Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic Corona Especial 1977

5.5" X 38, Corojo 99 Wrapper

I have already written review of the robusto cigar in this line. With bold notes of spice (black pepper), wood, leather and tobacco, this cigar does not vary much from he other cigar I reviewed. Which is to say, it was quite good! What I want to talk about in regards to this particular cigar is the size and shape of it. Long and thin, it really cuts a striking image as you smoke it. Upon lighting I was worried there would be burn an draw problems. It seems thin cigars have these problems more often than their thicker brethren. This is not the case at all with this particular vitola. This cigar burned beautifully, producing billows of round white cool smoke. Also this cigar burned for a good, long time, more than an hour in my case. The overall result was a very distinguished smoking experience. It may not be a size you normally smoke, but I suggest trying it.

Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Jayne Milano (born December 19, 1972) is an American actress. She is best known for her roles in the sitcom Who's the Boss? and on the supernatural series Charmed.

Alyssa Milano was born in Brooklyn, New York to Italian parents Tom (a music editor) and Lin Milano (a fashion designer). She has a younger brother, Cory (born 1982), who is also an actor. She and Cory grew up on Staten Island. She began her career at the age of eight when she won a part in an open audition for a national tour of Annie. She appeared in television commercials and off-Broadway productions. At the age of 11, she earned her first major role in the television program Who's the Boss?, alongside Tony Danza, Judith Light, Danny Pintauro and Katherine Helmond. She starred as Samantha Micelli, the daughter of Danza's character, Tony Micelli. When Alyssa won the role, her family relocated from Staten Island to Hollywood. Alyssa produced a teen workout video in 1988 called Teen Steam. Alyssa also appeared in the Josie music video by blink-182.

At the beginning of her career, Milano was known mainly for her role as Samantha Micelli on Who's the Boss? (1984-1992). She tried to shed her "nice girl" image by appearing in several films targeted at adults, such as Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story (1992), Embrace of the Vampire (1994), Confessions of Sorority Girls (1994), Deadly Sins (1995), and Poison Ivy II: Lily (1995), where she starred opposite Johnathon Schaech and Xander Berkley. She gained more mainstream success in TV as Jennifer Mancini on Melrose Place (1997-1998), Meg Winston in Spin City and most notably as Phoebe Halliwell on Charmed (1998-2006). Both Milano and Holly Marie Combs became producers for Charmed during the show's fifth season. Milano played the role of Eva Savealot in MCI's 1-800-COLLECT commercials.

On stage, she starred in Tender Offer, a one-act play written by Wendy Wasserstein, All Night Long, and the first American musical adaptation of Jane Eyre. She returned to her theater roots in 1991, when she starred in and produced a Los Angeles production of Butterflies Are Free.

In 2007, Milano began appearing on television commercials for the shaving cream "Veet".

8 random facts about ColbyPants

Well that little punkass f00 (I mean it in the nicest way possible) Princesse Ecossaise insisted I do this, and so here it goes:

1) My online tag name is derived from a dog I had when I was with my ex-wife, named Colby, who along with my other dog Murphy, I still miss terribly several years later. No, at no time did he ever wear pants.

2) Unlike the Princesse, I adore meat. Not because I have some special hate for animals (actually quite the opposite, I have been known to support the local ASPCA, or Humane Society), but I have to say that a nice juicy Porterhouse Steak (rare) with onions & mushrooms is one of the finest things a person can experience.

3) Up until my divorce, I was a hard core anti smoking Nazi. If you are at this site reading this post, you know why this is hysterical.

4) I am horribly claustrophobic. I am convinced this is why I failed Spanish repeatedly in HS, and history on college (anxiety from being in classrooms with no windows). The weird part is that I never had this issue as a kid (loved hide and seek, loved exploring caves) it came as I got older.

5) I pride myself on being open-minded, but know deep in my heart I could never be in a relationship with a New York Yankee Fan. (though I don't have to worry about that anymore cause I have a lovely girl who roots for the Indians!).

6) I got to meet Allen Ginsberg when I was in 9th grade, who was probably the coolest well known person I ever met. He read my favorite poem of his that night at the reading that followed just because I asked. Too Cool.

7) I read all the Baby Sitters Club books as a kid. Yep. Me. Heh.

8) I like International Soccer more than American Football. Shhh. don't tell anyone!
