La Flor Dominica
Tonight, I tried my first La Flor Dominica Cigar. A short one that cost me about 5 dollars and change. a 9 out of 10. Maybe a 9.4. This one tasted like... get this.... apples and honey. Really. It was quite stong and in fact, I found myself salivating more than I have ever salivated with any cigar before with this one.

Happy Thanksgiving
Well, we had a very nice thanksgiving dinner. Me, my mother and my father this year! My brother called us from Hong Kong. I have not spoken with my sister yet, but I was told she called and is having dinner at some chefs house in Denver with her seeming lifelong friend.
As for me, I went outside and smoked a nice A Fuente Cigar a while after dinner. This one was a small 5 inch long cigar with a larger core. It came wrapped in a cedar shell with a black ribbon on the end of it. I was pleasantly surprised... a 9 of 10. It was mild and smooth and actually had a difficult draw on it. It lasted a good 30 minutes or so.

Paging Ayn Rand
I must say that I read a few of Ayn Rands books in the past. Anthem and most of Atlas Shrugged. I got 400 pages into Atlas Shrugged and then put it down. I never picked it back up and it sat on my shelf for a good 8 years or more. I eventually placed the dilapidated book in the trashcan and said "No more". I have this to say about Ayn Rand:
My friend suggests that Ayn Rand tells us that Thanksgiving is a holiday where we celebrate our abundance and discusses that Thanksgiving is a holiday whereby we Thank G-d for our good harvest....
In reply, I wrote:
Ayn Rand blesses us with abundance. Too many pages in Atlas Shrugged I say. It lost my eyes about 400 pages in :)
Ayn Rand is about as religious as a chainsaw in the fishbowl of life.
Ayn Rand makes me think of sports cars that dont like to be placed in Park. She is about as funny as a whale in the bermuda triangle's Boat Salvage Department. I think Ayn mastered the art of writing novels with a Question that persists for so long (who is John Galt) that you really dont care who he is anymore!.
Ayn Rand deems it necessary to say Grace before you park your car and after you drive a Semi Truck. She likes to eat rose bushes that smell like petunias. I did like Ayn and enjoyed a few moments reading her novels. But that was about as many pages as I could do!
So enjoy your Thanksgiving. Think of Ayn when you do your taxes!!!!!!!

Cut to the chase
Explanation why I have 4 main active blogs and 2 others that to date I am yet to blog upon:
I realize that many might view my conscription of 4 major blogs as peculiar and in fact, perhaps unwise. I decided that at the beginning of my blogging experience, I would not be served well by posting all of my content in one single blog. I have a medical blog (CraigJasonBrennerMD.blogspot.com) that I may in fact use to some capacity for medical endeavors. I regard the Sir Henry's blog as my side door... the Sir Walter's Backgammon Table as my back door... The Heresy and Good Fortune blog as my attic and the Tulip Patrol Blog as my front yard. By visiting each of these, you may glimmer a better look upon the house that I have constructed here in cyberspace. Thanks for being interested and willing to visit more than one venue of interest. Of course, you can always find links to the various blogs on the right side of the blog under the "About me" column.

More Cigar Mayhem
Today I had a Brick House cigar. A smaller one, small in diameter, but about 7 inches in length. This one I will report tasted like Orange Peels in Paradise. It was really good. I rate it a 9/10. Thats pretty good. I am yet to try one that is a 10/10. And this one was very affordable. I must say I have never smoked a Cuban Cigar, nor will I until it is LEGAL for a US CITIZEN to do so. No, I do not plan to have one unless the is a change in the embargo. Even if I am in Canada or another land where it is legal to sell them. Being that my income comes from the USA, I will continue the embargo personally as well until the time it is no more.
I also had a few cheaper cigars yesterday. One was a "factory reject", the factory which I can not recall the name. It was really not bad at all considering it was only 1.25 $. I report that it tasted like gemstones in a mirror. A good taste that I would rate to be 6/10. I bought a few. I also found some under the brand name "honduran special" or somthing like that. They did not have a band on them to ID them, only the crate in which they came. This one I smoked and tasted like gumdrops in a windmill. Not great, but definately for about 2 dollars and about 80 cents a smoke worth considering. I rate it abotu a 6/10 as well. For the most part, the cigars I've had from the smoke store all rate at least a 5-6 in my opinion. I do have 2 really cheap cigars that someone gave me waiting to be smoked. They I am guessing will rate a 2-3/10. Black and mild I think is their monicker. I would say that if you want a smoke that burns under 6 minutes its a good one to give a go.
I did have another Brickhouse cigar some time ago which was larger in diameter and did not taste as good as this one.. Still it was an 8/10. I will report its taste the next time I smoke one. :). Enjoy!

Talk of the burning cigar
To add more to my cigar blog.... I like the Oliva brand... They are mild and taste like Bricks in Paris... I really like the squared appearance. I just tried a new one tonight. Called La Traviata. It tasted like a steak knife factory. Not mild. Very bitter. I still have to mention that the cheap one I enjoy called Quorum tastes like paint on a sidewalk. (the torpedo shaped one). I tried a Davidoff cigar which the proprietor reports are the best and most expensive. This one was a small half cigar that cost me about 10.95. It tasted like cheese in an aircraft hanger. Not bad. Definately a mild smooth cigar... A bit too pricey for my current range.

Cigar Aficionado
Tried my first Davidoff cigar tonight. This one was a small one so only about 10.95$. It tasted like cheese in a Airplane Hanger. Pretty good. Very mild. Not going to be my first choice. But worthwhile.

A good cigar has a flavor uniquely its own
I bought a new cigar this week. It tasted like trees in a baseball diamond. Another one I enjoy quite often due to its $2.40 cost is one called Quorum which tastes like paint on the sidewalk. I recently tried one that tasted like bricks in Paris as well as one that tasted like paste in a chocolate factory. Cigars are pretty good.

Finding a good marble to add to your collection
I just decided to start collecting marbles. This is good fortune for sure. I bought some on ebay and then bought some nice new ones from a web page. They are quite fun at any age. I have found that I can name them whatever I want depending on their design. No person should be without a small marble collection right? If they say you've "lost your marbles" better to have a few around to say that is not so!

Bringing a dime to a candy store and asking for minestrone soup
Well, I went out to a bar this evening. Not my regular schedule but I think I'm going to add it on once in a while now. Found a sports bar in my vicinity, about 6 minutes from home. They serve bud light for $1.25 a few days a week. Not bad. I have about a 2-3 drink maximum as I drive home after an hour or so.
Its a good fortune to speak to anyone else on this planet, no matter what their ideas are about life. I dont expect a great crowd of scholarly peopel in the bars, but you never know. One guy talked about the civil war and another about Cigars. I met a fellow who graduated 3 years behind me in high school. Not a bad hour. I was reading this book called the Whiskey Rebels (David Liss). It motivated me to buy some whiskey and visit a few places of leisure activity.

WorldWars
World War III has been fought and won by America. It was the battle of sinister thoughts against Justice and Peace. This was the era of John F. Kennedy. He prooved to the world that Cuba would never dominate Western Policy. And this is a world war because the entire globe lived in fear during the Bay of Pigs invasion
World War IV is the war of Truth Temperance and Tolerance. We will win when the world wakes up and breathes fresh air after reading books about life the universe and everything!
I bought the composite Douglas Adams book today. Looks and feels like a bible. Fake leather embossed finish. A nice addition to my book case when I want to enjoy the sense of humor of sledgehammers and crowns! Douglas Adams was an excellent humorist and a great writer! Thanks to Todd Bendis for introducing us when we were in about 6th grade!
World War I was the battle of Reason vs. Insanity. Reason won out. World War II was the battle of Humanity vs inhumanity. You know who won the day!
32 minutes ago · LikeUnlike.Craig Brenner WWI was reason vs insanity because the shooting an Archduke should not ignite war across the globe and in fact that did it. This means that insanity wanted to live next to the African Steak House (someone wanted more wealth and prominence). That did not happen and the War ended in an armistice that invoked the powers of ingratitude among those who hate freedom!
World War IV is going on right now. Keep reading and you'll defeat the evil. World war V is going on as well. WWV is the war of insincerity vs sincerity. This is fought with publishing more books and educating the world. I have a good feeling I know who will win.
What is terrifying is World War VI. This is what will be fought with nuclear weapons. It's in my prediction the war of arrogance vs friendship. A nation wishes to exercise its right to destroy and harm another. The nations are formed today. Today the game is about global friendship and I think in the face of destruction, friendship can endure. Let us all hope that arrogance never sees the light of fire and destruction. North Korea and Iran must be contained in our times!
The war on terror is not a world war. Its a war of embarrassment versus humanity. And that's not a world war. Its just a disturbance in the breath of humanity!
