Nov 28th 2011 - My Uzi Weighs A Ton

Today brings us the My Uzi Weighs A Ton Toro in a 6x60 vitola. MUWAT is produced by Drew Estate's Subculture Studio with Joya de Nicaragua and is their first joint blend. With Nicaraguan and Brazilian Mata Fina long fillers, a Connecticut Capote binder and a San Andres maduro wrapper the MUWAT makes makes the mouth water upon seeing it. With a earthy core that features a slight sweetness, cinnamon, spice and a leather this cigar is a medium bodied surprise. I chose this to be today's cigar as today is the anniversary of the death of Leslie Nielsen. Leslie Nielsen was in more than 100 movies and was most notably known for his comedic work in Airplane and The Naked Gun trilogy. I loved watching his movies growing up and still love them. Thanks for all the laughs Leslie...

Nov 11th 2011 - Room 101 Connecticut

Today's cigar is the Room 101 Connecticut Robusto in a 5x50 vitola. The Room 101 Connecticut is another of the 2011 releases for Room 101. With a Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a Corojo binder and fillers from the Dominican and Honduras this isn't your average Connecticut. To quote the man behind it all "It's a Connecticut with a kick". With flavors of pepper, earth and a creamy sweetness that brings you the best of Connecticut wrappers without slacking on the flavor and body. I chose this to be today's cigar to stick with the same theme as yesterday. Today is Veterans Day. Matt Booth, the man behind Room 101, is a Veteran of the Marine Corps. I saw no better stick to celebrate today with than one made by a Veteran. Take a moment out of your day today to thank a veteran and any active or reserve service member for their service. If it wasn't for the sacrifices of them America wouldn't be what it is today. Also take a min to show your thanks for those who aren't here to celebrate Veterans Day with us, the ones who have passed on and the ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans and service members out there! Thank you for your service!

Nov 6th 2011 - Arturo Fuente Anejo

Today's cigar is the Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva Extra No. 55 in a 6x55 vitola. The Fuente family is known for putting out only the highest quality of cigars. Hailing from the Dominican Republic with all it's fillers coming from there the Anejo features a 5-year-old Connecticut maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel. This cigar features a woody sweet core with hints of earth and spice on the finish. I chose this to be today's cigar because a good buddy of mine smoked one yesterday to celebrate some good things going on. He hasn't had a lot of those lately and wanted to celebrate the upswing for him by dedicating the blog to him. You know who you are brother and you'll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers...

Nov 5th 2011 - Gurkha Royal Challenge

Today’s cigar is the Gurkha Royal Challenge Robusto in a 5x55 vitola. The Royal Challenge is a new release from Gurkha this year. The Royal Challenge has fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic with a Honduran Habano binder and a Connecticut shade wrapper. I can honestly say this has to be one of the most beautiful bands I’ve ever seen on a cigar. With flavors of pepper and cedar wood that help enhance the creamy buttery tones that are the core of this cigar. I chose this to be today’s cigar as it was on this day in remembrance of the victims of the shooting at Ft Hood on this day in 2009. On that day 13 were killed and 30 others injured in a senseless tragedy. I challenge us all to not forget them and their families that were left behind.

Nov 4th 2011 - Tatuaje La Casita Criolla

Today's cigar is the Tatuaje La Casita Criolla HCB Corona in a 5 1/8x42 vitola. The La Casita Criolla hails from Nicaragua with all it's tobaccos being Connecticut Broadleaf. This Maduro is a 100% American Puro. The La Casita Criolla is a great medium bodied experience with flavors of spice, cinnamon, and a chocolate sweetness that is all held together by a nutty core. This cigar is about as flavorful as they come. The term La Casita Criolla means The Little Native House in Spanish. I chose this to be today's cigar as I'm getting ready to head back to my "native house" and visit my family in a few weeks.
