Name: Herrera Esteli Habano Robusto Extra

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: (5 1/4 inches x 52)

Strength: Medium

A nice, medium-bodied cigar to help me kickstart a Saturday night. I paired the first half with a vodka drink, and the second half with a blended Scotch. But I have a feeling this stick pairs better with coffee drinks.

–

Branding: Modest.

Construction: Good.

Pre-light: Fresh, natural.

Cut: Straight cut.

Burn: The burn was alright, although I had to fix it a couple of time.

Duration: 60 minutes.

Draw: It was a little too firm in the beginning, but it soon opened up.

Smoke: Good.

Ash: Good.

Flavor: Notes of wood, earth, and tiny hints of pepper.

February 4, 2023: People Try to Fix You

People try to fix you
as if you’re broken
or as if you have been doing things wrong
all your life.

They tell you, “You don’t understand.
Let me show you how it’s done.”
And you let them.
You stay calm and let them
teach you whatever it is they want to teach you.

People try to fix you
and expect you to be fixed the next time they see you.
But they don’t understand that they can never change you
because they are the ones who need to change.

They try to fix you
only because they are broken,
and you don’t have the courage or the time
to tell them that they are.
