The Moody Blues, c. 1970...
In other news... we could have put up a "Broadening" post, seein' as how we're smoking a new-to-me stick on this Happy Hour. The stick is a fat "My Uzi Weighs a Ton" robusto (srsly... see the cigar band illustration at right) and by "fat" I mean a 60 ring gauge... which is fat, indeed. The cigar is brilliant, the name much less so. I got this stick as part of a sampler which my good buddy Tim at cigar.com included in my latest shipment and I really, rilly enjoyed it. That said, I find the name to be sumthin' of an embarrassment. I'd hate to have to answer this question while burnin' one of these sticks, which might could go sumthin' like this:
Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,Ah, yes... Former Happy Days and all that. That was then and this is now; all that's similar is the fact we ARE sitting comfortably today, wrapped in the warm embrace of sweet memory and brilliant weather (it's 91 big-ass degrees, as we speak... with a gentle breeze).
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.

Q: What are ya smokin', Buck?Yeah... it's like that. It's a perfectly good... if not great... cigar, which is to say it's an almost perfectly balanced blend, good construction, and knock-yer-socks-off flavor. Too bad about the name.
A: Ummm... ahh... never mind. It's good, and let's just leave it at that.
Ah - the Moody Blues. One of my all-time faves and I'm embarrassed to say I forget about them! Must delve into it a bit this week while we are home; perhaps tune up Pandora to a Moody Blues station for the day trip to Maine we hope to make mid-week. Thanks for this great reminder Buck!
ReplyDeleteI have MB stations on both Pandora and meTunes Radio, the meTunes station is better. (Aiiieee! I said sumthin' good about Apple, AGAIN!)
