Soon cigar freaks everywhere will come to this Mecca of a blog.
Yay!
There are worse things to be addicted to than my blog... Like facebook. (as I check my status update...)
I had another Rocky Patel this weekend whilst playing cards with the Dutch and others and it was delicious. Those guys know what they are doing with cigars.
Go buy one and try one.

I smoked that Everyday Joe last night with Lady Winston and God's Gift to Women (GGTW) among others.
That cigar is delicious and at only $3.00 a cigar or less it is very affordable. The wrapper was nice and dark and the burn was pretty even. The wrapper did start unrolling a bit at first but it was so good that I chose to overlook that.
Yum! Go buy one!

Jew Lightning
El Presidente
Mr. President
Number One Fan a.k.a. #1, NOF (You get the picture)
Lady Winston
Blue a.k.a. RedZBTN (if you don't know what this means, read The Hitchhikers Guide Omnibus and then come talk to me)
Flash
BJD (if you don't know what this means, don't worry about it.)
The Gimp
Company
Snicker-snack
My old lady
Dutch a.k.a. Chuckles,
Uncle Tom- Not a nickname (I know you're with me every time I smoke)
So there is the small but ever growing list of people I smoke with. Yay!
When I smoke with enough new people to add more names, I'll post an updated list.
Until then,
Keep em Lit!
Apologies for the length of time between posts however I have excuses! I'll line them up for you right now:
1) I'm a math major. Until last week I was taking both Calculus and Discrete Mathematics during the summer seven week semester. It was rough. Then I dumped Discrete Mathematics because I couldn't deal with all of her problems. Calculus understands me better anyway. But I was doing homework nonstop when I wasn't sleeping or in class (not sleeping in class).
2) I've been LARPing/ preparing to LARP and that took up a lot of my free time when I should have been/could have been writing this blog... but it was WORTH IT!!!!
3) My computer caught a nasty virus and I had to reboot windows onto my computer, causing me to lose a ton of stuff that I stupidly forgot to back up
4) I didn't feel like it.
Onto the blog:
As per usual, I didn't have the camera so I don't have pictures of this great time, but you'll have to take my word for it, it was awesome.
"Who was there?" I thought I heard you ask?
Here is a sweet list of the people there:
The usual suspects:
Kal-EL - All hail the man of steel
Charlie - Duh, her party
James Howlett - "Should I call you Logan, Weapon X?" -Mallrats
The Gimp - she wasn't actually there but she was on the phone and was there in spirit.
The new guys:
My Number One Fan (#1) - Yeah you're in the blog!
El Presidente - Looking relaxed as per usual
Mr. President - That's right, the Trifecta of President's were there
Jew Lightning - His first time around the Cigar Freak at his best
2 Chicks and 2 Dudes - I didn't know you guys but Charlie did so yay for you, but you don't get cool nicknames. The Cigar Freak is flexing his dictator-like will upon the blogs.
Ok! For this auspicious occasion I was excited because I knew what i wanted to smoke. On my last visit to the Cigar and Hookah Cafe I noticed they carried the cigar brand Nub.
Yeah!
Now for those of you who don't know, The gentleman who created Nub was onto something. It is a well accepted notion that the last two smoke-able inches of a cigar are the best-- the Nub, capitalizing on this-- is only about three inches long.
Get it?
It's all the best part baby! Yeah!
The best thing is that I've also heard it smokes like a much longer cigar so one Nub will last you about the same amount of time.
I'm pumped!
So, I go to get a Nub from the humidor with Kal-El and #1 and I was telling them about how much I wanted to smo-- OUT! They're out of them! What? What the! Fuck!
I think at this moment I probably sighed.
Sigh.
Ah well, there's plenty more cigars there for me to peruse.
I settled on The El Baton Classico Robusto which was rated 91 by Cigar Aficionado. It was also pretty cheap. Like $6.00 ish?
Here's what I have to say about it:
The smoke started out good. It ended up GREAT at the end. Yum! I definitely recommend these bad boys. They burn pretty evenly throughout the smoke and ashed about two inches in. The only issue I had with it was the wrapper was coming apart underneath of where the wrapper had been. I kept licking it down but it would dry out pretty quickly and return to being a nuisance. Other than that it was delicious and a great smoke.
So hookahs were smoked, cigars were smoked and it was a delicious time. Before we left I ventured once more into the humidor and found a cigar called Everyday Joe. It was only $3.49. (I haven't smoked it yet.) The guy at the counter (also known as the owner--who is awesome by the way) knew the cigar by sight even though it had no wrapper. He said he loves them and smokes them all of the time. Yes! I love this place.
So yeah, Charlie's been gone for EVER! She's coming back in a few weeks but come on already!
Get back here so we can share another smoke woman!
And #1, you have the bridge. (I've always wanted to say that.)
Keep em Lit!
