This cigar tastes like petrichor
and the cool afternoon shade of a tall tree by the river
mixed with the sweat of a hard-working man
accompanied by the aroma of hand-picked coffee beans
and cedar
and hints of pink peppercorn.
It tastes like the last storm of March
and the mud of early April.

I discovered the Oliva brand only last year. Today, Oliva Serie V cigars are in my smoking repertoire and definitely in my top 10. The greatest of them is the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado, which was Cigar Aficionado’s cigar of the year of 2014.
On the other hand, the Oliva Serie V Maduro Double Toro that you see in the image has lately become one of my go-to Oliva cigars. I love it because it’s big, full-bodied, and comes with notes of cocoa, dark roast coffee, and oak. It goes extremely well with whatever I pair it with, including Islay whiskies that I love so much.

The wind is blowing hard,
screaming in my ears,
pushing away the grey clouds,
making room for spring.
I go in and come back out
with a new cigar, a cutter,
and a triple jet torch lighter
to celebrate the new sun.
I give my cigar a straight cut
and wait
for the right time to
toast it
and light it.
As I smoke my cigar,
the wind screams
until I can no longer hear the world.
