Suck, Suck, and more Suck

Well, it's official-- I finally started this blog. After losing my nine to five last Friday, I decided to finally do something that would keep me from being angry at my former employer, but also delighted to be free to write these blogs.

So who am I? That's easy; I'm the cigar sucker. I'm a sucker for a cigars, who sucks on cigars, and well, I'm new at this, so I probably suck at cigars too.

I admit that I am a cigar novice, and if it weren't for my boy friend Andrew, I wouldn't have gained such an appreciation for the art of the cigar. After months of dating Andrew, and not really being that interested in cigars, I, over time, began to gain progressive affinity for cigars.

Ok, enough about me, let's get started.

Day one:

1) Cuban Rounds "Taste of Havana"
Size: Toro
Cost: $2.50
Purchase Location: Outman's
Wrapper: Natural
Filler Type: Short
Smell: Extremely mild aroma

This cigar was extremely mild, as anticipated. (Quite sad for my first blog! Oh well!) As the cigar smoking progressed, the flavor did intensify, but only mildly. This cigar is extremely easy to draw and has no problem staying lit.

Some of this lack of intensity could have to do with the low humidity level in the humidor (suggestions please, as it refuses to stay above 65).

2) Arturo Fuente, Special Selection, "Curly head"
Size: Lonsdale
Cost: $
Purchase Location: Outman's
Wrapper: Connecticut
Filler: Mixed
Smell: More potent than the Cuban Round

This "curly head" (capped off and pig tail looking end) was a great, fairly short smoke. The Fuente was a mild, gentle smoke, but possessed some interesting flavors. Often times there seemed to be a peppery taste, which created a tingle on the tip of my tongue. This is definitely one to smoke again.
