Greetings!

  

Happy New Year to you.  I hope your Holiday Season was spent with those close to you and of course, with some fine Cuban cigars.

 

Right in the middle of our holiday, the wife and I were both hit with a wicked flu.  Had to cancel a visit with family, Xmas day was a blur of kleenex and cold medication instead of champagne and OJ accompanied with  a nice Cuban cigar.  We did make Christmas dinner as is tradition, then had a good laugh when we both realized we could not taste the food at all.

 

Missed out on so much over just a few days, but will make up for it in the weekends to come.  Prime rib dinners, Italian weekend with a Godfather movie marathon and whatever else we can think up.

 

Have a great New Year and keep your humidor full for your special weekend plans!

 

Now that the hectic part is over, I can settle in for my longing for spring time to begin. My favorite time of year is Spring, but being so far North we wait longer than most for it to arrive. Still, the wait begins...

 

We are always glad to be of service

CA Magazine
TOP #1 CIGAR FOR 2013
  
Montecristo No 2 torpedo
  
I have always felt it must be tough to continue to rate Cuban cigars with the highest of ratings issue after issue when CA Magazine receives zero revenue from advertising from the genuine Cuban brands.  The fact they are blind tastings means the Cubans shine through no matter what the politics of the situation.
  
That cannot be said for their selection of the Top 25 Cigars of the year, as there is nothing blind in this selection.  To say sponsorship and advertising revenue does not play a factor would be naive. Not showing high placement for non-cuban cigar makers would spell ruin and perhaps rightly so. I am the first to understand their position, as business is business and after all Cubans are the most copied cigars for good reason.  There are non-cuba versions of so many of the genuine Cuban brands these days.  Biting the hand that feeds them in such a specialty magazine would make little fiscal sense to me.
  
This makes it all the more amazing that a Cuban vitola can make its way to the No 1 spot on such a list.  That takes courage, candor and honesty.  Leaving no 2 to 25 to compete in the non-cuban realm seems reasonable all things considered, so I commend them for such a lofty award going to a line that offers only the finest of cigar experiences and no ad revenue whatsoever for their fine magazine.
  

 
The Montecristo No 2 is a stellar smoking experience indeed.  Traditional fermentation flavors such as cocoa, leather, coffee bean and the aroma of damp tree bark make up a smooth rounded finish that is the flagship flavor for Cuban cigars and very often the Monte No 2 is the Cuban we use to compare all other Cuban cigars.  I consider it a true medium strength 5/10 with a clean finish and burning aroma that appeals to even the most ardent non cigar lover.

 

Montecristo is the best known and probably the most appreciated brand of Habanos throughout the world. The name comes from the hero of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel "The Count of Montecristo", which was a firm favorite amongst the Torcedores (Cigar Makers) at the factory in Havana where it was founded in 1935.

  

Montecristo's perfectly balanced blend is created exclusively with selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region, home of the finest tobaccos in the world.

CIGAR REVIEWS

cuban cigar journal  

 Cuban Cigar Review  

 

 Cohiba
Limited Edition 1966 2011
  6 1/2 x 52 
Robusto Extra

 

 This amazing Limited Edition has progressively scored higher in tastings as it ages. 

 

 This is a strong side cigar for the seasoned Cuban cigar lover.  Flavors range from strong espresso to dark roast, almost burnt coffee.  Notes of burnished leather and black pepper round out a wonderful blending of flavors that match really well as the cigar progresses.

 

Compared to when it was first released, this stogie has blossomed into on of the finer LE's of the past few years.

 

Mind you, the Cohiba LEs are few and far between and have always aged very well.  Who can forget the Sublime after all...

 

Don't expect supplies to last much longer as word spreads about how well this vitola has aged since 2011.  Mark my words, it will be out of stock soon, so don't miss out!

 

My rating on this vitola is a 94/100   DF
  
CA Magazine rating for this cigar is a 95 on Jan of 2013
 Just joking...
Your Chuckle for today 

 A woman finds Aladdin's magic lamp. She starts rubbing it and a Genie comes out as usual. The woman looks at the Genie and asks him to grant her wishes: I want my husband to have eyes only for me; I want to be the only one in his life; I want him to sleep always by my side; I want that when he gets up in the morning I'm the first thing he grabs and takes me everywhere he goes. So the Genie turned her into an iPhone...!!

 Late holiday joke, but worth it...

 

John received a parrot as an early Christmas gift. The parrot had a really bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

 

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

 

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and shoved him into the freezer.

 

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly.... there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

 

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour".

 

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

 

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird continued... "May one inquire as to what the turkey did?'

A drunken man walks into a biker bar, sits down at the bar and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees three men sitting at a corner table. He gets up, staggers to the table, leans over, looks the biggest, meanest, biker in the face and says:

"I went by your grandma's house today and I saw her in the hallway buck-naked. Man, she is one fine looking woman!"

The biker looks at him and doesn't say a word. His buddies are confused, because he is one bad biker and would fight at the drop of a hat.

The drunk leans on the table again and says: "I got it on with your grandma and she is good, the best I ever had!"

The biker's buddies are starting to get really mad but the biker still says nothing.

Then the drunk leans on the table one more time and says "I'll tell you something else, boy, your grandma loved it!"

At this point the biker stands up, takes the drunk by the shoulders looks him square in the eyes and says... "Grandpa... you're drunk...   GO HOME!!"
