They caught my President using twisted words "stupidly" when describing an event which he was not a part or a witness to. It involved feelings and skin color. The event twisted when it happened, and became even more twisted afterwards. He needed a fallout shelter, but an apology would have done wonders- from either the President, Mr Gates, or his backers- to Sgt Crowley!
We must use caution with choices of color, as color is not as important to the seasoned smoker as taste. I love a dark oily maduro but am occasionally drawn to a tasty Natural or Habano or Corojo wrapper. Even combining and layering the wrappers in barber pole or double/triple wrapper style seems to be in vogue. I have heard that it is a bad sign when a maduro bleeds color to your fingers, as if some dye has been added to darken it. When one chews on a cigar, sometimes their experience is different than if they had smoked the cigar with dry lips. Variety is the spice of life, and from our experience with genetics we have found hybrids are frequently superior to pure bred lines in both plants and animals. Then there is always variations in between: the dark natural, the EMS wrapper, and the lighter maduros.
As per the cigar of choice to go with this event... I have chosen a "Commemorative" Arganese Churchill Chairman Double Wrap. It is a great cigar which has a Connecticut shade wrapper wrapped together with a Brazilian Maduro wrapper. The cigar actually came out in 2007, so again mine is well-aged. It comes in a nice red box, that coupled with the word "Chairman" reminds me of Chairman Mao - which reminds me of our President's Socialist leanings, and his mixed heritage.
I would say, despite the above diatribe, that the cigar is very tasty. Mine was sweet and hickory/woody at start up with a mild coco flavor throughout. The cigar lit easily but the burn tended to angulate (like our President), but corrected a bit 1/2 way through. The smoke was hearty and enjoyably filled the air. The woody flavors seemed to mellow but predominated the entire cigar. I would call it medium bodied, but smooth. The taste of the chewed cigar was also excellent. The construction was good, and avoided the dreaded "churchill sponginess".
