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.
