Sometimes a Cigar is...

Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Well its this Officer's adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk. Beware: general ramblings about Aeronefs. Dirigibles. Land Ironclads. Anarchists. Dinosaur Hunting. Terranefs. Aquanefs. Mad Scientists and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make a great deal sense but there will be large quantities of claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!" I have some Nautilus plans coming in the mail but I'm not one to let that stop me from art. Here is the initial draft of the main deck of our submarine.

You probably aren't deliberately altruistic but you still tend to do things that benefit everyone even at great expense to your health and personal relationships. You aren't ruled by your emotions but you still have a strong sense of justice. You make good descisions but they can sometimes backfire (and this isn't due to a flaw in your reasoning but due to faulty premises instead). You are very reasonable you understand systems you can quickly pinpoint flaws and you know how to correct them. You pride understanding and knowledge above everything else and your greatest fear is to appear to be incompetent. You tend to be contemptuous of authority but you don't accept leadership roles yourself until everyone else has demonstrated their own incompetence. You've built a very specific skill set. You know exactly where your strengths and weaknesses are and you pride yourself on this kind of self-knowledge. You distrust tradition which you see as arbitrary and you rely instead on your own judgements. You also pride yourself on your pragmatism. You're also a very private person. Most of all people think you're arrogant but screw them! They're the ones who benefit from your ideas and discoveries and if they took the time to understand why it is that you say and think the things you do they'd realize that you only appear arrogant because you are exactingly precise when it comes to your area of specification and most of all because when you don't know something you don't have an opinion about it (unlike most of the loudmouths that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis). Relationships are your kryptonite. It isn't that you don't want them -- in fact you would very much like a very close relationship with someone who understands you. They're just the one thing in the world that you're naturally bad at. Famous people like you: Niels Bohr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. Werner Heisenberg. Issac Newton. John Maynard Keynes.

Sometimes a Cigar is...

Tatuaje Reserva ?A? Uno 9.25?x 47

Country: USAWrapper: Nicaraguan CorojoFiller: NicaraguanSize: “A” 9.25″x 47 go Well I decided to smoke another giant Tatuaje. I declare to smoke and review a cigar that isn’t a Tatuaje soon. I know I have been kind of a one cozen pony lately with all these Tatuaje posts. I guess it is bordering on an unhealthy obsession. To go up the RC233 I went with the slightly longer but much slimmer Reserva “A” Uno. This desire but slim cigar looked like it was going to take a long time to smoke and it did. Thankfully not nearly as desire as a Tatuaje RC233 that I smoked recently. This one was about an hour and a half consume. It’s a good looking cigar. A little bumpy and rustic looking but still a very good looking stick. I was a little careless pulling this from the humidor and to my horror I dropped the cigar. My heart sank as I picked it up and saw a end in the wrapper. But thankfully it turned out to be a fairly minor blemish and it had zero effect on how the cigar smoked. You can kind of see the damage peeking out from the underside of the cigar in the picture. It sports a triple cap like all of Pepins smokes and the head clipped nicely with my trusty Palio. The prelight draw was ameliorate and it gave an impression that I was about to smoke a powerful cigar. come up it was more of a medium bodied smoke. It lit nicely and the first 2 inches were dominated by that trademark Pepper that almost all of Pepin’s cigars seem to have. It is amazing the different flavor profiles he can act using just Nicaraguan tobacco and still he some home manges to have them all start out with that trade mark pepper. Once I got past the first two inches the cigar mellowed out considerably. It was a velvety change surface smoke. It was dominated with a creamy woody flavor with a brush aside hint of sweetness at times. As the smoke progressed I detected some caramel notes and some flashes of cedar. It picked up a little towards the end as it got a little peppery combined with a toasted tobacco flavor. Overall and very good and complex smoke. The burn was immaculate and the ash held firm but it was a little papery on the edges. A good consume but not as robust as most of the Tatuaje line. Also a little pricey and a big commitment measure wise. I enjoyed it and was glad I tried it but I won’t be reaching for this very often if at all. Mainly because of the size and also because some of the other vitolas in this lie are bit fuller and are better smokes in my opinion. So I think the verdict on Giant Tatuajes is that they are good but not as stellar as some of the other vitolas. I only posted a analyse on the Regio and RC184 so far but I would evaluate the Regio. RC184. Noella. Tanios and the Havana Cazadores better than these giant vitolas. Of course I reviewed the as well which if I had to pick a favorite the Reserva SW would be it. Be sure to try the “A” Uno at least once though. It’s worth it. Want to try a Tatuaje? Check out my contest by and you might win yourself 3 stellar Tatuaje cigars. <a href="" call=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym call=""> <blockquote have in mind=""> <cite> <label> <del datetime=""> <q have in mind=""> <strike>

Stogie Reviews: El Tiante Maduro Torpedo

Tiant’s cigars are all made at the Tabacalera Tambor cigar factory in Nicaragua. The El Tiante Maduro line features Habano Nicaragua and San Andreas Mexican filler with a Mexican Sumatran binder and a Habano Nicaragua wrapper. (The natural line features the same Habano Nicaragua tobacco in the filler and wrapper but instead uses an Indonesian binder and drops the San Andreas tobacco from the amalgamate.) The lie features three sizes: a five inch by 50 go gauge robusto a seven inch by 50 go calculate Churchill and a six advance by 54 ring calculate torpedo which is the subject of this review. The red and gold band features Tiant in his number Red Sox uniform just about to displace from his famously contorted pitching motion. Wrapped in the shiny gold bind the cigar’s fairly oily maduro wrapper is attractive with only a few small veins. To the touch the classically proportioned torpedo is tighten and not at all spongy. After clipping the end. I took a draw before lighting up and found floral and grass flavors. In my mouth the wrapper imparted plum flavors and it was salty. Once lit. I found a subtle mix of multiple tastes including apricot and plum fruit hit and classic maduro sweetness. The draw is discuss but not forced and the cigar produces ample amounts of lighten aromatic consume. In our converse Luis told me he “wanted my cigars to be mild and smooth with lots of flavor.” Usually I find such claims to be overstated but I must say this truly was the rare milder cigar that had a rich complex flavor. Although I wouldn’t strictly categorise this cigar as “mild” - rather more mild- to medium-bodied. In addition to the “mild but flavorful” tastes the cigar had an unimposing cedary finish that lingered only for a few seconds. Construction wise the destroy was fairly even and while I would have liked the ash to hold a bit longer it wasn’t a big distraction while smoking. Overall. I open myself really enjoying these cigars probably because of how many cigars I’ve smoked that claimed to be “mild but with lots of flavor” but failed to live up to the billing. Retailing for around $7 each this cigar isn’t exactly a bargain but it certainly doesn’t seem desire too much to pay for the unique taste - something far too rare in today’s cigar industry in my opinion. For bucking the trend towards ever stronger cigars without dulling drink the flavor the El Tiante Maduro Torpedo earns an impressive rating of.

It has given me wish for the possibilities of American grown wrapper leaves from places outside the Connecticut River Valley.

Welcome Guest Blogger Renee Russell!

Are you a published author in any genre? Would you like to guest blog on Cigars? Email samhunter@samanthahunter com to lay a date ( Currently we are not scheduling any new guest spots until Jan 2008 -- but act us in mind! Hi everyone! I’m excited to be blogging here at Exploding Cigars. My debut novel Kate’s experience was released earlier this year. It’s a historical women’s fiction that deals with how we handle the breakdown of the life we’ve known. I’m going to address the topic of the catch phrase here: Love is an exploding cigar we willingly consume. And don’t we just. Not just as a woman to a man we wish to create a life with but also our family and friends. We put ourselves out there furnish our heart and wish magical things ordain come about. But sometimes they don’t. Kate gives her love to a man who walks out as soon as he finds out she’s pregnant with his child. Talk about an exploding cigar! In Kate’s world it’s 1867 and she’s broken a big taboo. But she has her family…alter? Home is where they have to take us in. Right? I believe everyone counts on their family to be there for them in bad times. I mean the whole world can go to hell in a hand basket but we’ve still got that locate to rest on. And that’s true in so many circumstances. But how would be we deal with the go out if that locate shattered? When we have no one but ourselves to lean on? Do we dig deep and rest tall or do we fall apart? I’d like to believe I’d be one of those who stands tall but none of us really know how we’d react in those circumstances. With Kate. I wrote a story about a strong woman who builds a new life for herself out of the ashes of betrayal. Betrayal by the man she loved betrayal by her family and betrayal of the community in which she grew up. The story of Kate is loosely based on the life of one of my own great great grandmothers. I had a expose handful of factual information about her and no idea of what her life was actually desire. I took those facts made some extrapolations based on them and created a story I hope will comprehend many hearts. Just a reminder for those of you posting if you want to qualify for contests you undergo to register on the site -- if your name shows up on a post as "not verified" you aren't registered and it's easy so go do! :) Renee that sounds like a really powerful furnish -- undergo you construe Maxine Hong Kingston's Woman Warrior? It's an autobiography that has some similar issues and a wonderful book. I have some undergo with life disintegrating and reforming under my feet we probably all do but I've been fortunate enough to undergo populate who were there for me so it's hard for me to create by mental act how someone gets by without that. Still. I suppose in Kate's displace she has her baby and though unborn that would furnish her something to clutch onto -- she's not really alone though she's the one who has to get herself through. In her lay. I speculate that's how I'd think.. it's not just about me it's about the baby too.

Welcome Guest Blogger Renee Russell!

Are you a published author in any genre? Would you like to guest communicate on Cigars? Email samhunter@samanthahunter com to arrange a go out ( Currently we are not scheduling any new guest spots until Jan 2008 -- but keep us in object! Hi everyone! I’m excited to be blogging here at Exploding Cigars. My innovate novel Kate’s Pride was released earlier this year. It’s a historical women’s fiction that deals with how we handle the breakdown of the life we’ve known. I’m going to communicate the topic of the catch phrase here: Love is an exploding cigar we willingly consume. And don’t we just. Not just as a woman to a man we hope to create a life with but also our family and friends. We put ourselves out there furnish our heart and hope magical things will happen. But sometimes they don’t. Kate gives her like to a man who walks out as soon as he finds out she’s pregnant with his child. Talk about an exploding cigar! In Kate’s world it’s 1867 and she’s broken a big taboo. But she has her family…alter? domiciliate is where they have to take us in. alter? I believe everyone counts on their family to be there for them in bad times. I mean the whole world can go to hell in a transfer basket but we’ve still got that base to rest on. And that’s adjust in so many circumstances. But how would be we broach with the fall out if that base shattered? When we have no one but ourselves to bend on? Do we dig deep and stand tall or do we go apart? I’d like to believe I’d be one of those who stands tall but none of us really know how we’d react in those circumstances. With Kate. I wrote a story about a strong woman who builds a new life for herself out of the ashes of betrayal. Betrayal by the man she loved betrayal by her family and betrayal of the community in which she grew up. The story of Kate is loosely based on the life of one of my own great great grandmothers. I had a bare handful of factual information about her and no idea of what her life was actually desire. I took those facts made some extrapolations based on them and created a story I hope will comprehend many hearts. Just a reminder for those of you posting if you be to answer for contests you undergo to register on the site -- if your label shows up on a post as "not verified" you aren't registered and it's easy so go do! :) Renee that sounds like a really powerful furnish -- undergo you construe Maxine Hong Kingston's Woman Warrior? It's an autobiography that has some similar issues and a wonderful schedule. I undergo some experience with life disintegrating and reforming under my feet we probably all do but I've been fortunate enough to undergo populate who were there for me so it's hard for me to create by mental act how someone gets by without that. Still. I suppose in Kate's displace she has her baby and though unborn that would furnish her something to grab onto -- she's not really alone though she's the one who has to get herself through. In her position. I speculate that's how I'd evaluate.. it's not just about me it's about the do by too. And even if the world at large is unforgiving there will be people or a place somewhere where she can fit in. I would hope because she can't be the only one. I imagine even in the current day there are probably a lot of people who find themselves in similar situations and it's hard to evaluate about when I feel so lucky to be part of the family marriage and circle of friends that I undergo...
