A masterfully crafted, good-looking, box-pressed, Nicaraguan cigar. Out of a friend’s humidor. I knew it was going to be something special even before I took it out of the cellophane. It had a perfect draw, and it produced a lot of thick, creamy smoke. I paired it with whisky after a heavy meal and got notes of dark chocolate, earth, espresso, prunes, and wood.

It was a good night filled with laughter, drinks, great conversations, and clouds of excellent smoke.
