CigarFest2:Clash of the Stogies - The Event of Smoke

So we are a mere week away from CigarFest2: Clash of the Stogies,

 I don’t mind telling you I was on edge a bit, running your own “HERF” is not easy, you have to have several back up plans in place incase participation is not up where is should, and doing one  that is 100% voluntary is tough, no venders to help you and you have to find yourself a hook. Lucky for me I have a solid cast of characters that all want to participate.

Last year was the first one I organized and it went well with a small group of 8, this year we have 10 men and 4 women so I am interested to see how things go. We will see how this one goes get some feedback and see what we can do to make next years as good as this one.

 The Cigar list for this year reads like a who’s who of cigars, as you can see by the list we have quite the array and variety of choices and every one of them is a new cigar for each of us. This year instead of all the members of the Dead Ringers Cigar Club getting together and picking cigars, we had each member purchase their own to share and with all the members in but one, it looks like a great success, so long as they don’t forget then at home the day of the event. So here is a revamped list of cigars sans one member who is operating on the fly. I will have more soon. Happy Ash to all you “B.O.T.L.” out there.

Cigars of the weekend

This weekend’s we had a few cigars going, Drew Estate Tabak Especial, which is mocha flavored cigar. It’s a robusto size cigar very well constructed and tends to be on the pricey side as is most of the Drew Estate cigars. The cigar had a nice even burn, solid white ash and a very nice blend of flavor and aromatics. A single runs you about 9 bucks and a box varies in price from $125.00 to $140.00 U.S.D. I would give this cigar 8 ½ out of 10 for construction, flavor and ash.

 

The second cigar this weekend was a Fonseca Ariana, Maduro, Toro size, I have made this one my everyday cigar, and it is inexpensive with a price set at between $50 to $60 bucks for a box of 20.  It is well constructed, has a nice woody nut sweet maduro flavor and its construction for a lower end cigar is spot on. This cigar would rate a 5 or 6 out of 10 for me.

The third and final cigar of the weekend was a C.A.O. Brazillia, this cigar is a gift from the Gods of the Leaf. Great taste, excellent construction and the Oscuro is like icing on a cake. It is dark and delicious. If I had a complaint and I do not, it would be that this cigar doesn’t come in a Toro size, but if it did maybe I would get tired of it and I would not enjoy it as much as I do. 7 out of 10 on his one.

 

 

See you all next time

Be Right Back after This Cigar . . .

Well we have been away from this site for quite a while. we had a death in our group and we sort of faded out for a bit, but we will be kick starting this pig of a blog shortly, with highlights of last years Hillbilly attempt at our version of Cigar-Fest.
 I will try and get those up this week, and maybe get a cigar review up as well. Thanks for even stopping by this tiny spot on the web.
