It was a sunny November morning, and I didn’t want to waste it.
The sea was a dark blue satin bedsheet; the cargo ships stretched and slept on it like newborn babies.
The clouds in the turquoise sky were few, white, and friendly — like floating daydreams.
The fresh air glided into my lungs and filled me with tranquility.
I opened my humidor to choose the cigar of the day.
The robusto vitola seemed right for the occasion.
I paired the cigar with homemade cappuccino and Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.
It was a morning well spent.
Only I have no luck any more. But who knows? Maybe today. Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.
From Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea

This Avo cigar is pretty smooth. I like it. I’m smoking it on the terrace late in the evening.
It’s medium-bodied and easy to smoke. But it doesn’t lack complexity. It’s flavorful with hints of milky chocolate, cedar, and toffee. Some buttery and vegetal notes can also be detected. It has a great draw and its smoke is thick and creamy.
Good stuff.
