Excerpt from the work-in-progress book (UCD).
My thoughts on the work-in-progress book (UCD).
Italics within definitions are recommendations to see that entry.
As you Gentlepersons hopefully know or are at the ::: very ::: least now FINALLY aware of under that rock of yours, I am constructing a Cigar Dictionary. A book. It is yet to have been named. Its working title is "Unnamed Cigar Dictionary" (UCD). I will change that "As soon as possible" (ASAP). Nevertheless, the idea of the whole thing, the game plan, is that I will blog the process of creating & assembling the UCD on a non-scheduled basis.
Included in these blog posts will be my italicized thoughts regarding said creating & assembling process--and as we get closer to it being a book proper, the process of that, as well. THESE WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE FINISHED BOOK. Please note that not everything, including the whole or part of definitions, will appear in the finished book.
To read other excerpts, search Unnamed Cigar Dictionary or UCD, in the Search Kaplowitz Media. field to the right of your screen. I need you Gentlepersons to get excited about this and not be able to wait to purchase it--whenever it finally is completed and available for said purchasing. NO TIMEFRAME.

An imbalanced though not wholly unkind simple offering. It is cloyingly sweet but Sweet is in the name. Undertones of suede get a tick salty-bitey aggressive but a spoonful of sugar (poured from the up-high) helps the medicine go down. "The medicine go down-wown. The medicine go down" A Mary POPpins the mouth? LOL (more-so a pawing jab). Decent construction/combustion. Nice enough room-note, aspects of which are somewhat akin to talcum powder fragrances.

Excerpt IX from the Kaplowitz Media. Unnamed Cigar Dictionary Project (UCD)
Cuban Sandwich [insert pork tenderloin joke here] LOL! But seriously, a Cuban Sandwich cigar is a Mixed Filler cigar of a certain and particular type. There is Long Filler involved and it is used to envelope (or sandwich) the Short Filler. At times the long-filler is placed at the Head end of the smoke. The result is a cigar that acts, in ways, premium–but sells for much less ham.
What ways? No small bits of leaf stuck in your pearly whites. Another is in how the ash displays and at times performs, in a sheath-like fashion.
Sweet Tip Some folks get awful creative with their own processes but at its true and rudimentary level, this is a cigar that has had its Head dipped into Arabic gum-sweetened water.
Talk about a seemingly easy definition that can send you flailing down a rabbit hole!

You also read a quick review of a cigar much in keeping with the given excerpts.
EDITOR'S NOTE: apologies for having originally referred to this cigar as 'Habano Sweets' prior to correcting. That was my Cuban street name in the late '90s and I got confused.
Disclaimer: I have never been to Cuba nor have had a street name.
