A chilly Juan no2. Early blast to Bluewater for quiet shopping.

So just out of curiosity did you bin that tubo or do you keep them?

That's an old Romeo tubo I use to carry my daily Cigar. Well the ones that fit anyway!


Watches and Cigars.

I decided to relax with a cigar before my late shift today and fancying something a little different went for a Rocky Patel Java Maduro Toro. It's quite unusual smoking one so boxed pressed as your mouth is expecting a round stick and this is very square with sharp corners, and the wrapper is almost like suede. It smells like cocoa powder and it was so smooth, a delicious smoke that I was really enjoying when my neighbour knocked on my door and asked if I cold run him up to his son's school. He has his arm in a sling for six weeks following surgery and his son had fallen in the playground and banged his head. What can you say?

Verdict ??

Nicer than last nights. Interesting to try because of its quirkiness. I don't think its what we would class as a cigar. More for the guy that would smoke hamlet. I have tried Hamelt and the Villiger is a lot better than it tho, I will say that much. Still not any depth of flavour though. I have an image of the person that usually smokes them goes through a pack a day and would feel at home maybe having the odd cig.

A spot on summary, my brother in laws smoke at Xmas and weddings sort of thing that suits them, wouldn't waste a good cigar on them they wouldn't appreciate it and definitely wouldn't spend the money themselves

Would he appreciate or buy a decent one himself ?

Found an interesting way of talking about cigars to cheap skates who wouldn't spend the money on decent ones.

Conversation used to go, How much did that set you back? About 8 quid. Bloody hell your nuts spending that on something your just going to burn!

New conversation, How much did that set you back? About the price of a couple of pints. Oh, that's not too bad.

Amazing how our perspective can be altered so easily.
