Yesterday, I got a craving for a Mataloto. Delved into the long term storage chest and dug out a box stashed January 2017. A Spanish cedar box with a clasp, sealed under two layers cling-wrap. I had zero memory what these gars looked like. Check it out:
(no, I don't know how that photo got inverted when I cropped it.)
It's good to unearth something you rolled two years ago. These were torqued mighty rustic by present standards. I remember that Habano 2000 wrapper. Smelled great, but would not burn. The binder was a mystery leaf. The filler was, of course, Mata Fina from Brazil and Piloto Cubano, prolly from the DR. The label was a design I stole from off the web. The mold I used for these perfectos was more slender than the more opulent plumpfecto mold that I use now. But the aroma after two years of stewing in the chest: Holy Crappanoli! What a snurf!
You can see one is missing from the box. That's cause I had to burn this one:
That H2K wrapper burns way the hell better now than when I salted it away. On the way back from the post office, I stopped by the sub shop. Set the gar in the rest, walked across the lot, put in my order, waited for lunch to be made, trundled back out, maybe ten minutes later, and hit the gar for a full on mouthful. It was like I had just set it down two secs ago. Amazing.
Damn good gar. Had to set outside and make a couple phone calls just so I could enjoy it to the nub.
Old Ford Ranger has developed noisy lifters at start up in cold weather. Prolly not long for this world. But a great place to spark a gar, ya know. And the overhead is so torn up you really don't worry about stinkin it up. That's the junker advantage.
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
