I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed the UF-13. But it was a decent smoke, nonetheless.

I paired it first with a glass of Aviation American Gin and then with a glass of Havana Club Barrel Proof on the rocks. Both went pretty well with it.

The plan was to spend some time alone at the lounge and read. The goal was to relax. But that didn’t happen because my wife and her friends joined me soon enough, and I had to teach them all how to smoke cigars. It was fun. We ended up at a bar drinking Belgian beer and planning a getaway.

It was my friend who chose this cigar.
“It’s a good one,” I told him after a few draws.
I smoked it until my fingers burned.

It was a good day, I remember.
We went to this nice restaurant
in Kfardebian.
There was me, my wife, my friend, and his wife.
We had a good meal —
Cold cuts, pork chops, duck magret, and fondue.
Pizza, too.
And two bottles of wine:
The first was Lebanese,
the second was French.

We laughed a good bunch,
talked a good bunch.
When they finally served the pain perdu,
it was already snowing,
and it was time for us to leave.

“It was a good one,” I told my friend
as I put the cigar in the ashtray
for it to die peacefully.
“Good stuff. Really good stuff.”

I paired the DBL 2nd Generation with a cappuccino, and I smoked it while reading Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

The book was much more satisfying than the cigar, but I enjoyed the cigar, too. It burned well and produced enough smoke to make me happy.

But I have to say that the DBL I smoked just a couple of days before I try this one was much better. I will surely smoke more Dominican Big Leaguer sticks in the coming months; however, I don’t think I’ll burn a DBL 2nd Generation stick again. It’s good but not that good. Extra Viejo sticks, on the other hand, I’ll smoke more of them for sure.
