I'm a Warlock... man.

Filler: Dominican Republic, Nicaragua

My really great friend Scott bought me this cigar, by the way, I really enjoy it when someone hands me a cigar to try. Matter of fact, this one time (at bandcamp) Ernesto Perez Carrillo handed me a prototype cigar to try and critique. That was one of the greatest cigar honors of my life, what a guy!

So Scott tears off the price tag (he's Emily Post all the way) and hands it to me.

I don't know why but my first thought it seemed a bit gimmicky... but guess what? What a great smoke, very medium body, consistent nut flavor and almost a sweetness to it, hate to say chocolate to describe sweet but it seems to be way of things.

My good friend gave me this cigar, thank you! You're awesome man!!

This one should top off my birthday smoke celebration-extravaganza. The cherry on the proverbial tobacco sunday. This cigar always rates very high, almost a perfect score across the board. I'm ready!

Really Good Advice...

If you smoke a cigar and you really don't care for it, try smoking one more at a later time, do that before you decide to give up on it, you might be surprised - Lewis

Triple Siete! You can't go wrong...

777 By Jesus Fuego Belicoso
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo
Binder: Nicaraguan Corojo Filler: 2/3 Corojo 1/3 Criollo Medium Full-bodied
Nicaraguan puro using maduro or criollo wrapper from Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua,
This cigar has a corojo binder and a 2/3-1/3 split of corojo & criollo fillers.
Price: $5.50, Capital Cigars, Denver.

Geez, the above description sound really complicated! A lot more complicated than this smoke! I love this cigar, really great bang for the buck. Any cigar a guy named Jesus makes will probably be good.

There's pepper, and strong wood flavors for me, and a bit of some kind of mint on the tip of my tongue? It burns really well, the ash holds up evenly and it last a while. This is great maduro cigar for beginners, after they get used to smoking cigars. Not overpowering at all but still enough body to make it interesting and relaxing. Ya know, like you're really doing something now! One of my top ten, easily.

The best part, smoking with a friend!

I've heard so much about this place, was in the neighborhood so stopped in. Feels like you get a free hug for just walking in the door. I had a ton of fun hanging with the regulars, that's very unusual for walking in your first time.

The humidor is large, their prices are excellent. Two big smoking rooms but no TV, I like TV, a lot! But great seating none the less, well ventilated and very fast internet and parking in the rear.

I hang out at Capital Cigars, those are my boys, but this place will make a great satellite office!

Filler – Nicaraguan
MSRP – $5.50

Sometimes you can go home. 777 Zero is one of my favorite cigars, I don't know, can you really ever have an absolute favorite? When it comes to cigars, they are like friends to me, from time to time I'll have one or twenty best friends!
One of the most predictable smokes for me, smooth start, slightly peppery, leaves a great taste in your mouth. Stays lit, smokes evenly. A very good cigar for the money. I like to smoke the 777 to wind the day down, typically my last smoke of the evening if I'm doing more than one.

Today's Smoke: Don Diego Fuerte, Nicaragua
Price at about $6.00, Edwards in Denver

Decent smoke, very peppery to start and smooths out nicely as you go along. Stayed lit for the most part, ash was a little choppy Creamy middle and a bit more strong at the nib. Would not do again, there's too many others at this price range that I've enjoyed much more.

EIGH,
