P.S. I’ve seen a Scotch with a Japanese name at the liquor store, it’s called Yamazaki. Read this!

I guess this reply is for you, Alex.

This reply reminds me of the movie title “Lost in Translation”, where Bill Murray’s character visits Japan.

If Tanaka doesn’t mind, I’ll try my hand at translating what he’s trying to say. I think what he’s said must have been translated literally by one of those Spell Check grammar-type software programmes.

“If the draw of the cigar is ‘tight’, then why does it receive a 10 out of 10 for construction? The cigar flavours you mentioned in the review seem wonderful to me. Unfortunately, it’s much too expensive to smoke regularly.”

if it is cigar of the tight draw why it does recieve the 10 of 10 construction? as for the flavors of the cigar it has reviewed, it is wonderful it thinks. as for the often cigar, it is expensive too much perhaps.

Hello Alex,

Ah yes, one of my most favorite robustos on the planet, here it is, the consistent, distinctly tasting, and famous Cohiba Robusto!

Did I mention that this cigar pairs well with the smoky character of Lagavulin Scotch*? Try it one day, pour a wee dram and take a wee sip of Scotch at the beginning of the last third of the robusto. (And of course, if you have some smoked salmon lying about, the Scotch pairs well with that too.)
