Name: Avo Heritage Special Toro
Country: Dominican Republic
Shape: Parejo
Size: Gordo (6 inches x 60)
Strength: Medium to Full
The Avo Heritage line has made a good impression on me. The robusto vitola is what I usually go for. This time, however, I chose the 6×60 stick because I knew I’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors.
To be sure, the Avo Heritage Special Toro wasn’t the only cigar I smoked that day, but it was the cigar that I enjoyed most.
Woke up wanting
to become a new man
again.
The birds were singing,
mockingly tweeting
while fragments of pointless conversations
and choruses from the night before
ricocheted in my head.
Memories blown to shreds.
Everything fleeting
except regret.
Thoughts – whirlwinds
in my crumbling mind! –
were like propelled balls
in a pinball machine.
I was crying, “God…
Was I playing
beer pong?
I was. I kept on playing
beer pong,
losing almost every game.”
The birds were singing,
“He must become a new,
new man.
The man he is now
is self-destructing.”
Name: Rocky Patel Aged Limited Rare Second Edition Toro
Country: Nicaragua
Shape: Box-Pressed
Size: (6 1/2 inches x 52)
Strength: Medium
Finally got the chance to smoke this Rocky Patel, which is listed as Cigar Aficionado’s number 5 cigar of 2019. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe this is also the first Rocky Patel cigar that I try.
The Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition Toro is a well-made, box-pressed, premium cigar that you can proudly smoke publicly with a smile on your face that says, “Oh, yes, this is a great cigar.” (I love how it looks.)
It’s medium-bodied and flavorsome. It has a firm draw and burns wonderfully. So everyone can enjoy it.
I paired it with imperial stout, and I was very happy about it.
