Name: Leonardo Siglo.6
Country: Honduras
Shape: Parejo
Size: Toro (6 inches x 52)
Strength: Medium
The Leonardo Siglo.6 is a leathery cigar with notes of walnut and bitter cocoa. It has a firm draw but opens up after the first third.
Arabic coffee is what I paired it with at first before I switched to a blended Scotch whisky. I smoked it on and off. It went well with the cheese and bread I was having.
A casual cigar on a casual night.
Name: Puro Del Oro Petit Torpedo
Country: Nicaragua
Shape: Torpedo
Size: (5 inches x 64)
Strength: Medium to Full
Earthy, creamy with coffee notes, the Puro Del Oro Petit Torpedo is a decent budget cigar that you can enjoy while you read the news or a good book after a long day.
Good draw. Thick, cloudy smoke. Good burn, though a little uneven when my draws became a little sporadic. But that’s because I was drawn into the book I was reading.
The story I was reading while smoking was Nikolai Gogol’s “The Nose.” I found it to be funny and entertaining. Every now and then, however, words of wisdom suddenly surfaced. Here’s a quote from it:
But there is nothing enduring in this world, and that is why even joy is not as keen in the moment that follows the first; and a moment later it grows weaker still and finally merges imperceptibly into one’s usual state of mind, just as a ring on the water, made by the fall of a pebble, merges finally into the smooth surface.
from “The Nose” by Nikolai Gogol

I smoked this one when I was wasted. It was past midnight, but we had guests over. We were drinking whisky and wine, so I offered them cigars. Only one of them accepted, so I chose to light one as well… only so that he doesn’t smoke alone.
The guest picked a Cuban without thinking much about it, but I wasn’t so sure about what to smoke. I had already burned three cigars that day. I looked into the humidor, and a moment passed. I finally chose the Avo Regional South Edition. I had already tried the Avo Regional North Edition, and I had liked it.
All in all, it was a good cigar.
