White meat or Dark meat? what goes well with your Turkey

  Its Thanksgiving here in the U.S. which brings up the question white meat or Dark meat, what do you like better and what cigar would go well with Turkey?

 That question is easy; the answer is ANY cigar you like. However I do have a couple of suggestions for you Turkey feasters. Most of us have mashed potatoes, carrots, Squash and Turnip among other vegetables with your Thanksgiving Turkey, so although Turkey is not a heavy meal all of it together is enough for you to want a nap afterward, so I suggest a light airy cigar like a Baccarat or a Macanudo, But for me he cigar I will be having either a CAO Italia or a Puros Indious.

 These are cool light smoking cigars that don’t take a lot of effort on the draw and are unassuming in flavors and strengths so not to compete with the meal you have eaten. Once again here would be out choices for you’re after your holiday meal of Turkey.

CAO – Italia

Baccarat

Puros Indious – Reserva Maxima ‘03

Macanudo – Robust

Rocky Patel – Connecticut

5 Vegas - Gold

Arturo Fuente – Hemingway

Bahia - Trinidad

                                                            Happy Thanksgiving

Cigar Ash Looks at the Puros Indios Reserva’ Maxima ‘03

Puros Indios Reserva’ Maxima ‘03

What can I say about this brand besides, it is one of the most consistent brands I have had the pleasure of smoking. It may not me the highest on the Cigar Brand totem pole, but it is far from the bottom.

 The brand does have one blemish on their reputation with their Puros Indious Vejeo, but that is a review for another time.

 So here is the skinny on these sticks. This Blend of Puros Indios is the brain child of Rolando Reyes Jr. and his 70 years of experience. This specially aged puros is called “Anejado 2003” and has a blending of Brazilian, Nicaragua and Dominican longleaf tobaccos’ with a Ecuador wrapper that is just a great tasting smoke. 

 Five years the cigars aged in boxes and I have to say that I would buy these often and keep them in stock. They are inexpensive at $29.95 for the Rothschild, $34.95 for the Toro and $39.95 for the Churchill.

 The Maxima ’03 has good construction with very minute if any blemishes and veins in the leaf. There is an earthy and light woody taste to it and so far after smoking 5 to 8 of them at this point I have not had one canoe or unravel. The Head of the cigar is nice and tight as well, I have used a Cigar punch and a V-notch on the cigar and the head of it has stated pretty much in tacked and had a nice smooth draw to it throughout the whole smoke. This cigar gives you a light aroma with a solid light grey ash not flaky at all.

 I would give this cigar a rating of 6 ½ out of 10 for Price, Taste and Quality. This is a perfect everyday cigar choice.

See you next time
