Puff

Sitting or lying out in the sun after a hard day's work (or, in my case, an easy half-day's work), sipping a beer, and puffing on a cigar: quite enjoyable. Jeff and I have started enjoying this timeless hobby every now and then, so here's a quick cigar breakdown based on recent experience:

Captain Black (Peach Rum flavored) - I hope you didn't expect to hear anything bad about a pirate-themed brand, because you won't. Three dollars for a pack of 20 little cigars, and they're surprisingly delicious. Of course, they're really kind of girly cigars--they're more like cigarettes and they're strongly flavored. But whatever; they're cheap, they won't bore you or destroy your tastebuds with an unending supply of tobacco, they're tasty, and they're Captain Black. Yarrgh, matey!

Black and Mild - Not doin' it for me. Even the mild versions seem to be rolled with no other intent than to make a drunk person sick(er). Especially if that person is Jeff Silvan. They've got that special plastic tip, but who cares? When I tried to open mine the other night, the tip got caught in the plastic and ripped off anyway. When I tried to smoke what was left without that crazy tip, bits of stuff kept breaking off into my mouth, which is clearly not cool. If I wanted to chew my tobacco, I'd buy some chew. Plus, these suckers cost a heck of a lot more than Captain Black, and that ain't right. I can't in good conscience recommend this brand to human beings.

Phillies Blunts - Surprisingly good. I gotta say, the Honey flavored ones smell like sweet, sweet honey, straight from the bee's bottom. If you're not crazy about honey, maybe these aren't for you, but then again, if you aren't crazy about honey, you're probably some kind of cold, heartless monster. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I haven't actually partaken of any honey flavored ones yet, but I intend to at some point. A few of us smoked the Original flavor last night though, and those were good stuffs. Deegs even left me the last one in the package; bangarang! Not too expensive, so I'd say a good deal. These cigars are fairly large, but then again the last quarter or so kind of loses its charm, so feel free to stomp that when the time comes.

So that's it for now. Go get a cigar and a beer and sit out in the sun, just as God intended, assuming I've interpreted His Word correctly. If not, may lightning strike my next cigar, lighting it in the coolest way imagineable.
