Welcome

I have been off work for almost a week now and the boredom has set in.  I have been smoking quite a few cigars this holiday season.  I have had the idea for this blog for some time now and this short hiatus from work as well as my increase in smoking has allowed me to make it happen. 
So Here is my first Review...

The Nestor Reserve Box Pressed Maduro Torpedo.

I love this Cigar.  The box pressed-ness was a little weird to get used to at first, but as you smoke, it conforms to the regular round shape a cigar should be.  I am a big fan of maduro cigars and so far, this might be the king.  It has a bitter wrapper with a creamy, leathery, cologne-y taste, like a cup of black coffee after Christmas dinner.



The Gurkha Empire V

Yuck.  Being a fan of most Gurkha cigars, that is almost hard to say. This cigar came in the empire series of six cigars, all with different wrappers and flavors.  I am not a fan of most Connecticut wrapped cigars, so I had low expectations going in.  This cigar had little to no flavor, except a mild natural tobacco taste.  If you are a fan of milder smokes, this may be the one for you. Disappointed.




The Perdomo Inmenso

I received these fine cigars as a gift from a co-worker.  I kind of wrote them off as a novelty.  They have a massive 60 ring gauge and are 7" inches long.  They look like a cartoon characters choice smoke and equally ridiculous in your mouth.  So after a few choice beverages at the Christmas party, I lit one of these fat boys up and was I surprised!  It was mild to medium bodied with a nice corojo wrapper and didn't taste half bad!  As the cigar developed, I was greeted with hints of pepper and a pleasant earthy flavor. The only downfall is that it took damn near two hours to smoke!  Buy a box, call up the boys, get out the cards, and enjoy the hell out of this monster!
