I felt like smoking something new, so I chose the Meluha. It’s a brand that I don’t know a lot about. In fact, I had never heard of the brand before last week.

When I was out buying cigars to refill my humidor, after letting me pick a few familiar ones, the guy at the shop asked, “Have you tried the Meluha before?”

I answered, “No. Is it any good?”

He nodded his head, grinned, and he said, “Well, you’re in for a treat.”

He showed me three vitolas to choose from, and I chose one.

“You’re really going to like this one,” he added. “It’s very aromatic.”

“Thanks,” I said. “I’ll let you know if I like it.”

If he were here right now, I’d tell him that it’s a pretty good cigar. I’m glad I tried it.
