Jeffro Goes to Hell

January 2011 OCCS Evening

2011 is here and so is the year's first OCCS evening. It will be held on the 14th at Alcorn's on Watson Rd. I'd say to show up at about the normal time (somewhere between 5-6). Dinner will be provided (undecided) and so will the evening's cigar (undecided but will purchase at Alcorn's that evening). Please bring $5-$10 for a card game of sorts (Rummy Royal). I will bring a movie as well in case Jeff quickly takes all of our money.

Looking forward to it-
Joe

Top cigars for 2010

It has been a while since anyone posted and I think I know why. We have all been busy. No excuse, but still, life has a way to creep up on us.

That being said, I can't wait to escape life for a few hours tonight and hang out with the gang and enjoy some cigars. Speaking of enjoying what is everyones top three cigars for 2010?

Mine are:

1. Tatuaje "The Face" - There will be a review in a couple of weeks after I finish my 5th one.

2. Liga Privida T52 - Joe, thank you AGAIN for making that trade with me. Wow, what a great one.

3. My Father Le Bijou - I have only had one of these this year, but it was a memorable one. I smoked it on the way to the funeral home the day after my dad passed. I think I told this story before but the cigar started out great. Fantastic flavor, great burn, but towards the end it just fell apart. The wrapper was cracked, uneven burn, you name it, it went wrong. Everything but the flavor. The flavor stayed true to form and was excellent to the end. Just like my dad, his body (and the body of the cigar) fell apart at the end, but the ESSENCE of the man (and the cigar) stayed true. That was by far the most memorable cigar of the year for me.
