Por Larranaga 1834 Cabinet Seleccion


I will be reviewing the Por Larranaga Cabinet Seleccion 5 x 54 ring gauge Robusto. The Cabinet Seleccion is a limited addition made by some of the legendary cigar makers like Monticristo, H Upmann, Romeo y Julieta and the one I am smoking. The wrapper is a Habano 2000 and the binder and filler are Nicaraguan.


Appearance: Lighter shade wrapper with some thick veins running through out. It has a white, gold and black band. The whole series has the same color bands. A simple looking band but I like it, it lets the cigar do the talking not the band. There was a soft spot near the bottom bottom of the stick and no blemish.


I pull out my friends V cutter. That was a mistake it hacked up the cap of the cigar. I do not recommend using a V cutter, a punch or guillotine is a much cleaner cut. Back to the cigar and my Vector tizo blow torch. It has a good draw not a great. My initial reaction is mild to medium smooth taste. I like it, no harshness at all. The stick lasted about an hour and it remained smooth through out. This is a keeper.



Review: Por Larranaga 1834 Cabinet Seleccion is a good mild to med smoke. The price point is in the $5.50 to $6.50 price point. I would recommend picking up all the Cabinet Seleccion, I can not wait to review the rest of the series. I have a friend that only smokes cigars when he comes over and I would have no problem giving him this stick. It will not over p0wer a novice smoker. A nice light beer would go well with this stick. Nothing to strong that would over power the cigar. Like I said you need to pick one of each of Cabinet series. I give it a solid 9.1

Operation Change


Operation change, my ass. Barack picks Sen. Joe Biden, a sen. for thirty plus years. Boy he is really a breath of fresh air and a big change. Barack says Washington broke and we need a change. This is what he offers for change. The Dems say he is not a Washington insider cause he takes the train home every night to Delaware. So you have to live in D C to be a Washington insider? How stupid do the Dems think we are. The real reasons they picked old Joe, Barack is not polling well with white men and to help his military credentials.
Thank you for not picking the Hildabeast and her 18 million votes.Brilliant. Barack campaign is reeling and this pick was a dud. Joe I quote "I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would better off." That is a ringing endorsement Barack Hussein Obama. Another quote has him saying he thinks Barack is not ready to president yet.

Cigar Rights of America



Check out this website. It is time we, cigar smokers come together and fight back against the Cigar Nazi. This websites has some heavy hitters in the industry backing it the likes of Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Camacho, Cusano, Davidoff, Drew estates(Acid), General Cigars(Macanudo,Punch,Hoyo), J C Newman, La Aurora, La Flor Dom., Oliva and Rocky Patel.

If your sick of our right being trampled by the Cigar Nazis here is a chance to stand up together and fight this Communist, liberal, socialist point of view that the government tells you what is good and bad for you. In my America I have the freedom to choose what is good or bad for me NOT the government. That is what this country was founded on FREEDOM. So brother it is time to make a stand together for what we love. The right to smoke a great stick!!!

Romeo y Julieta Aniversario no.2


I will be reviewing the Romeo y Julieta Aniversario No. 2. It is a No. 2 belicoso with a 6 1/8 x 52 ring gauge. RJ has an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, a Connecticut broad leaf binder, with a blend of three binders Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian.

Appearance: It has a dark chocolate wrapper with some veins. It has a black and silver band and is firmly packed with no blemish on the wrapper. It looks like a well constructed cigar.

I pull out my double guillotine cutter and my trustee Vector Tizo blow torch. It has a nice draw But a bit of a harsh after taste. My initial reaction an average smoke. It is a medium to full smoke that the harshness went away the more I smoked. It lasted about an hour and in the last third the harsh after taste was back. I definitely will not be running out to buy a box of these. There are plenty of other smoke I would buy before this one.

Review: Romeo y Julieta Aniversorryo Sorryo says it all. It was just an average smoke with a harsh/ bitter after taste. I am definitely not giving this stick to my close friends. I will be saving this for the Cigar Mooch. You know that guy at your party that sees your humidor and says "I love cigars can I have one". Then u asked him what kind of stick do you smoke mild, medium or full and he replies I do not know I love Switzer sweets or whatever the gas station has. Stick him with this smoke. The price range is $6.00 to $8.00 pending size. All in all I give it a 8.4. I have had RJ sticks and have liked them. this one was disappointing for all the hype.

INTRO

We are two 34 year guys that enjoy cigars, beer, football, pretty much your average blue collar workers. The idea of this blogg was to give a perspective of the average guys review without all the words like it had a nutty/ coca /earthy taste. You know all those dumb ass words that make the reviewer sound like he knows what he is talking about.

I like a medium to full cigar and Isaac likes a mild to medium so we will cover the full smoking pallet, scratch those last three words. We will cover all kinds of fucking cigars. We would love for you to suggest a type of cigar for us to review and then we will give you our opinion on it. You know what they say opinions and like assholes everybody got one and we have of them plenty. So if your are easily offend get a life and get over it.
