Beneath the Band: Trinidad Reyes
Goldeneye replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Absolutely love this cigar, but unfortunately i think i have enjoyed my last one and as I have none left and will not likely ever buy again. The price just isn't anywhere worth it anymore. Have replaced the Reyes with Sovereign Suns and AF Short Story, both of which I also think are great cigars. I do miss this little buggers though. -

1. Cigars taste very different at different times of day. Smoking in the morning / afternoon / after dinner can be quite different, and vastly different depending on what you’re pairing it with. 2. Check the draw and use a perfect draw if it’s tight (or pick another cigar) 3. Acclimatise with patience 4. Your opinion of a cigar is not wrong. (But bear in mind it’s important to acclimatise and store correctly) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beneath the Band: Trinidad Reyes

I like them a lot but maybe not enough to replace my current inventory when it runs out, given the price of Trinidad these days. -
Jimi. Clapton is a legend, and I have always loved his stuff, especially with Cream. Hendrix is just a different beast, though. He utilized the guitar in ways that astounded even Clapton, melding Blues with psychedelia in a way that sounded like his literal voice was coming through the guitar. More importantly to me, he lived to craft soundscapes in the studio, pushing the barriers of what rock music could be. His creativity and ingenuity dwarf that of so many others. Others did similarly, and here I’m thinking immediately of Jimmy Page, but perhaps not to the extent of “newness” that Hendrix did.

San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe, Por Larranaga Montecarlos, Montecristo No.5 and Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story. Ask me again in around four months time when it's actually winter in the the part of the world I live in! -
Jimi Hendrix, no question. Even Eric Clapton has been quoted as saying that Jimi was the greatest. Eric is No.2 and Jimmy Page is No.3 most influential guitarists of the 20th century. Funnily enough, if Jimi were alive today, and he was asked if he was the greatest guitarist, he'd say "no!". If Jimi were to be asked who was the greatest musician of his time, he'd say, "Bob Dylan" without even blinking an eyelid. One wouldn't think that Bob Dylan influenced Hendrix's music but there you go!
