A few cigar notes... and a future review

I figured I'd throw out a few cigar reviews this time of recent smokes. It's been a while.

And I do have a big night planned on Sept 14th. As of now, I have reservations for what might be the finest restaurant in Philadelphia that evening, Le Bec Fin. I've been wanting to eat there for some time, and that week is Philly Restaurant Week where you can eat at just about any fine restaurant in Center City for $35 a person. Believe me when I tell you, Le Bec Fin is usually not that inexpensive. I will definitely be writing that one up.

Anyway, here's a few cigars that you should try if you get a chance.

- Te-Amo Honduran Blend World Selection Series

Te-Amo is usually not that great of a brand. They're a Mexican brand, and highly cheap. But this line they have put out got some great reviews in a couple of cigar magazines I read recently. The World Selection Series has a Nicaraguan blend, a Honduran blend, and a Dominican blend. I bought one of each at $3.50 a stick. I've only smoked the Honduran so far. I must say for a company that usually puts out cheap mediocre cigars, these are much more high end for a low price. Good flavor, decent draw, and stayed lit pretty well. I am impressed.

- 5 Vegas Cask Strength

Only smoke this one if you like really full bodied cigars. In fact, I'm not sure if they make them anymore. The one I recently smoked I had in my humidor for about a year. And the place I got them doesn't seem to carry them anymore. Too bad, because I loved it. Maybe the extra aging helped it to smoke better. And if there are any for sale out there, go ahead and grab one.

- Punch Maduro

I'm starting to realize that I like Maduro cigars more and more. I once thought I was a more mild to medium smoker, but now I'm guessing that I'm a full-bodied smoke kind of guy. Make sense since I'm a full-bodied guy I guess. I got a hold of one of these at a Punch tasting event a short time ago at a local cigar shop. I was highly impressed. Punch is another one of those good brands that may not be as good as some of the higher end stuff, but they deliver a high end type of smoke at a more reasonable price. Anytime you can get a great smoke in the $3 to $4 range where others cost over $10, you've got to go for that.

Just thinking of my next idea...

I promise, I'm not done yet.

Just debating what the next post will be.

Stay tuned!
