Cohiba Black Robusto - A different kind of review part II

[jeromeroselli]

I call him the fat man.. Chubs, Fats Domino. He's a friend, and a companion. One of my dogs, Puggsley, a 27 pound 5 year old pug.

He much rather prefers my wife, because she spoils him, but we have a special bond. After a horrific day, today, we learned that our friend has epilepsy.

After spending 5 hours at the animal hospital on 15th street in NYC, and hundreds and hundreds of dollars, we returned home without our friend who was spending the night at The 5th Avenue Animal Clinic.

Something was missing when we got home. Our other dog, another pug named Tasha was confused and it was upsetting, so I decided to take her for a long walk. To fill the void, I cracked the humidor and pulled out a purchase that I made last week, a Cohiba Black Robusto.

As you can tell from my first cigar "review" I have a preference for dark wrapped cigars. This shared all of the attributes of my favorites. An oily complexion, where if it were skin, would require a visit from the dermatologist. Short and fat, and black. At first scent, it had a spicey aroma like a hot pepper, with a wonderful aroma of Dominican and Connecticut tobacco.

The light was great. It spent a week in the humidor so it was perfect.

I sat there with Tasha at the Washington square dog park, and each draw from this stick was healing. I let the ash get to be a good inch before I let it go. It looked like the 50 year old salt and pepper hair of Kid and Play. (The 80s hip hop group)

As I got to the middle of the cigar, I remembered Puggsley, and how he would have scoffed at the scent of smoke drifting the way of his flat face. He might have even coughed. Reaching the end and sitting on the wooden bench in the park, I realized it was just about time to get home, and I wondered how my buddy was all alone in his cage, and if he was okay, lonely or sad.

But I couldn't help but think that damn, that was a fine cigar.

Til next time,

Peace and health

Sorry to hear about your friend, epilepsy is very hard to deal with for pets. However, if they haven't already, I would highly suggest they test for lymes disease. When I was younger, we had a Golden Retriever that was incorrectly diagnosed with epilepsy. Once we took him to a different vet and he was diagnosed properly (as a case of Lymes), we were able to get it under control.

Good luck.

Thanks very much and I appreciate the advice.. With all of the tests they said they were going to do, I'm surprised they're not testing his blood alcohol level to see if he was drinking and driving. They're nothing if not redundant.. Ha.

Cheers

Damn..nothing worse than an inferm pet. The buggers just look at you without being able to talk. I can't say how many 1000's I have spent on Cohiba my Chessapeake Retriever but I couldn't give a damn. When you have had a shithouse day, the wife is not talking to you, the kids have written you off......Cohiba is sill is there tail wagging and ready to do some field work...no questions asked

Man, I'm sorry to hear about your little buddy. It really sucks. I love my pets, and its always hard when things go sour with them.

Thanks for the nice words fellas.

Update: Puggsley is home and much better.

Unfortunately, the Cohiba is stomped out in the dog park.

I will try to be a little more specific about my actual reviews in the future and give a bit more thought to that portion of my stories.

Cheers
