That magic moment...


Recommended Posts

That magic moment... when you realize you're smoking one of the best cigars of your life, one that you know you'll never forget!

Great cigars are not unusual around here, so perhaps it's even more remarkable for one to stand out from the crowd so much.

My latest magic moment story below. What's yours?

My story:

Last night I had what may be the best cigar of my life (though there was that tantalizingly beautiful, long and lean Monte Especial I met in a bar that time).

It was late in the evening after my wife went to bed, so thinking I'd have a quick smoke before turning in myself I picked out a Bolivar Coronas Junior, the very first from a new box ROTT (albeit with a 3 years age on it already OGA MAR 12). Let me tell you, it was glorious!

I won't attempt a full review, but suffice to say it gave me everything I could ever expect from the marca and more. Buttery smooth and nutty, with just enough power and spice to know it had to be a Bolivar. Ventilation was superb with massive amounts of lucious, creamy smoke. It really was just perfect! Simply unrivaled!

What's more, while I'd picked this little gem out specifically expecting a 30-45 minute smoke before bed, it kept me entranced for an hour and 45 minutes... to be fair, I did contribute to that because I just couldn't put it down... toothpicked the nub down to the last 5/8 of an inch. Still, it really surprised me for a minuto to last so long (but, other than being a little bleary-eyed this morning, so glad that it did).

I'm sure I must've had a couple of Boli CJ's in the past, but they sure didn't leave the impression that this one did (not implying anything negative, just not the epiphany this one was). I'd never bought a box of these before, though I do like tres petit coronas (among other sizes). I usually keep some Parti Shorts, RASCC's and SCdlH El Principes on-hand, all great cigars that I won't abandon by any means. But, BCJ's definitely just made the top of my list of midget "must haves". And, I'll throw in here that I think a 42 RG is ideal anyway. I do smoke some fatties and some long & skinnies; all good in their own right, but none really suit me quite so well as a medium RG.

And, of course, I'm axious to try some more from this box. But, even if the rest do not live up to the first, I'm sure I will forever be ordering more in search of another magic moment!

Nice!!! Ok, I'll bite:}...

Last Sunday evening I have a great dinner with my best girl and after we take a nice botl of cab and go to the park to relax and talk. It's a little breezy and the lake is beautiful, my ledy is beautiful and full of pleasant conversation, so what better time to break out a tubed version of the MUO coro?

I had taken them out of the tubes and cedar boxed them a while back and frankly, even though they were good and I had enjoyed the ones previously set to flame, none of them had really been a truly "magic moment"...UNTIL NOW! Lit this puppy and WHAM!!! Right off the bat I knew THIS was the ONE! Light grass, honey, sweet wood, lemon zest, strength + intensity and just the most LUSH draw!! (my MOUF is now watering recalling the event)

Now, I know some of you will say: "Aw hell, that was just the environment n tha ledy playin tricks on his paletpotty.gif "...Awww contraire my friend! I have a WITNESS, my best girl will smoke with me from time to time and from the first puff this stick turned the conversation to it's excellence. And to avoid being too long winded, THAT was my most recent magic momentparty.gif

My most magical moment was a few years ago with a box of H.Upmann,No. 2. I was on my way to Brussel, Belgium to meet

my friend who was on Holiday for a few days. I thought that I would bring a box of cigars to smoke while he was here.It turned out to be the best cigars that I ever had. It was just a magical box, I forgot the code; Sorry !!!!!. The cigars had everthing you would dream about, There taste,There look,There feel, There everything. I made sure to smoke them very slowly and to spear them a quick smoke. If I was alone to say that they were great ,I would understand but my friend told me also that they were a great smoke also . He asked me to get him a box but

I knew that It would not be the same. They were really outstanding like nothing that I have smoked even up to now . A really unique cigar that I hope to run across again. It was truly a magical moment.

Amicalement,

Guy
