Hamlet Paredes Customer Rolled Salamones

[adic88]

When I met Hamlet Paredes on the shores of Malaysia nearly 8 years ago, i came away with two fistful of cigars that i’ve been hoarding for extremely special occasions. I’ve smoked most of those cigars already, including a special corona gorda that still holds the record for being My Cigar Blog’s strongest ever cigar. It’s been 6 years since i smoked that cigar, and i still remember how i nearly passed out from its intense power and body.

It has been a few since my last Hamlet custom rolled cigar. But something wonderful happened at work last Friday that prompted me to reach down for one of my remaining three sticks: i was interviewed by the CEO for a special assignment, and i think i nailed it with aplomb. Whether or not i get the job is not important, but i felt that my performance was spot on, and deserving a special treat.

Have u ever tried Hamlet Flying Pig tails? I tried it last night and it was the worst blend ever...

Nope can't say that i have tried those. Short and stumpy vitola isn't it?

You should copy and paste your review here, it is a bit annoying having to click on a link to go somewhere else

Congratulations on your interview!

Cheers,

I don't mind an ugly cigar if it comes to me through a story like that. It's all about the flavour.

Having tried to roll a few cigars, I'd say that's a pretty amazing looking salomon, given that it was a one-off.
