Gents (and Ladies),

I recently bought a box of Gurkha's Cuban Legacy from ccom and thought I'd sample one in the Man Room this afternoon. I built the Man Room as a place where my buddies and I could play cards, drink whiskey and smoke cigars without getting a ration from my lovely wife. It's a little 500 square foot apartment inside my shop building with a full kitchen and bath, so it doubles as a guest house when we have visitors. It's not like I have any money, but I was fortunate during the housing boom, and the Man Room is one of those things that I was able to acquire before the home building bust and my subsequent bankruptcy.

But I digress. Oh yeah, the Cuban Legacy. It's a very inexpensive smoke (did I mention I was bankrupt?) but at the same time, very enjoyable. I don't normally take time out during the day to enjoy a cigar, but it's raining and sleeting today in northern Arkansas and I felt like getting off the computer for a while and just chilling. Besides, I was depressed from the rejection this morning from what I thought would be a new online client. Anyhoo, I grabbed the stogie and dragged my sorry ass into the Man Room. Turned up the heat, picked up Reagan, In His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan and fired up my new low-grade Gurkha.

Surprise! Gobs and gobs of blustery smoke! A very easy draw, an even burn, and flavor galore. After forty five minutes I felt great! I've always known the therapeutic value of cigars, but it was particularly pronounced this afternoon. So much so that I do believe I'll have to try it again tomorrow, as we're expecting more sleet and rain. (Damn that Al Gore and his Global Warming!)

Folks, you could do much worse than Cuban Legacy. It's no Padron 1926, but at the price, it's a steal. Thanks, ccom!

Dude! Another Arkansas brother. Not too many around here man. Where are you at?

Mountain Home is where I reside, my friend. God's country. We're about 5 miles out of town on Highway 201 South.

Hiya pal, killer review and a big welcome from a Salty BOTL!! WELCOME!!

You seem to understand very well the reason we're all here, no matter what the cost, and no matter how bad life is, a cigar is always a cigar and brother/sister of the leaf will be right here with ya. Bogus about the bankruptcy, the other guy I work with had to go through that, keep your chin up and have another cigar!!

Yes, I really do work from home building E-Learning Websites!

lol, I'm from Mountain Home too, born and raised. I'm in fayetteville now, at the UofA. I'm a geneticist here working on another degree.

Nice review and welcome to the forums! Good to have you with us.

My favs are in my bio! You should do the same!

Every time you call in on your Ccom order, I suggest saying "All Hail the Beard" before you hang up. It's like a secret handshake.

Welcome aboard. I have a few Ghurkas I got on a ccom sampler and I've only smoked a couple and they been pretty good for the price.

Welcome to the forum. Great story. I wish I had a "Man Cave"......... but I DO have plenty of Cuban Legacys. I just got them and have yet to dig in. Your story is makin my mouth water with anticipation. I'll have to fire one up tonight.

Dude, I love your avatar!

If things don't get better I might be trading the Man Room for a Man Cave, LOL! Just kidding, things are starting to look up. I just got back from the Man Room after a nice long session with a honkin' Nica Libre, another budget stick, but very flavorful. It's been in the humi for about two months at 65-70%, but it still seemed a tad dry. It made up for itself by the copious amount of billowy white smoke it produced. It seemed to hit the sweet spot after only about an inch into it (it was Churchill size). My dog, Inky and I, (hey she was named by my daughter so don't give me any sh*t for the name...) thoroughly enjoyed the time away from the house. We spent the better part of an hour looking through old books. Mindless waste of time... something I plan to do more of.

Just ordered a box of Nub 460 Cammies and can't wait to get them. I've tried a few of their other cigars, but never the Cameroon. Those babies are deceiving. As good a cigar as you'll find anywhere and they have great staying power. They're easily a 45 minute jaunt down Tobacco Road. Yummy!

Enjoy, brothers! (You too, Sis)

Peace, out.

Good luck in your studies. We could use a few more good geneticists. I guess. Maybe. Just what the hell does a geneticist do, anyway? lol...

Be sure to leave some time between classes and homework for the really  important stuff. Like cigars.

Right now I'm working on developing a breed of cattle that can tolerate common fescue. It's a pretty cool process that, if it pays off...would really pay off...literally. And don't worry, I just roofed my deck so I can have a permanent place to smoke, rain or shine. I make plenty of time for the important things.

I wish we had a roofed deck around here for smoking. Lately it's been rainy and snowing. Twice now I've had to smoke cigars under the cover of an IDF bunker to get out of the rain. It's not so bad I guess...I'm still able to smoke cigars. I didn't know cattle couldn't tolerate fescue. That's interesting.
