Cigar of the Month - October: Litto Gomez Chisel Puro

The cigar of the month feature will appear every month here at the Cigar Kennel. It's not necessarily the best cigar I’ve smoked in the last four weeks, it’s just one that I’ve smoked recently and think is worth smoking.



This month it’s the Litto Gomez Chisel Puro. With the exception of the Tatauajes, this is the best smoke I’ve had lately! This cigar's shape is what attracts me to it to start. The head is shaped like a chisel (hence the name) and the wipe taper fits perfectly in your jaw line. This smoke is also made from all-Dominican tobaccos, which is why it sports the “puro” name. It has what you’d expect in a Dominican puro: that cinnamony-raisiny-spicey-goodness that you find in an Opus X, La Aurora 100 Anos, or a Davidoff 2007 Limited Dominican Puro. This baby is strong right off the bat. It’s got more firepower than the Pacman Jones' posse at a strip club! I once described this cigar to Litto himself as “an Opus with Balls”. He seemed to approve of the description. They’re not cheap, but these babies are chalked full of flavor and spice. They’re pretty smooth, too – not at all harsh and they don’t have a rough finish. Try one

In other news: I’m getting sick of the sports going down in the New England area. The Chowds are bad enough as it is, and now it looks as though we’re only hours away from the BoSox taking home they’re 2nd World Series in 4 years. Hell, for that matter, we’re probably only 3 months away from the Patriots winning their 4th Super Bowl (although I pray Peyton & Co. will take those bastards down both next week and in the post season)! And then to top it all off, we have to watch Boston College pull out a lucky win against an over-ranked VaTech team and remain No. 2 in the polls. I don’t see them dropping too far even if they do loose – with Notre Dame doing a worse job than a Doctor operating on Charlie Wies every Catholic sportswriter in America is gonna be tossing Jesuit love to B.C.!

At least it looks as though KU and MU are headed to a showdown for the North in K.C. As much as I wanted to see KU loose to A&M, as long as Mizzou keeps winning, I have no problem with KU winning as well. There will be no better feeling than sending KU off that field at Arrowhead as losers, going home to watch MU square off in a rematch with Oklahoma the following week.



Well, Kiddos, that’s all for now. Remember to grab a LG Chisel Puro – and save it as a victory cigar for a month from now when the Black and Gold are crowned Big 12 North Champions! Oh - and if you want to see New England in a good light, I suggest seeing "Dan in Real Life". It was a really good flick! Ciao Turds…
