CAO – Brazilia

Filed under CAO, Cigars

UnderTheGun here again with another review. I love cigars and hope that any readers of this blog take my reviews with that grain of truth I try to put to them.

The CAO Brazilia is truly a cigar that I like to treat myself to when I get bored of the rest of my collection. For a full flavored cigar this one smokes quite smooth. This cigar is very mellow but still has a strength that will impress you each time you smoke one.

I wouldn’t recommend this cigar often, unless you’re a full flavored heavy smoker, but I would recommend it as a treat.

For a good time…

If you ever need to unwind, and I mean really unwind, try the following recipe.

Cigar
Onyx Reserve or Romeo y Julieta Bully

Drink – Single malt
Oban Scotch 14 Yr.

And the rest is up to you. A good steak dinner, have some friends over to enjoy these with you, or sit home alone and ponder your thoughts.

I know the worries and troubles that can come down on someone and this is a recipe that always helps me relax.

I plan to write more of these throughout the years, so stay tuned and feel free to post your own relaxation methods.

Romeo y Julieta – Bully

Filed under Cigars, Romeo y Julieta

As always Romeo y Julieta cigars are top shelf material. The Bully is one of my favorite stogies by this legendary company. They’re strong, they burn slow, and have a taste that did knock my socks off. Of course I was wearing house slippers at the time ;)

All in all this cigar is NOT for beginners but it is a cigar I would recommend for someone to make the transistion from beginner to an intermediate smoker.

Vegafina – Hecho A Mano

Filed under Cigars, Vegafina

Normally I wouldn’t find myself trying this cigar. I try to stick to the more well-known brands or at least well-known to me. I found myself strapped for cash, as usually around the first of the month, and craving a quality cigar. When I’m in this situation I don’t go for the Black N Milds or anything like that, I try to find the dollar cigars. Sounds lame I know.

Well I picked up a 6 pack special at my hometown cigar shop that was mixed with all kinds of cigars… I thought this was too good to be true. They’re all brands that I’m unfamiliar with but I decided to be adventurous for once with my cigar endeavors. The first one that I’ve smoked, the Vegafina, really has surprised me.

It isn’t extraordinary nor will it knock your shoes off. It’s just a good, easy going, cigar. This stogie has lasted me well over an hour so far and is barely half way through. It’s burning very evenly, and has that great aroma that I love about most cigars. The taste is very simply and pleasant. What a find!

I’m so glad I decided on the special pack instead of getting only a few of my favorite cigars. I can only imagine the normal price for these beauties normally. I’m sure it can’t be much.

This is, in my opinion, the definition of a beginner cigar but it’s perfect for anyone who just wants to sit back, relax, and watch the game.
