Mr. Bijoy Writes

You should probably know, I smoke cigars and tell people what I like and don't like. This is my opinion. Take it as such, I don't pontificate as an expert, just as an enthusiast. To begin I should explain the lack of picture for this cigar. I forgot. I'll tell you what it looks like though! The band is at the foot, black with “5150” embossed in an old gold Gothic typeface. It's simple, and that's why I like it. On to the cigar. The Esteban Carreras 5150 is a Corojo wrapped in Ecuadorian grown Sumatra, with Nicaraguan fillers and binder. The overall construction is just a hair from amazing. A few spots along the cigar looked as if the wrapper wasn't just right. Appearance-wise, it was beautiful. A slight mottled color with a wrapper devoid of veins or bulges made the 5150 something that really looked, well, real. By that, I mean that it didn't look perfect, but that allowed for a very true to life, non-manufactured, non-gussied-up look, which I really...

Ok, so as some of you may know, I've changed how I'm doing things online. I've killed my company's twitter account and renamed it (@mrbijoywrites) to be an account that revolves around what this blog will hopefully turn into over the next few weeks/months. I spend a lot of my free time staying on top of new, cool things that happen in the world around me. The simple things make life worth living, but the finer/cooler/awesome things make living worth, well, living. I, in no way, am trying to push any sort of luxury-based blog on you. That's not me. I have no quantifiable reason to be stuck-up. Alright, I guess I'll tell you about what I intend to write about. I intend to keep the tagline you see up at the top of the page very much alive. I intend to write about whatever I want to write about that particular day. However, I intend to make it more about the fun stuff. For example, I intend to write about awesome people, nifty gadgets, beautiful places, fun events, ...

Yeah, I'm back. Whuddup. Ok, so I have another drink recipe for you! I know there have been quite a few of these lately, but I've been on the road and such! I promise something awesome soon! For now, have a Sloe Gin Fizz! 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1-1/2 ounce sloe gin (it's not hard to find, ask your local retailer!) 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (regular, non-powdered, is fine as well) tonic water Ok, so: Mix everything but the tonic water in a boston shaker until your arm hurts a little (please don't actually hurt your arm. Seriously, don't). Pour mixture into a ball glass and top it with tonic water. Garnish this sucker with a lime wedge and you're done. Easy, tasty, happy. Boom.

Sorry folks, I've been a bit busy and, therefore, unable to write. To add, I recently moved to a new apartment, leaving me with no internet for the better part of a week. Let me tell ya, that sucks! Trying to work from home without internet is like trying to make a gourmet meal with cardboard and ketchup. Not really gonna work. Regardless, I really do have a lot to catch up on and I have chosen, with no animosity, to wait a little longer before I compose a proper post for all of you. I hope things are going well for you and life is happy! Take care my friends!
