What did you smoke today (NC) II

[Bruck]

Smoking one of my mistakes right now.

Rolled and bound a good lot of Brohibas today, will wrap them later today or tomorrow. I'll post a pic in the Torcedors subforum when they're done.

One was too narrow to fit in the mold, so I'm smoking it w/o wrapper. It's CT Broadleaf (from KY) and Nicaraguan seco and ligero. Binder is KY Dark Air. Good flave, moderate vitamin N. A little too "fresh," but that's to be expected in the circumstances.

Actually it's a double mistake, as I lit the wrong end and now the binder is unraveling

While I'm looking at the injured "knee", I'm wondering if what I first thought was a mask, might be a filter for flatulence.

Know better, but cain't let thet stop me, tried picturing what the poor girl in the photo might look like in a full length picture.
With two limbs with knees on the upper body she would be forced to walk upside down and backwards if she was to be able to see in the direction she was moving.

On the other hand if the one arm and one leg on the upper body,to keep it symmetrical were matched with the same,and on opposing sides, moving about would mean something worse than a crablike way of travel,even if all four limbs were of equal lenghts.

This led me to conclude that the person who provided that "precis/..... caption"
may well have originaly been from one of those countries when every other week someone is born with a tail growing from their chest and is regarded as a god.

I quit reading, or rather trying to read, one of our local newspapers when a story of a visiting head of state was pictured being greeted by dignitaries upon arrival at an airport.
The picture used,about a 5x7 inch photo, showed an attractive girl in a bikini on a beach,this ran in all editions of that newspaper that day.

George do you think there might be any chance that the estemed Dr.Hue Ming might be persuaded to provide some insight as to the true nature of the girl's "Knee' injury?

Now to justify inclusion in this thread, you will have to smoke something while constructing a reply. A slow burning Churchill sized cigar,or perhaps a pipe or two is advised.Along with something to drink of course.
I'm off to smoke and drink whilst pondering once again the plight of this injured child wearing the mask to protect herself from the second hand smoke of those reading the story.

AJF Witchdoktor, exclusive to JR Cigars. More "meh" than watching a juggler at the mall.

Sounds as if they put more thought into the band than the cigar it wraps.

It's getting better, but still missing something. The band is snazzy though.

Tim these old smokes from Pepin Garcia do have a certain subliminal effect. You did mention...
"First impression out of the cello was outstanding, with a very smooth wrapper and an extremely firm pack. I also noticed that this was one of those 1 in 100 or so cigars that appeared to be absolutely symmetrical. Normally I don't really look that closely, but sometimes a cigar really catches me eye for being perfectly formed. Kinda like an especially pretty girl, but I guess I do look closely for those."
This however is his secret ( subliminal ) touch, I'm sure you can guess who pointed it out to me.
It's those eyes on the band.
Anyway glad you found it a decent smoke.

Just finished smoking one my Ultra Premium cigars, thanks Cardinal for turning me on to these that due to their high price I might otherwise have missed.
Chillin Moose...5.25x45. Nice cigar, going to be near impossible to find something to match the high quality of the Moose with whatever I smoke next.

Now that's interesting, I didn't know the Grimalkin was a Pepin. Wouldn't have guessed at the start, but that last little bit tasted more Pepin-y to me.

And you can't beat the Moose! Best of the best of the best, sir!

This afternoon I had a 4.7X60 Joya de Nicaragua Antono 1970 Grand Consul cigar. This cigar has only been resting in my 65% rh humidor since 3-8-2016; a little over a month. This cigar had a rounded Torpedo shaped top, beautiful brown wrapper with one very thin vein. After lighting up this cigar I got pepper, leather and coffee. This cigar is very heavy, but the draw and burn were excellent. This cigar was somewhat oily, with explosive flavors and very very full bodied. Even though this cigar is full bodied it was never overpowering and it was extremely smooth. For my taste this cigar went so well with my coffee; I was surprised. I love this cigar now and I wonder how much better it would be with some more age. I topped off this smoke with a large cup of hot coffee and I am one very relaxed man.

I bought ten of those last August I think. Smoked a few, but letting the others nap along with some of the Robusto Grande's. Good dependable cigar....

My first one of these Alex Bradley Mundial figurados. This was listed as 4.25x48, and the burn was good but I didn't care much for the flavor - too dry and woody for my taste.

I had the cello marked 5/14, so this might be one that should have been smoked newer.

I've got to score a box of those! Never heard a bad thing about them, and the price is great. I broke down and bought a few Schizo's and they were great! Not because of the price, but because they WERE a great short filler smoke....
