The so-called Culebra cigar is the circus freak show of the cigar world. Three cigars impossibly twisted together, one big fat cigar band wrapped around them all and a little red ribbon tying them up at the head and foot. It’s a dumb idea … but if you ever get the chance to smoke one, it would be dumb to pass it up.
If you eat enough meals with enough people the in-between-bite topic will surely turn to what you like. “You like corn?” “Ya, Fritos Scoops mostly.” “Do you eat potatoes?” “The French fry is one of the four basic food groups.” “How about cheese?” “I eat anything that you can squirt from a can.”
Well, there was no suspenseful ending here. No halfcourt shot at the buzzer, no bases-loaded bottom-of-the-ninth drama, no ball sailing through the uprights as time expires, no unknown candy from some small town riding in on a licorice train to shock the candy world. No, this was an old-fashion ass-kicking; the big kid on the block pushing around a bunch of kindergarteners. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups has been crowned champion of the Best Candy Ever Tournament, and while there were some sweet performances by some unlikely treats, it wasn’t really very close.
