Words preserved in pages
like torshi seer in mason jars
don’t mean
what they used to mean.
But they are much more meaningful now.

Not all cigars are burning poems.
Some of them are hourglasses.
Others are daydreams.

Their purpose changes.

Who has a raison d’être? Show me.
Isn’t the meaning constantly changing?
Are you here for the same reason
you were here yesterday?
Even if you think so, you’re not.
You don’t have a purpose,
you have many;
therefore, none at all.

Name: Horacio VI

Shape: Parejo

Size: (4 inches x 66)

Strength: Medium

The Horacio VI from the Classic series that I tried last night wasn’t a bad cigar. It had a good draw, and it burned well. I paired it with Russian vodka and got hints of leather, light roast coffee, and bell pepper.

Have a Cigar: Plasencia Reserva 1898 Robusto

I paired the Plasencia Reserva 1898 Robusto with Polish vodka and smoked it alone on the balcony on a cold night.

Smoking alone has become a habit. Drinking vodka on the rocks, too.

I enjoy the solitude.

I try not to use my phone, and I try not to think. I let my mind drift.

It’s a form of meditation, I suppose. And, slowly, I’m getting to know myself.

The cigar helps.
