Sunday Afternoon In The Yahd, But Not In Bahstin . . .
an El Rey Del Mundo robusto, a nice cigar to walk around surveying the scene and warm up for two hours of heavy yard work, hand weeding, raking and wheelbarrowing, smooth, musty, slightly bad draw, mostly some burnt charcoal and sweet old baseball glove leather with a touch of licorice here and there. This is a consistent cigar, always pleasing, flavorful, nothing "aristocratic" but as Jimmy Breslin might say, "a good smokin' cigah."
Tuesday Morning Walk Up Park Avenue . . .
a Churchill sized Carlos Torano 1916, a gift from Goode Kinge Michaelsean, The Earle Of Sin-Sinatti. After a few months in the humidor, this was still spicy and kicking, nice draw, heavy cayenne pepper and horse saddle leather, again with a bit of a tough draw. This one could have sat for another six months and achieved possibly a better flavor profile. A nice kick in the head, rich tasting all the way through, perhaps a candidate for those Cuban cigar lovers who might diverge to a non-Cuban once in a while.
Tuesday Night Hangin' On The Side of CVS . . .
across the street from the job before heading in, after walking up Lexington Avenue from Grand Central Terminal, a Henry Clay robusto, smooth, tight draw, wonderful taste, never disappointing in that department, black pepper, fine Italian new shoe leather, hints of unsweetened cocoa powder.
