This weekend was  perfect to enjoy such a great smoke.  It was 75 degrees sitting out at the lake on the boat house kicking back with an adult beverage.  It didn’t get much better than that, until I pulled out a Padron Anniversary.  This cigar is what most aficionados deem the best of the best.

The cigar itself has a nice oily sheen and flawless wrapper.  There are no visible veins and the cap was perfect.  The pre light aroma is of cocoa and cedar, with a bit of caramel.  The cut of the cap was flawless with my Xikar Xi and I lit the cigar up with my Xikar Element.  The first third I had flavors of caramel and chocolate.  The second and last third there were notes of sweetness and caramel throughout.

The cigar burned flawlessly and never ran on me.  I smoked it until it burnt my fingers.  I would recommend this cigar to all smokers regardless of their preference.

How often have you heard that latley? It is an all too often occurence these days for us cigar smokers to hear those exact words when walking into a pub or bar… some of us even our own cigar shops! How did this happen? How can this be stopped?

Well, I know we all have the same questions going through our heads but a number of cigar manuafatuers and retailers have decided to try and do something about it. It’s called the Cigar Rights of America and it’s about time. As I am sure most of you are aware of the SCHIP bill that congress is trying to pass to impose a 3,000% tax on tobacco, including cigars. This is unconstitutional and taxation without representation.

Please click on the link and read up about what they are trying to do for your rights as a cigar smoker. Join the fight and help us keep our rights as United States citizens. It is through these avenues that we must proceed to keep our government from taking all of our rights away. The land of the free… let’s keep it that way.
