Campanas

Campanas (3/5)

  1. Cristales. Mmmm yummy. My first box purchase was a 25 cab of Boli Belicosos Finos, circa 2008. Beautiful honey colored wrappers, perfect fill, perfect draw, beautifully intense flavor. Purchased blind, so I was a nervous wreck through the whole process. Cheers.
  2. Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Humor, tragedy, life on a Greek island during WW2.
  3. It's about priorities. If you want things or experiences abroad, you will need cash. People smarter than I am seem to be able to come by cash more easily. For me it means giving up on relaxation. If I could give up on things, life would slow down significantly. But I'm addicted. The addiction wanes with age yet I can't help but think life would have been more relaxing and pleasant had I prioritized for less rather than more. Temperament comes into play as well - it would kill some people to force them to slow down. More power to them is what I say.
  4. Smoked through a box of CdL#2 from circa 2012. Very good construction, mild which is ok by me, but bland. I like to think I can pick up on complexity - these had none. Given a choice between a Coronita en Cedrio and the CdL I had, I would have picked the en Cedro. Rustic but honest flavours. Glad to hear that recent examples have more complexity.
  5. QC was once described by a lady friend as "this one will lift your kilt". I like the mix of peat and saltiness; in fact I look forward to a bowl of mussels with a side of QC (or the other way around). Good price to quality ratio for those who don't absolutely need a smooth single malt.
  6. I object strenuously. There is no way Obama walks into a gun store!
  7. "Bolivarity" I like it. With your permission, I'll use it.
  8. eh, a bit delayed here, but PM sent Smithy.
  9. Rye, Each box holds a special memory. Bring Kleenex. Looking forward to a first rate photo essay.
  10. This. The forecast for western Canada's oil economy is: shitty with a high probability of crap.
  11. Didn't look too bad actually, but it's now in humi getting a spa treatment. That box was a beauty in terms of construction/draw. Cheers and hope you are doing well.
  12. This week I started on a gut-rehab of my house. First task is to insulate the basement, which of course means cleaning out the basement. So today I cart out four years worth of spent cigar boxes to the fire pit. Before tossing the boxes I would pull the lid off the SLBs and open the dressed boxes, thinking they would burn more quickly. Half way through, I flip open the lid on a box of Bolivars, lo and behold there's a cigar sticking it's head out from behind the liner: the very last of a splendid box of Boli Corona Extras. In the scheme of things its a really small thing. But, Ask me if I'm a happy man. Alan
  13. Thanks Nino. Wow, that crew are just kids.
  14. Thanks Ken. Great read. Too bad 'bout the pictures though. I conjured up a mental picture of Steve Martin running around the ship deck while fish were exploding everywhere and the vegans crying and throwing up. My bad.
