Another working weekend (after having the last two weekends off), so another short Sunday post. Friday evening I smoked a Gran Habano Cabinet Selection Robusto that I was sure I had smoked before and written about here, but a search didn’t turn up anything. It’s a shame when I have to search my own site to refresh my memory, but that’s kinda why I started the site anyway! I was enthralled with this cigar! It’s a box pressed cigar with a rosado colored Corojo 
wrapper over Nicaraguan fillers. Â It had tremendous flavors of various spices that seemed to come and go. Once in a while a distinct cinnamon flavor would be in a draw, then it wouldn’t be there and there would be other sweet spices. This was a very entertaining cigar! There are darned few cigars I smoke in my jaded advancing years that capture my attention to the point where I think I want to buy more to have on hand, then imagine my disappointment when I find that these seem to have been discontinued! This is the danger of sitting on cigars too long! I shudder to think how many other cigars in my humidor I might fall in love with just to have my heart broken when I find out I may never find them again. Oh well, I suppose to paraphrase the old adage, it’s better to have smoked and lost, then never have smoked before, os something like that.
Last night we went to Atlantic City for a screening of the classic film, Caddy Shack, at the Borgata. The twist was that Chevy Chase was doing a Q&A afterwards hosted by Angelo Cataldi, a Philly sports radio personality. It’s always great seeing a great movie on the big screen, with big speakers, and Chevy told some stories and answered some pre-screened questions afterwards. We had our seats upgraded, so we had that going for us, which was nice. ? . Afterwards, I sat down in the B Bar in the middle of the 
Borgata casino and enjoyed a Cornelius and Anthony The Gent Robusto while my wife went and played some slot machines. Extra credit (no prize this time, sorry) if someone can tell me the significance of my choice of this cigar, besides my obvious affinity for the line! I try to always have a theme. Like the few bars in Vegas where cigars are welcomed, the B Bar in Borgata is cigar friendly, and I was very happy to see many folks enjoying cigars as I walked through to find a seat. Of course, the cigar was just fine! I am still curious to see if this brand will continue to exist. I still need to actually ask Steven Bailey. I’ll keep enjoying them!
Was home by 2am and have to go to work! That’s all for today, until the next time,
