A relatively short list of smokes this weekend but as you can see from the picture, I had a rather important wood project to work on with my boy. I still managed to find some time to enjoy some premium sticks and I still have all ten of my fingers attached. Those familiar with my history of using power tools will recognize this as being an accomplishment. Needless to say, my boy has a healthy respect for the table saw. Without further ado let’s get onto to the list!
After smoking several Connecticut Shade sticks for my review of the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial CT (New England) Exclusive, I found myself in the mood for something with some strength. Consequently, I took down a Viaje Super Shot 12 Gauge at lunch and again after dinner Friday night with some Dimple Pinch Scotch. These sticks are smoking great. “Box Worthy”
Bill Berris from the Cigar Snapshot podcast recently hit us with a care package. One of the cigars included was a CroMagnon Anthropology from RoMa Craft Tobac. This Grand Corona was well constructed and burned perfectly. Great draw, lots of smoke, and some good dark flavors while never becoming harsh. A solid medium/full in strength, I will be looking to grab a “Fiver” or two of these to enjoy again. Thanks Bill!
After grabbing a handful of the new Cojuno 2012’s in both the Sumatra and Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers, I’ve been itching to try them all week. I forced myself to let them rest a few days and with the arrival of a sunny, warm (relative to location) Sunday afternoon, I pulled the trigger on the Sumatra.
The cigar performed fantastically with a perfect draw and lots of smoke. I am forcing myself to wait on a formal assessment because I want to smoke more than one before doing so. I am also looking forward to smoking the Broadleaf later this week. Keep your eyes open for these as there were only 2012 boxes (book style) of 24 cigars released for this initial shipment. Each box contains twelve of each wrapper. Word is this will be the only shipment until after the IPCPR 2012 Trade show this Summer.
Until next week, keep burning!
