I live in South Carolina. Today, it is raining and depressing. I choose not to smoke in the house due to my son, and it doesn't smell nice when you are entertaining. I know, you can get products to eliminate the smell, I am just not that motivated.

Besides not being able to go outside for my morning smoke ( I really need to build a screened in porch!), my selection of stogies is getting dangerously low. I have 5! Fundage is at a state where the procurement of said sticks must be delayed.

Resolved to be in a bad mood, I decided to have a cigar on my hour commute to work today. I never smoke in the car either. But drastic circumstances dictate drastic actions!

For my commute smoke, I chose a cigar that was given to me by 14holestogie. A `98 Punch Corona that I was saving. I figured what the hell.

DAMN what a smoke! This was one of the most flavorful cigars I have ever had. The full amount of smoke, the smoothness of it and the spicey refreshing flavor all combined for an incredible experiance! The only thing missing was a nice Highland Single Malt!

I now know what all the hooplah is about concerning these CCs! So to wrap up this too lengthy post, I just want to convey a most important thought:

Tim: By sending me that particular cigar, you have changed my mood from depressed, to great! You have also indoctrinated me into a darker world and broadened my horizons! I have had other CCs, but this one was truly incredible. The generosity and brother/sisterhood of this community is incredible and I am proud to be a member.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CA!

Wow. Glad you enjoyed it, Riff Raff. Welcome to the dark side. :-)


You thought the fundage was low now? Whooo boy! Just wait. :-)

That is SO true. I used to cringe at $70.00 for a box of Padron Delicias. Now, that's my three pack add-ons........



Still hurts......

I've found that going to the dark side is actually cheaper. Smoke for smoke, CCs cost less than comparable premium NC cigars. which is why I only buy non-Cuban singles. When it comes to box purchases, Cubans can't be beat! The reason people call it "the dark side" is because Cubans are about 100 times more addictive, and I don't mean the nicotine. They taste goooooooood :-)
