Drew Estate Kahlua Robusto

So here it is.  I had just made some purchases, and I've decided to smoke this one right away.

Now I only am able to compare this with Romeo No.3, Phillies, and Swishers, so please bare with me.

I did like the coffee flavor on the cap.  It actually made me think "I should've bought the whole box because that box was so awesome!".  But when lit it, I didn't really enjoy smoking it too much.  It actually reminded me of Swisher Sweets.  Little did I know that Drew Estate is actually acquired by Swisher's so I guess that makes sense.

Would I buy this again?  I'm definitely not going to go out of my way to get it. Though I wouldn't mind having the box! Yes, it was just that cool!

Drew Estate doesn't even make them anymore anyway.  I think it was some limited time deal they had with Kahlua.

Until next time, see you!

Today's purchase 6/29/2017

Well, I realized that if I am going to start with the cigar hobby, I need to get a humidor.  So I went out shopping!

Today's purchase

Macanudo Vintage 2006 Toro

Well I saw this online and thought to myself, "I want that cigar band!!!". 

So I started doing some research to see if I can purchase them here in Nagoya, and sure enough I found the store, I bought this mainly for the band, but considering that it is a vintage cigar, I am going to save this for a special occasion.

Cohiba Siglo II

Considering I had not smoked Cohiba cigars yet, I figured why not.  I ended up buying 2.

I was actually getting ready to check out when I saw the box of Kahlua.  It was cheap, and I do enjoy Kahlua drinks so I thought "Eh, why not?  I may not have much expectations, but they don't make them anymore anyway so at least I will be able to say I smoked it."

Zino Mouton Cadet No.3

This actually was given to me by the cigar shop owner as he was very happy to gain a new customer.  I couldn't believe it when he said 「これも何かの縁だと思うので、これを差し上げます」.  I was so happy that even though he told me to go smoke it right away, I am going to save it for a special occasion too.

A humidor

Well, I got it, and will need to season it before I stick the cigars in them.  But I couldn't resist as I was so excited to finally get a humidor, so this is what I did before I start seasoning it.

Yes, I was smiling like a child with a brand new toy when I took this photo.  I had to fight the urge to keep them in the humidor right away.  I really am looking forward to when it is all finished

Until next time, see you!

Romeo Y Julieta / Romeo No.3

This is the first premium cigar I have smoked in my life, and it happened on this very day, June 17th, 2017.

I still don't know what to look for in cigars as I have recently started this new hobby, but I will say that it is really smooth and easy to smoke compared to the low end cigars like Phillies, Swisher Sweets, and such.

What was the occasion?  Well my friend and I hosted a bachelor party for our boss, who is also a good friend of ours as he is getting married to his beautiful fiancee, so I decided "Why not start this on a very special day?".  So I actually purchased 8 of them few days ago, as I had read that this is a good one for the beginners to start out with.

We were pretty drunk, but damn it was good!

Bachelor party was a blast, cigar was good, the crew at the party are awesome, what more could we ask for?

Until next time, see you!
