Two Cigars and some Wild Turkey

Filed under: Cigars — admin @ 9:26 pm

One night this weekend I had what had to be the best cigar I’ve ever smoked. It was the God of Fire by Don Carlos. It’s a robusto cigar that packs a lot of flavor and smokes wonderfully. My pallet is not refined enough to tell you there was a hint of nutmeg with a dash of pepper in the cigar but I can tell you it was smooth and spicy. Plus it had a pretty band and you know how I’m a sucker for a lady in a nice dress.

It's one of 'em that isn't a figurado.

See, isn’t she beautiful?

And last night I had a Maxx cigar that is named The Ego. “Why is it named that?” you ask. It’s nine inches long with a fifty ring gauge.

It's the long one.

Quite frankly, I don’t think I’m going to get one that long again. It wasn’t overpowering or anything like that (I do smoke Fuente Churchills and they’re suppose to be medium to full-bodied). It was just too damned long. It took me about two hours to smoke that thing. I didn’t have to relight it (when one side is burning quicker then the other side I do put the flame to the lagging side but that really isn’t relighting. And I only had to do that a couple of times, which, I think, is good considering how long it was).

Seeing as it did take me two hours to finish up that cigar I’m glad I poured myself a generous helping of Wild Turkey. Wild Turkey may not be the smoothest drink out there (Hell, no one else I know will drink it) but it does have a lot of flavor to it. I’ve heard that bourbon goes well with cigars (as well as rum with cigars) and that is definitely true with Wild Turkey. I think that’s especially true with cigars that have a more complex flavor, which both of these cigars have.

If you don’t smoke cigars you probably think that I’m insane when I say that there’s nothing better then a cigar and some bourbon. There just isn’t anything better. It allows you the opportunity to relax and enjoy the moment after a day or, in my case, a week of hassle. This is important to me because I enjoy it so much. BigT
