Tue, 24 July 2007 Just check out what Mr. Rich Perelman has to say about Felipe Gregorio Power Cigar : "If you�re expecting an overpowering smoke that sets your palette on fire, forget it! The Felipe Power is full-bodied and comes in a series of large ring gauges, the smallest of which is 50. But it offers a light, even flavor with a slight lean toward caramel that provides an intriguing contrast with its presence in the mouth. Theres an unusual sweetness to this blend thats unusual and satisfying, due directly to the unique Pelo de Oro "Golden Hair" wrapper of ancestral Cuban seeds grown at the Tabacos de Cordillera in San Jose, Costa Rica. Wynne is the first manufacturer to create new blends with this leaf, but he won�t be the last. The smoothness of the flavor and consistency of the smoking experience are also remarkable. This is a mellow cigar that will be much better enjoyed indoors than outside so that the delicacy of the taste can be appreciated. There are plenty of sizes in the line, ranging from $10 to $15 before local tobacco taxes and packed in boxes of 26." I really dont know what I was smoking...It was supposed to be the Power cigar but it didnt even compare to what Rich Perelman was smoking!!! What I had was bitter and nasty spitting out black tar and that was after aging in my humidor for 3 months. Comments[0] |
Mon, 16 July 2007 5 Vegas Limitada 2006 is a fine example of attention to the detail of
cigar blending and construction. The wrapper is a sun-grown Ecuadorian
Sumatra leaf cultivated in 2000 boasting an attractive, medium-brown -
almost reddish - hue. The filler blend is complex, sporting well-aged
tobaccos from Brazil and Nicaragua, plus Dominican-grown Piloto Cubano
long-fillers, then bound with a Cuban-seed binder. Each of these
tobaccos has been aging since 2001. 5 Vegas Limitada burns slow, cool
and true, and the aged recipe delivers an array of soothing flavors -
it’s medium in body, creamy and smooth from foot to nub with slight
hints of pepper. rob@habanasmoke.com In the Cigar Ministry Lounge was: 1. John Coltrane "Blue Train" 2. Jimmy Smith "See See Rider"Comments[0] |
Sat, 7 July 2007 Episode #12 Gurkha Titan mammoth cigar with immaculate construction and very complex characteristics will give you an hour or more of a pleasurable smoke. 6.2 inches X 56 ring.
