| Christmas for Communists: Fidel spelling it out in front of the Star of Bethlehem and Marx |
Fidel may have banned Christmas in 1969, but he reinstated it in honour of the pope in '97, so I think we're allowed to have a good smoke to celebrate.
My right hand man Sam has returned, but to the Wrong Side of the Bridge, and as Greg is away I've sent him the latest batch, so he's the go-to man for your christmas smokes.
They are:
- La Gloria Cubana - Puritos: little cellophane-wrapped cigarillos
- Oliva Serie G: little nicaraguan nipples.
- Fonseca KDTs: rice-paper wrapped coffee cohort joys (when they draw! you might need to poke'em a bit)
- Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas: not as strong as their big brothers the Specially Selected, in a handy format and with a fruity flavour.
- Cohiba Secretos: very expensive, luxurious small cigars, maduro wrapper aged 5 years and filler 3 before they even roll them, rich chocolatey flavours, beautiful dessert smoke.
and ... drumroll ...
some Punch Double Coronas, well aged, the largest mainstream format and 2 and a bit hours of smoking pleasure. Now, as they are really quite expensive, and Hugenormous, they are to be shared in the spirit of christmas, one for every two heretics. So i'm hoping you'll get together and share on chugging duties. Would be good for poker, watching the ashes, or a very intricate board game (axis and allies?).
I had the pin like La Gloria Cubana yesterday afternoon. It was really nice the whole way through. Near the end it got really spongy but never lost taste or gained harshness. I did have coffee on hand but found it tasted nicer just by itself.
