In honor of our Independence Day (July 4^th for those outside of the U.S) I would smoke something that although not American shares the name, felling and taste of America.

 

Who out there is not a fan of CAO cigars raise your hand… You in the back put your hand down you know your full of shit.

CAO is one of the most respected cigars manufactures they have Style, Charisma and the talent to make even your mother in-laws burnt cooking taste like fillet mingnon.

 

 

The America selection will not disappoint with a 92 rating from the Powers that be. The America has a deep earthy although sometimes heavy taste with notes of cedar and oak and with the twin Connecticut wrapper gives you minute hints of chocolate, but very slight.

Despite the fact that it is not 100% American Tobaccos this selection has all the heart and soul of America, and is one of the creamier and smoothest of the CAO brands.

The construction is good, except sometimes you will have an uneven burn due to the “Barber Pole” wrappers. I have enjoyed a dozen or so of these and I will confirm I have had one unravel a bit and 3 burn uneven and at no point did I cuss it out, this is one of my 3 favorite CAO selections. Rich taste and well worth the time and money.

We give this one a rating of 8 out of 10

Happy 4^th of July America, Happy Monday and Tuesday to the rest of the world and to Canada I say Good day Eh! 

 

 

 

 

 

Blog re-construction on the way

 so first let me say sorry for the absence of new stuff on here, the site was giving trouble as well as other issues that I had going on.
 In the next week expect to see some new stuff posted and I shall endevor to stay up to day on a weekly basis, more as time permits. Despite what this site would have you believe it does not make it easy to post from mobile devices and the layout with the hashtags can hinder a blogger for sure.
 I do have a sister site to this under the same title on tumblr that is easier to operate as well a it is updated weekly. I will attempt to link the 2 blogs getting new material to them both at the same time.
 Feel like see my other site here is the link

 See you in a few cigars.

A Cigar Tour of New England

As I write this it is fall in New England which means that the cigar events are far and few between and that evil winter is on its way. It also means that cigar smoking starts to dwindle to an occasional thing for most even myself; however I thought we would finish off the year doing a winter cigar tour.
The thought thus far is to get a couple friends or an entire group and invade a cigar store that allows you to smoke in the store and sample it meet new cigar friendly folk and maybe give it a review. We will also try a few of the Cigar lounges in Maine and New Hampshire and enjoy the atmosphere of being indoors in the fall and winter season. I will look, but due to state laws on smoking it is difficult to find places in my state of Massachusetts but I will endeavor to seek out and explore the area for one, I will boldly go where ever cigar goers go.
So stay tuned for The Dead Ringers Cigar Club New England Winter Tour. I will post on here in advance where I or we will be heading and if anyone would like to join myself or anyone I can drag with me for a cigar you would be more than welcome, when it comes to cigars the more the merrier.
See you on Tour

Enjoy
