Christmas Day Cigars
By Jesse | December 26, 2007 |
Since we spent most of the day out at my In-Laws and the weather was surprisingly mild for this time of year. I got a chance to sit outside and enjoy a couple cigars during the day.
I started the day of with an AVO 787 Robusto and finished up with a Cuban Bolivar Belicosos Fino.
Alright, spill it. What did you smoke?

Started with a Gurkha Class Regent, ended with a nice Romeo y Julieta 1875.

After I wrote this last night I actually snagged a Graycliff Espresso. That is one very good cigar.

You know, it’s funny. I assumed that with it being a holiday and all, I’d have ample opportunity to smoke some great cigars. I was wrong. I didn’t smoke at all Christmas Eve (shock! horror!), but I did thoroughly enjoy an Ashton VSG Enchantment after everybody went home Christmas night.
No big deal, I’ll probably make up for it today. I’m waking up with a homemade latte and a Graycliff Chateau Grand Cru Presidente. Good cigar to wake up to, but not enough body to make for a good smoke later in the day.

An amazing feast was prepared by a friend of mine. She began cooking days ahead of time, and the least I could do, was to provide a cigar for her. Absent our better half (we are independent women aka single..lol) we slipped out to the garage and relaxed with a Cuban Cohiba Esplendido with a serpentine wrap…and of course, it was accompanied by the Christmas bubbly!
Great combination, Champagne and a Cohiba.

It was cold and windy, so I had to huddle in the garage with a Padilla Signature corona on Xmas Eve. It warmed up a little on Xmas Day so I dug up a Rocky Patel Sungrown torp. Tasty smokes.
Have a great New Years everyone!

I had an Arturo Fuente Rothschild, and it was grand.

I took almost three hours to smoke out an EGO Maniac…
I sat out on the back porch with some friends, temp was in the high 50’s and enjoyed a nice Christmas day…
Thanks for the reviews Jack…and Happy New Years to everyone

I wanted to treat myself so I pulled out a CAO Sopranos Boss. Now, I was coming down from quite the red wine buzz and sometimes cigars can make me even more buzzed and creep into that feeling not so good phase. Why do people insist on starting holiday dinners at 2pm? Do you know how hard it is to sustain drinking from then until 9pm when the kids are in bed and I can pull out a stogie? But with a glass of water, I thoroughly enjoyed this meaty Sopranos and even convinced my cigar mate Ironmeden to make the drive over. He lit up a Perdomo Champagne.
