Name: Camacho Corojo Toro

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: (6 inches x 50)

Strength: Medium to Full

If you are looking for a cigar that tastes like a hardcore adventure, the Camacho Corojo Toro is probably the one you need to burn next. I lit one at a wedding, and I enjoyed it with Johnnie Walker Black Label, though, if I had the choice, I would have paired it with a smokier whisky.

It’s a spicy cigar, but coffee and nutty notes are also present.

A guy introduced himself to me shortly after I started smoking the Camacho Corojo. He asked what I was smoking. He said it smelled great but that it was an eye-catching stick, too. He was talking about the big, red Camacho band. A conversation followed. We talked about cigars until I had to remove the band to be able to continue smoking.

Eventually, the cigar found the ashtray, and it was time for me to dance.

I turn my back on the sun and light a cigar.
The sunset and the sea mean nothing to me.

I am overwhelmed with thoughts.
There’s always so much work to do,
always so much work left
for me to do.

It’s like my mind can never leave
the workplace.
My mind can never punch out.

I’m on standby all the time,
forever ready to receive an email
outside working hours.

No matter how efficient I am,
I will never accomplish enough
to deserve a good break.

I draw and blow white smoke
as businesses live and die.

Ghosts of CEOs and COOs slither out of my mouth,
and they all look like the man
in Edvard Munch’s The Scream.
They all look the same to me.

I want to scream, too,
but the neighbors may think I’m crazy.
So,
I turn my back on the sun and light a cigar.

Have a Cigar: AVO Regional North Edition Perfecto

Name: AVO Regional North Edition Perfecto

Country: Dominican Republic

Shape: Perfecto

Size: (6 5/8 inches x 50)

Strength: Medium

The AVO Regional North Edition Perfecto is a magnificent cigar, flavorsome and good-looking. Beautiful combustion, too. I got notes of cedar, black pepper, coffee, chocolate, hazelnut, and cinnamon…

I paired it with Glenfiddich 15, and the combination was very successful.

That night I partied under a clear night sky
in Deir al-Qamar.
With good friends, close friends, best friends.
We drank, we danced,
and we smoked.
And I had my lover in my arms.

It was a great night.
