Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real, Tanzania Benefit Show

Tonight this cigar changed me. Just about. It was thick and so great. I don’t yet have the smoker’s vocabulary to describe exactly how it tasted (i.e. “hints of robust dark flavor”), but it was great.  That’s all.

It did just about end me, however. I was smoking this tasty cigar at the wonderful Edwards Pipe Tobacco in Fort Collins with my buddy Philip Waggoner (I’m sure you will hear about him a lot in this blog, he’s a good man), when Phil asked me something. I had a mouth full of smoke at the time and carelessly inhaled to say a few words to Phil that I soon forgot. I basically swallowed a liter of smoke and just about died right there in that black leather chair. I’ve been smoking pipe tobacco and cigars as a neat little hobby since Sean got me into it at a Cameron At Bay show in Canon City on new year’s about a year and a half ago. In my whole career of casual smoking, I have never had such a blunder. The whole store was laughing at me. But hey, you learn from stuff like that. Schwhatever.

Right now I’m about ready to sleep until who knows when. Jared Anderson from Desperation Band is playing a benefit concert tomorrow night at my church up here and I’m way pumped for it. My dear friend Ashley has been planning this concert to help her missions team go to Africa in about a month with the MILL, and we’re all pretty excited about it. I’ll probably blog about it later tonight afterwards.

Gotta throw out a thanks to my boy Seanster for getting me started with this whole blogging thing. I already really enjoy it!
