Blue Mountain Cigars



I should start this blog by giving a brief background on my introduction to Blue Mountain Cigars. One of the K.C. TobacPack, the Enforcer, brought one of the lines to a gathering.


As you can tell by the name, this company has an excellent marketing department.

In truth, this is an excellent Cigar and to my knowledge the only one of its kind  available.


This stick has three wrappers(thus the name, Threesome) and three different blends of tobacco, Connecticut with Jalapan fillers from Honduras and a Nicaraguan binder. The second is Ecuadorian Habano with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers and a Dominican binder. The last, is Mata Finz Maduro wrapper with secret binders and fillers.


The K.C. TobacPack long ago gave this stick the seal of approval and they are part of our regular smokes. To me the most unique thing about this stick is that you can tell when you change from one of the tobaccos to that other.


The other cigar from Blue Mountain that caught our eye was the Swinger. (Yes we also think there may be more than meets the eye going on)







Another great stick from Blue Mountain and it is also very new so not much background is yet available on this stick. What I can tell you is that it comes in two varieties the light wrapper and the dark wrapper. I have enjoyed the “After Dark” (the dark wrapper) and I have one of the light wrappers so more to follow on this.
 


So with this background I was perusing Facebook and found that a Blue Mountain Cigar Event was scheduled for that day at Cigar and Tobac so Central Patti and I decided to attend.





The event started with the owner of the company, Marvin Wright giving a brief, but informative presentation, on his company outlining several of the sticks. After a few questions from the patrons we all settled in for some great sticks and conversation.




Central Patti and I had the pleasure of Marvin’s company for a long while and discussed everything from Cuban history and politics to great cigars. Marvin is on a whirl wind tour of the U.S. visiting many different tobacco shops in route.

Marvin is a very intelligent individual and also most generous as we were presented with several different sticks as well as a Montecristo Number 8 from Cuba. I thought I had smoked a real Cuban prior to this day, but now I am thinking no. A real Cuban cigar has a very distinctive taste and smell you cannot forget. Marvin also had some "Jamaican Moonshine" (Jamaican Over-proof Rum) he shared that well all I can say is wow!

At this event we also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Cigar and Tobac, Lyn Beyer. Lyn is one of the most knowledgeable cigar and pipe aficionados I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Lyn is so passionate about his “hobby” as he calls it that he is always willing to take time to share his experience and ideas. In the short while I chatted with him I learned a lot about pipe smoking I intend to apply the next time I light up one of my pipes.

Central Patti and I received no less than 8 free sticks, not counting the ones we received for purchasing others and had great conversation with some great new friends.
Thanks to Cigar and Tobac for the great Blue Mountain event and to Marvin for chatting and sharing a great afternoon.

Cheers
The Professor

P.S. Do not tell the Enforcer and the KiDD, however I have a few sticks for them the next couple of Whiskey Wednesdays

A few weeks back we took the Amtrak from K.C. to Naperville Ill. and as usual we had a great time. If you have never taken the opportunity to travel by train you do not know what you are missing. I recommend for your first trip nothing over four hours just in case you may not enjoy train travel. Also this will keep the price at a minimum and I recommend choosing your travel dates that are not during the peek seasons. (From around June 15th to August 15th.) to avoid high ticket prices You will be pleasantly surprised by the size of the train cars and the size of the seats. The cars are two levels with the lower level where you put your luggage when boarding, handicap seating and the rest room/changing rooms. We generally sit in the club car (now called the observation car) where they have many booths and seats and then entire care is plexieglass so you can see the beautiful sites as you travel. You can even carry on your own food and drinks and yes this means you can carry on your own

A Spittoon and a Blanket

Yes, what I really meant was a chamber pot; however at one in the morning staging down the long dim hallway with the creaky wooden floors and facing the long stairway down to the bathroom spittoon was all I could think of. The evening started innocent enough as we were traversing the interstate from K.C. MO to NW Iowa for a visit. I did not have a drink until after 5:00 and I was not driving, but as usually I never went anywhere without my trusty ten shot flask. That day it was loaded with Buffalo Trace Bourbon. By the way it had been awhile since I had imbibed in Buffalo Trace and I had forgotten how good it was. We arrived at the farm and continued happy hour. As the night progressed I opened the new bottle of Four Roses (the official Bourbon of MySideOfTheBar) that Central Patti had purchased as part of a case and kept drinking throughout the night. As the night progressed and the bottle emptied we headed up the afore mentioned stairs and to bed. I woke a couple of hours later a

The Key West Cocktail Challenge

Image
Recently we were on the road with MySideOfTheBar in Key West with a couple of "Unusual Suspect" friends of ours. As you might expect we were in a bar when A.S. found a brochure for the Key West Cocktail Challenge. Also as you might expect we took up the challenge. The premise was easy, visit 6 participating bars, enjoy their signature cocktail and you get a T-Shirt. You can visit them in any order and take as long as you need to. (you could even do it in 6 days, but...) I am not going to try to describe each bar as you can follow the links to see and learn more. The first stop was The Green Parrot Bar . The Green Parrot is an open air old school bar that I absolutely loved. Their signature drink was Root Beer Barrel and at least two of us liked it ;) Stop two took us to Charlie Mac's and beside the great Signature Drink, it is also a BBQ joint. We only had the chicken wings, however they were awesome. The drink here was the Huckleberry Lemonade and I have to
