hmm...
well this one went down like the last few red cloud tastings, which IMO kinda sucks.
First, La Unica is doing this "tour" to release the new #600 cigar. You would think that at a tasting they would have the feature cigar, featured...
Also Red Cloud used to have freebies, you got at least one cigar FREE. The last few tastings they've had this buy 3 cigars get 2 free, that's not really free in the spirit of things and under the pretenses of what I signed up for.
But I did not become a member for a free cigar every now and then, but I just don't like being mislead.
The highlights of the evening were the funky reviews by some regular botl's at red cloud, I placed the taste of tobacco, but dirty dusty kinda toasty, in chimes the group, "Like a cigarette?"... exactly. And after leaving, we smelled more like a casino than our regular tolerable fine tobacco stench.
A nice DCM humidor was prized as was a couple boxes of La Unica's.
And seeing a grown man get giddy like a schoolboy as I handed him a gift bagged bottle of EOS port with a couple sticks hidden in the tissue paper.
All in all the event was typical, was hoping for a little something different as I knew the sticks probably wouldn't be all that great.
The maduro robusto I had didn't seem all that bad, but I was already a few drinks in by then, the wrapper portion reminded me of an Ancient Warrior, the filler/binder seemed similar to the other Unic's.
