A Camacho Corojo Candela for St. Patrick’s Day – March 17, 2010

I know, I just mentioned smoking a Camacho Corojo Candela Monarca last week, but it’s St. Patty’s Day! This box of cigars has been very consistent. The draw is very loose, so I started out piercing the cap with a Cigar Spike, then gave it a traditional cut after the hole started to tar up. The same full flavor, with that tinge of chlorophyll from the emerald green w

rapper. Very heavy, yet refreshing at the same time. Sadly, I’m down to my last 5 or 6 of these.

There was a very good article on Cigar Aficionado‘s website from back in 2003 about candela cigars. It’s worth a read: http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Archives/CA_Show_Article/0,2322,1251,00.html

I’ve been nursing a cold for the past few days, but it’s subsided a bit, at least enough to enjoy a cigar. I

got to thinking that I’ve never really celebrated St. Patty’s day. I’m not particularly religious, and I’m not particularly Irish, but, as a huge snake hater, I have a great deal of respect for anyone who can clear an entire country of snakes. I like that.

One last thing: I’m still waiting to hear from this month’s contest winner, Sebastian. If I don’t hear from him by March 31, I’ll have to award the prize to the runner-up. Sebastian, please e-mail me your address! There’s a fine 5 pack of JdN Antaños courtesy of Drew Estate on the line!

That’s it for now, until the next cigar,

Random Cigar Musings – Wednesday March 10, 2010

I’ve been on a maduro t

orpedo kick this week. After Saturday’s Diesel Unholy Cocktail, I followed it up on Sunday with a very nice CAO Brazilia Samba. The Samba is a 6¼ x 54 torpedo with a Brazilian wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler. I enjoyed this cigar quite a bit. It burned very evenly and was on the stronger side of medium bodied. Cocoa, coffee and some spiceyness were the dominant flavors, ones that I expect and enjoy in this line. I am pretty sure I got this one at the CAO party at the Palms in Las Vegas at the 2008 IPCPR show. They handed out a handful of CAO, Toraño, and Henri Wintermans cigars at the door and Lynyrd Skynyrd provided the entertainment. Quite a cool evening.

Last night I picked out a Toraño Exodus 1959 – 50 Years Torpedo. Slightly shorter than the Samba at 5½ x 52, it also sports a Brazilian wrapper and Nicaraguan filler, but with a Honduran binder. Similar in flavor to the CAO, but I found it milder. I was a little disappointed by this one, I expected stronger flavors. The construction was top notch of course. I’ve had good experiences with this line, too bad this one didn’t live up to my expectations. I picked this one up at Cigars International last fall when they had a Toraño event at the Superstore in Bethlehem. I have a couple Casa Toraño Maduro Lanceros for which I have high hopes.

After all the dark wrapped torps this week I decided I needed to c

hange it up a little tonight and grabbed a Camacho Corojo Candela Monarca. I know, I should have saved this for March 17th, it being the appropriate emerald green for St. Patrick’s Day. The cigars from this box have all been rather loosely rolled, giving them a very free draw. I found out some time ago that if I pierce the cap with a Cigar Spike, it makes for a perfect draw. These are a strong cigar, although the candela wrapper tempers the power that the Corojo line is famous for a little. These can still overwhelm if one isn’t careful. I find them a nice change of pace. I still have several from a box I purchased a few years ago from Rock’s Smoke Shop in East Stroudsburg, PA. so smoking one next week isn’t out of the question.

Don’t forget, only a couple day left to get your entries in for this month’s contest. Click here and leave a comment with your guess! Thanks once again to the fine folks at Drew Estate for providing outstanding prizes!

Until the next cigar,
