Howdy, Wild Bull Hardcock reporting back on the poker evening last friday. The entire Tamaki Makaurau chapter was present, including overseas returnees Smidgen (Andrew) and Stands-with-a-Flush (Zach), whose prognosis of an impending 30th bday required repeated and large prescriptions of liquor inhalation.
Perhaps the highlight of our cast of characters was this beautiful young lady (Gl(wh)oria aka Hadley) and her enticing assets: a bottle of 25 yr old Glenlivet and a Montecristo A. I will not dwell on the matter of prostitutes and their extremely well lubricated gran coronas, but i sampled one (orally!) a couple of times over the night and the cigar was a cracker.
The occasion certainly broke the midwinter-weather-imposed cigar drought for me, as i had a record three cigars and would have moved onto a fourth had a storm not interrupted proceedings (i suspect it was sent by the all-knowing Ministry of Health). It's amazing how whisky cleans the palate, and my careful progression from a light Nub 464, through a strengthening Vegas Robaina Clasico, to a nuclear-powered Illusione Bombone left me with no regrets... i thoroughly enjoyed the lot of'em. That nicaraguan Bomb certainly lived up to my name.
Other cigars present were a lovely cafe creme flavoured Quai d'Orsay Panatela (def. not a whisky match), more than one Bolivar Petit Corona, and Joel's consolation Bolivar Gold Medal.
Many thanks to
¡Chupapoya! (Sam) for setting up the occasion.

ReplyDeleteYou can say that again! Dapper Dan
ReplyDeleteSam was also smoking a Partagas 8-9-8 that night - remember him saying that it was good'n'peppery... do you remember it Sam?
ReplyDeleteYea, I had it after Bolivar petit corona. Made the Bolivar seem very mild.
