wound down and the Bob Grant radio show was coming to an end, I lit one of "those cigars" that I found in the bottom of Desk Top III. You know "those cigars." They are the no name cigars people give you and you put them in your humidor, chuckling to yourself "yeah, sure I MIGHT smoke this someday." For all you know they have doggy doo in them. Nobody's ever heard of them, the company that makes them or knows what you're talking about when you describe the band to them.
But, . . .
SOMETIMES . . .
So at 1741 hours I lit this 6 3/4" x 50 cigar with a dark blue, not navy blue though, band with white lettering that said Corona Cigar Company and El Repo to the left of the main area of the band, and imported, hand made (of course!!!) to the right.
This cigar was extremely well constructed and burned perfectly, with a good draw. It had a fairly dark wrapper, but not necessarily maduro. Overall, it proved to be somewhat of a mysteriously flavored smoke that lasted until 1845 hours. It tasted of various things throughout, among those being burnt tire rubber, unfrosted and unsweetened chocolate layer cake, rich earth with occasional hints of cream, flint and unburnt tire rubber. I wonder if these cigars had anything to do with the big liability case involving Firestone and Ford recently?
Actually, I'm pretty pleased, and after having a couple of disappointing cigars this past week, this was nice, even if weird. Don't know how long I had it, but it was there for quite a while, I know that much.
