Now, onto a few of the inescapable environmental factors under which I will conduct my reviews. Being a civilian contractor in Afghanistan, I am able to get a lot of Cubans and non-Cubans that I was not able to before now. I’ve also come to be very comfortable with smoking mostly the larger ring gauges of cigars, 60 and above. My first tobacconist advised me to try and get the sticks that fit my hands and, seeing as how I have uncommonly large hands, the larger ring gauges seemed to fit me better.

I will only be smoking and reviewing these cigars in a large concrete bunker that is the only designated smoking area of the airbase at which I am working, so please forgive some of the pictures if they have the only background I have at the present time: billions and billions of small rocks, and a concrete wall. I also cannot pair any of these cigars with a traditional adult beverage, only bottled water. Now that the preliminaries are out of the way, let’s get to it!

Rocky Patel 10th Anniversary Decade
Medium to full bodied; smooth, rich & complex with full rich flavors consisting of dark spice, black cherry, roasted coffee with a light dose of pepper. A well balanced cigar with a long full finish and a lingering sweetness.

The Forty-Six 4 1/2x46
Lonsdale 6 1/2x44
Robusto 5x50
Toro 6 1/2x52
Torpedo 6 1/2x52
The Emperor 6x60
Tubo 6 1/2x52


Wrappers Ecuadorian Sumatra
Binders Nicaraguan
Fillers Nicaraguan

I wanted my first review to be from the Rocky Patel label. After reading and seeing so many interviews of him intimating how difficult it was to break into a business that was already established, and finally succeeding in such a short time, I felt a certain kinship with him, given that I am leaving the only profession I have known for over 30 years, and entering a brand new one.

Rocky Patel has said that after ten years of breaking into the cigar business, dealing with all the heartaches and headaches of getting the right tobaccos, making the right deals, getting the right torcedors, and overcoming all the other hurdles it took to being the new guy on the block, he finally came up with the right blend to commemorate the past decade with Indian Tabac.

And what a decade it has been. After coming out with his Indian Tabac Super Fuerte, his first successful trial at blending a full bodied cigar, he felt confident enough to put his own name on his cigars. Then, after such greats as the entire Edge line, the Sungrown line, and the two massive successes of the Vintage 1990 & 1992 blends, the Renaissance and the entire line of private labels, he finally felt he had come up with the best blend on which to put the Decade label. Apparently, the cigar world felt just as strongly about it as well. The torpedo Decade received a 95 rating from Cigar Insider; one of the highest ratings ever, given the fact that such a relatively short time was given till its inception. In truth, the cigar took twelve years to come out, but Mr. Patel wanted the extra time to make sure he had the right blend to call the Decade.

[Image: ?action=view&amp;current=IMG_1420.jpg]

Upon first look at the Emporer, you can’t help but notice how deep the rich brown wrapper leaf is, smooth and veiny. It’s a solid roll, but not too hard to prevent the perfect draw, which it obviously does have. The outer wrapper smells of perfect grassy, barnyard aroma, rich leather, reminding me of a mahogany bookcase. The filler smells a little like smoked ribs and roasting coffee beans.

The initial cut was perfect. The cap stuck to the blade, possibly from a little overhumidifying. Initial lighting was very good, at first the taste was of sweet vanilla beans and cacao nibs. The draw was almost perfect with barely a little tightness. The first few inches had a taste that reminded me of the great smoked T-bone steak, and just a hint of an oatmeal raisin cookie. The burn was just a little uneven, but not surprisingly it worked itself out. The draw was consistent, easily allowing enough smoke to fill your mouth and give you the proper amount of its intended taste, but not too much as to be sucking through a straw. The first ash fell off unnoticed by me at about an inch and a half to 2 inches.

[Image: ?action=view&amp;current=IMG_1422.jpg]

The middle two inches was what really did it for me. All the subtle nuances coming together, being heated enough to bring out the very best that an RP could give you. Smoking this part of the cigar was a real pleasure, bringing thoughts to mind of the tobacco barns where the leaves are fermented, the tables where they are brought together for the final roll. This was truly one of the better cigars I have smoked; every part of it bringing nothing but pleasure. The wrapper ash was grayish white, the binder and outer filler ash were black, and the inner filler ash was pure gray. I was so wrapped up in the visuals and tasting nuggets that I barely noticed the second ash falling off at just over two inches.

[Image: ?action=view&amp;current=IMG_1428.jpg]

Unfortunately, given the climate I was forced to be in while reviewing, the head kept flaking off just a little, and finally gave way to the extremely low temperature and unraveled on me. If I had been lucky enough to have another of these fine sticks, I definitely would have sparked it up. Like an old friend, I was sad to see it go. I will make sure to get a box of these on my next order, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this to any fellow cigar smoker, warning them to be prepared for one of the best smokes you will have in a long time.]]>

I was supposed to see Maytag last night at our month lodge meeting, but he got wind of Betty's bomb. So, he went running for cover...something about sniffles.

So, I had to brave the bomb alone. Fortunately, we Masons build excellent structures. I took cover behind a bomb protective wall and inspected the package from the Mum compound.

First the note:
[Image: Betty.jpg]

I noted a hint of pickle smell, and I thought that Betty may not have been too fresh in her nether regions--she does get around, you know. But I truly couldn't place the exact location of the scent.

Then...
[Image: IMAG0082.jpg]

Lodge members were thrown everywhere...massive carnage. However, the reinforced masonry building held together.

This is what was left when the smoke cleared.
[Image: IMAG0080.jpg]
[Image: IMAG0081.jpg]

The Signature Oliva V Mumcero
Don Pepin Garcia Mumcero
Nub Connecticut
Oliva O
Camacho
Cain Daytona (This will be the first I have had! Really looking forward to it.)

All in all, simply amazing cigars.

Once again, Jimmie proves why is the true gentleman of the board. One of the greatest honors I can say is that I have had the privilege to herf with the Mum, an experience I recommend to every member of this board. Jimmie is all around class and generosity.

And I thank you, my brother!

Nevertheless, this STILL does not stop me from shipping my mason jars to you (plus anything that may stowaway along with them).]]>

Took a few ideas from the internet and figured id do something slightly from the norm. Skipper uses floral foam, so why not some silica kitty litter. Ill take some more pictures when I'm done.

Put about an inch in each one and sprayed them till about half were clear.

Wife didn't have any glue sticks for her glue gun, so i just cut out the middle of my containers and I have a ton of screen from redoing porch a few years ago. I just trimed it to fit under lid and it holds it pretty well

Put boxes and containers in to humidify, boxes are pretty dry so this may take a while

Since we had talked about engagement a month prior to this, I was really blind-sided, and it really killed me. Here I was, had the ring picked out, the proposal all planned out and then BAM! Done. This past week has been one of the toughest I have ever experienced.
I thought maybe she was just going through something (New job, graduation, incredibly stressed), but we talked about it today, and its done. Three near perfect years. Life planned out as far as moving to VA after school, and starting our lives together there.

I just wanted to vent. A TON of my friends graduated last year or are off doing internships this semester, so really, it was my girlfriend and just a couple select friends left. My girlfriend being the majority of my life here. So without her, not many people to vent to here.

And regardless of if we've met (which we haven't) I still regard you as my friends and look forward to meeting many of you in the future. This place (as well as NubLive) have really helped me get through the past week (mainly by taking up my time and keeping me from thinking about it).

And now I will explain myself a little... without saying the name of the shop (but most of you can figure it out)

Since my local shop opened I have been a big supporter. So much so that I have stopped buying cigars off the Internet. I rented a locker form him when it was $650 and supposedly a private lounge (but he let anyone in anyway) and then $250 when it became an open lounge. Throughout he has always required that you buy a cigar or 2 just to get in the lounge (something I didn't agree with especially with the $650 deal, but I played along). AND, I wrote and installed his web site including all art work, photos and everything else!
I also supported all of his events. I own dozens of cigars I DISPISE just because I wanted to support him. I mean dozens... For instance the other day I counted 33 Gurkha's. I hate that cigar, I never bought one any place but his shop and it pains me to buy them. But I was a supporter.
Then the other dya I open my locker and there's a not inside. It said Blah Blah Blah "I have decided not to offer you a locker this year" Blah Blah Blah.
I asked him why. He told me that some of his workers said I have not been buying cigars (funny, I have CC receipts totally almost a thousand in boxes (& that locker) alone), and then he said I make them stay open late... Now I have to tell you, I dont see how. It's true sometimes we watch the fights on Friday night, and if there's a good fight on and we are mid-round I have asked if they can wait another minute or 2. Yes, a minute or 2. We are talking a round here. Tops 4 1/2 minutes. I would not ask at the beginning of a round. And... I ask, I do not demand, I do not hide the TV controller... In fact they have it and they are cleaning up. Often I will empty an ashtray or 2 while this happens. So yea, guilty! And they 3rd thing he mentioned was he said I told someone not to get a locker. That is a total lie. It did not happen. Period.
So I told him that he gives me this note instead of handling it like a man and talking to me when these things supposedly happened (some items he referenced were months old). So I simply packed my stuff and told him it was ok if he didn't want my $ cause I knew of plenty of people who did.
And there you have it.
