Smoking the first third of this cigar was a little confusing. I got bitter, nutty notes from it. But I grew to like it. The second third was less bitter, and it came with hints of coffee, hazelnut, and leather. Overall, I liked it. It’s a good-looking cigar, and I wouldn’t mind lighting up another one.

When you start pairing cigars with wines,
remind yourself that you’re in a very good place.
Be proud.
You’ve come a long way, and it’s your hard work
and discipline
that got you here.
You owe nothing to nobody.
Bravo.
Don’t postpone the celebration.
You are in good health,
surrounded by loved ones,
and the sun is shining like there will never
be a cloudy day again.
Don’t wait.
Come on!
Celebrate.
Smoke a good cigar.
Drink a little more than usual.
Laugh a little louder.
Own it.

There is a type of cigar that I call the “just in case” cigar. The “just in case” cigar is the one you keep in your car or in the inside pocket of your jacket just in case you suddenly find an opportunity to light an ‘unplanned’ cigar.
Unplanned cigars are the most gratifying. When you light one, the world instantly becomes a better place. You will understand that life will occasionally reward you simply because you survived another day. And that’s a good thing. That’s a very good thing.
