My Uzi(el) Weighs a Ton

Rock - get up - get down,
Miuzi weighs a ton!










No...no...that's not it.
 

My Uzi Weighs a Ton - a most excellent edition to Drew Estate's Subculture Studio. This joint
project with Joya de Nicaragua is medium to full in body, and boasts a husky series of 60-ring vitolas booming with flavor. Dark and oily San Andres maduro wrappers conceal a hefty dose of Nicaraguan and Brazilian long-fillers secured by a smooth Connecticut 'Capote' binder. The smoke is hearty and rich, unveiling a deep series of bold yet balanced flavors from start to finish. Layered with complexity - earth, leather, pepper, sweetness, cocoa - the massive 60-ring frame is the ultimate vehicle to savor each of these complex intricacies throughout the slow and cool burn.
 
Good Cigar....but that's not it either....
 
Based on the original prototype of the Uziel, the 2S carries a pair of PPCs as its primary weapons for long range combat. A SRM-6 launcher provides close combat capabilities and a pair of Machine Guns provide anti-infantry capabilities. A Beagle Active Probe allows the 'Mech to detect hidden units and protects the Uziel from ambushes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The rounded shoulders and cockpit came from Scott at the Messy Desk.  I cleaned them up a bit and am in the process of heavily modding the shoulders but it was a great jump-start.  Not pictured are the lower legs, foot/toe prototypes, and the shoulders/arms.

One of the best mechs ever made. Looks very promising indeed! Dig the Public Enemy and Stogie references, too!

Oh...and if you would, tell Scott to price that Atlas out. I want one, Damn it! An Uzi and an Atlas would form the basis for a fine inner sphere lance...
