Is it still exercise if...

[Loudpipes78]

........ you're while doing it?


Took a nice mile and a half walk tonight with the pup while enjoying a Rocky Patel Connecticut. I need to get back in the gym and doing cardio but after a very rough day of paintball on Sunday my knee and quads just weren't ready for the Eliptical and heavey cardio. I had a shit ass day at work making the 2nd in a row and I wanted to unwind so I thought a walk would be at least some exercise and since I'm not blonde I figured I could get smoke in at the same time (since I've been craving one, maybe that has to do with posting here so much.)

It's the first time I've ever tried a RP CT. and it was great other than one small downfall. I don't know what it was or if there is a term for it but when I cut the cigar I noticed a small vein in it, not like the vein on the leaf on the outside. It looks like somebody took a coffee stirrer (mini straw type) and cut a small piece off and shoved it in the foot.

I have never seen anything like it, I'm not sure if a piece of the wrapper scrap got rolled in or what but it made for the most uneven smoke ever. From the get go it was lopsided, I attempted to save it but had no success because the hole/tube/vein thing ran further up the cigar than I thought. Along with the uneveness it burned pretty rapidly. I slowed it a bit by trying to bite down harder and pinch it off but had minimal success.

Now about the smoke... it was great... this could edge out the RyJ that I normally smoke for a standard here and there cigar. It was mild but still had a lot of taste (a lot more than I expected) and some decent spice for a "lighter" cigar. The only downside to all the taste/spice was it left me with quite a bit of bitter aftertaste which I really wasn't expecting. I can't wait to try another one of these that isn't flawed and see how it goes. I know it will be a much more even burn and hopefully a lil' slower too.
