After a long hiatus, I am back! It's about 65 degrees today. Very windy so I ended up in the garage.



I popped the triple cap off of #5 today. This is about a 42x5.5'' cigar with a beautiful light wrapper. The first thing I noticed about this cigar was that it was quite heavy for a corona. This became a bit of an issue.

First Third: This baby was plugged! I cut it a second time and did some of my famous massage technique but it really didn't open up much. It made me remember that I need to get a draw poker! I got my longest needle and did enough work to get some smoke out of it. The smoke I could get was very creamy and sweet. This was what I would call a "velvety" smoke. Heavy smoke, long finish, velvety! There were some floral qualities and I could get the sense that this was well-aged. It's amazing how much a Cuban cigar can change with age. There's nothing else like it.

Second Third: More massaging and more poking. It had a noticable plugged spot about an inch from the cap. I didn't get much of a flavor change. Some very light cedar notes started chiming in. The problem was that it actually became more plugged as I smoked. I was puffing hard to get very little. My massaging eventually broke the wrapper and it became a bit of a slapstick routine to keep it together. The smoke I got was good. Real good.

Last Third: I didn't make it. Sorry about that, Tyr. I think they may have rolled a rock into this one!

I can say that I probably gave up on a wonderful and well-aged cigar. I am shopping for a draw poker right now!
