In a game that was for the most part closely contested, and played quite clean and to a very high level, #7 seed Boston College took care of buisness against #10 seed Texas Tech 84-75. Lead by Tryese Rice (26 pts) and Sean Marchall (21 pts), with 19 pts from the ACC Player of the year Jared Dudley, the Eagles pulled away late. They advance to the second round to playe the winner of the #2 seed Georgetown #15 seed Belmont game. Here's rooting for an upset!
w00t!

Okay. The Bulls won on Tuesday. Big Whoop, frankly I couldn't care less. Also, they wore spiffy green and white jerseys, in honor of the impending St. Patrick's Day weekend, which is evidently a big deal in Chicago. No big deal. But in an unfortunate scheduling impasse, the team they played against in those spiffy green uniforms, was none other than the Boston Celtics, well known for their green and white color scheme and leprechaun logo. I understand that that might have been their only home game this week, but of all the teams to wear a green uni against. Bleg on you Chicago Bulls. HaHa.

There may be an interruption in your regularly scheduled blogging goodness this weekend, because I am going back home (to Massachusetts) to indulge the Callahan half of my family tree (yes, the family crest on the left, in this case), and celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I will try my best to cover some of the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and just might slip in one more cigar review, but I wanted to make sure that I got in a salutation before I left:
From Saint Patrick's Breastplate
Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Salvation is of the Lord.
Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!

Seems that my small cadre of readers is a loyal one. Awhile back I added my blog to the Fuel My Blog "Great Wall" and today just days after their re launch, the humble "Smoking Lounge" has been voted the third most popular Entertainment Blog, surely outscoring much more widely read blogs. I just wanted to thank all my loyal readers for their support. You guys make it all more than worthwhile.

A short review of this stogie. It has potential, but it is too damn big. The draw suffered, the burn was uneven, and it burned hot and bitter because it was a bit tight (overpacked?) to boot. I felt like I had to smoke the hell out of it to get any smoke and thats really kinda not cool. That said it had some nice tangy notes up front and might be a nice cigar if it wasn't so much work. I would like to try the 4.5" X 54 Novella, or especially the Gondola Torpedo before passing final judgement on this one. so far, unfortunate.
