A CroMagnon Aquitaine Gran Perfecto and an Upcoming Podcast Appearance

I’ve been smoking my way through a sampler of RoMaCraft Gran Perfectos that I picked up at Son’s Cigars a while ago, and tonight I selected the Aquitaine Gran Perfecto. I alway thought the CroMagnon was my favorite in the line, and I love smoking them, but I forgot how good the Aquitaine was. This is a great example of how the wrapper makes a difference in flavor, as, if I’m not mistaken, the wrapper is the only difference in the two lines. The CroMagnon has the Broadleaf and the Aquitaine has the Habano wrapper from Ecuador. The Aquitaine is a little lighter, and it has that sugar cane sweetness (my new favorite descriptor), that I really enjoy. I don’t think it’s the format, although the 5 5/8″ x 60 size is neat. I’ll have to dig around the humidor and see if I have any other Aquitaine sizes, or pick some up. I enjoyed the crap out of this cigar! I had previously thought the Neanderthal was my favorite of the Gran Perfecto selection, but this one has replaced it.

 

Tomorrow evening I will be joining a panel to record an episode of the 1st and 15th Podcast, a bi-monthly podcast with Phil from ComedyCigarsMusic.com and Kap from Kaplowitz Media. We’ll be talking about the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 list that was just published, and, although I haven’t smoked many of the cigars in the top ten,  I have some general comments. Either way, it will be entertaining! As the name of the podcast suggests, it will be available on the 15th, wherever finer podcasts are sold.  Unless I make a fool of myself, then skip it. 

 

I think I have the e-mail thing worked out. Even though I turned off the Feedburner e-mails, they might still be going out, so if you get two different e-mails, my apologies, please bear with me until I get it all cleaned up. Most of you probably delete them or they go to spam anyway!  Until the next time,
