The Short Meaning of Life

... as delivered by Greg on new year's eve 2011... enjoy.

the mighty Partagas Short

p.s. yes there is a review of the partagas short in there, basically it has gotten over its youth as it was described in the previous review, and is now delightful with a glass of port. it really was amazingly good.

A Day on the Greens

Cruising with my 4-iron and our good friend R.A.S.S.

Hi-jacking Hindriksenors account, this is the first blog posting from 'The Little Siglo' (ironic twist on the word "little"). I contemplated and condensed my recent 18 holes into some short notes to follow.

Fearing the return of my dreaded 'slice', I look to my golf bag for the Ramon Allones Special Selected.

Pre lit draw: like the sock over my driver - snug, but not too tight. tastes of honeyed manuka chips and hand ground paprika

First third: even burn - much like the back of my legs after declining the offer of sunscreen, consistent flavours as depicted above

I aproach the ball full of confidence and with a steely grip, hammer the little sucker 230 meters down the fairway and onto the corner of the green.

As a stroll along in the rough heading towards a certain birdie opt, my palette contemplates the next stage.

Second third: introduction of  strong cocoa beans was increasingly present. Also, as the burn began heading off track, so was disobedient ash brought into line by an old friend - BIC

Putter now in hand and only 3 Meters until realising an amateur golfers dream...

Final pre victory draw followed by an exhale of short but sweet taste of Birdie glory.

Final third: Although the heat was steadily increasing on the draw, it released some pleasant herbal flavours (kind of like chewing the underside of a jandal that had seen the surface of freshly cut grass).

A kind comforter after a hidious slump to boggie.

Liga Privada T52 -- a.k.a 'Big Boy'

La Gloria Cubana Series R #7

We smoked Joel's pleasant non-Cuban La Gloria Cubana (about the same size as the La Liga T52?quite a big fellow)

• Pre-draw: liquorice taste and horse stable smell
• First half: easy draw; subtle flavours; green capsicum aftertaste
• Second-half: dung taste 3/4 of the way through; becoming more edgy with cocoa, leather, persimmon and what we agreed tasted like 'dust flying in a stable around cows'.

Here's Joel embracing the cigar with flamenco intensity:
