Default Ride home ruined!!!

On Thursdays I go back to where I used to live and do some work for the school system there. It is about a two hour ride and I usually take a nice stick or two for the ride home.

This morning I was going to grab a Monte 2 and decided to grab an NC instead. I kind of randomly grabbed a Victor Sinclair Double Maduro Legacy. Since I wasn't too familiar with them I decided to grab a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet as well just in case the VS sucked.

It was a hectic day at work so I get in the truck really anticipating a smoke. As soon as I took a draw in the clipped VS I knew it was in trouble. I have heard of guys saying a draw was so loose that it was sucking through a straw, but had never experienced it myself until today. I lit it and gave it a chance... no smoke and tasted like crap. Pitched it out the window!!

Thinking I was so smart to grab a second stick, I pull out the Sol Cubano. I clip it and take a draw. Freakin' thing was plugged like you wouldn't believe!! Now I am pissed!! I give it a try anyway and light it up. The flavor wasn't bad, but my cheeks are caving in when I draw. I pull out the trusty draw tool and give it a couple of pokes. It helps a little. I get about an inch in and it is closed up again. I give it the draw tool again and the head pops open in about an inch long split. It now gets the old heave ho!!!

I had to make due with some snus for the last hour and a half. If I had a dog I might have beaten it when I got home. That Monte that had it's life saved this morning by my miscalculation will not make it through the night.

Rant off...

You have got to love a ride like that. Nothing can make a drive seem longer than having your primary and your back up turn around and slap you in your face. Sorry to hear Gator. Hope the Monte makes up for it

VS = dog beatings? Hmmm... I just consider them dog rockets.

I am suprised by the SC though, haven't had that happen before.

That sucks Brent. Just remember that the new ABC liquor up here has a decent walk in if you find yourself in the same situation again. I'm sure you won't, but just the same.

Island Tobacco is now a bar, and they stopped carrying cigars, so our local options are limited.
