WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Kenfessions Competition! Week 1.

[MoeFOH]

After a little while bedding-in the new Kenfessions site, we're now looking to ramp-up some activity on there and get it singing... hopefully without any actual singing from Ken. Although nothing can be ruled out for certain. 

We've got 5x El Pres Samplers to give away via random draw, over the next 5 weeks!!   All you need to do is click through (link below) log-in, read the article and then leave a comment at the bottom (on the Kenfessions site, not in this thread). Make sure you use/mention your forum handle so we know who you are. Make the comment as detailed as you see fit but know that quality comments will get extra chances in the draw! 

If you wish, you can also subscribe to the site and get Ken's articles delivered straight into your inbox weekly! (This will be dependent on numbers, so the more the merrier!)

That's it! Here's the first article in the competition series - enjoy and good luck! 

 

Bolivar Belicosos Fino - James Squire ‘150 Lashes’ Pale Ale; Flor de Cana ‘Spresso’ Coffee Liqueur

By @Ken Gargett

The last of the current batch of seconds from Rob for Kenfessions. It would be fair to say that I did not necessarily leave the best to last, the Bolivar Belicosos Fino. As the picture hopefully shows, this was seconds for a reason. Well, I think it aspired to 2nd status and fell well short. ‘Ratty’ was my description of its looks.

5 1/2" by 52 ring gauge. A pleasant pale creamy brown wrapper. Notes of roast earth, toast, burnt meat – if I may jump in early, the Spresso worked really well with it. No great length here. It did need a lot of relighting. A fair cigar but hardly a great one. I have never had much luck with these and… continue to full article.

Read the recent.  And wrote a nice, detailed comment.  But then it erased when I tried to submit because I wasnt “logged in”.  

This is my life....

Bugger. Hmmm... thought it was possible to comment without log-in... doesn't appear so. Have added "log-in" to the instructions above.

this is for alex - for some reason, i am now unable to comment in the kenfessions thread????

alex, the 25 year old is amazing as well and about a third that price, so still very expensive. 

the 18 also a star. i actually really like their 7. a perfectly adequate sipping rum. sure, not the supreme quality of the 30 or 25 but good value.
