seven eight nine

Love these dates where the numbers role off my tongue. Kinda always think of Y2K. In terms of cigars, I think of the 898, the 5 Vegas, the 777, and the Illusione 888. Love cigars that have a date on the band or the box, which is especially handy when aging cigars. The Padron anniversarios (1926 0r 1964) are classics in whichever version one aspires to smoke. Rocky Patel's vintage 1990 and 1992 are terrific examples of the value a date can add to a cigar, as are the Padilla 1932, 1948, etc.

The dark black wrappered Jesus Fuego 777 line is a Medium to Full-bodied Nicaraguan puro using an ebony 4 year old maduro criollo wrapper from Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua, a corojo binder and a 50/50 split of corojo & criollo filler.They are handmade with pride by Tabacos, S.A.

My "Jesus" was a terrific smoke, and was very sweet to the taste. The reviews have mentioned chocolate, but mine was more of a cherry amaretto with only mildly chocolate. I could only taste that after I read the reviews. The light and burn were exemplary, and the construction and density were great. I mentioned this cigar in a previous post, but didn't comment on these things. The taste was consistent, with the exception of the amaretto tinge at the 2/3rds mark.

These cigars must be good as the arabs have even began collecting them...

since 9/11 (another important date) I am also scared of the Persians and Arabs owning airplanes...BO seems to want the Arabs and the Chinese to own America...Jesus save us all!
