to step onto the back porch and try one of the sticks I got in a recent sampler.

It's the 5 Vegas Gold:

Not to give a huge review but in a nutshell, it was fine. I prefer Maduro wrappers and, of course, this has a Connecticut wrapper, so it isn't a stick I would have intentionally bought. The first third was a bit harsh for my liking but the second third was really enjoyable. I probably won't go buy any more of these but I wouldn't refuse one if someone offered it.

But, frankly, that's all irrelevant; I had the rare chance to spend an hour enjoying a cigar outside on a "warm" December day in peace and quiet so, from that perspective, it was a great smoke. Life is good.

I'm debating on loading up on some of these and other Vegas varieties to supply for a weeklong bachelor party camp out that I'm being out in charge of most of the sticks for. I've got a good idea for what to bring for the nicer stuff, but with twenty guys and many not being experienced (backwoods would work for some) I figure I will load up on a few boxes of these, some other decent but not great stuff and have it handled.

I've had a few, and they're not bad for the cost (actually decent for the price) but being a once a week smoker, I don't need a cheapy to rely on.

Everyone seems to like the Oliva O and G and Connecticut's from my experience maybe try those.

Yeah, I've had plenty of Oliva Gs
