It’s been exactly 1 month since my last cigar, and 1 month since I’ve been home when it was warm enough to sit on my porch and smoke one. And, it looks like it’ll be warm enough for the next several days. Can it be that spring has finally sprung? Even though my lawn looks like every dog in the neighborhood has had it’s way, I’m ready to have some warm weather. I’m even ready to mow the lawn.
As I lit up my Acid Kuba Deluxe I noticed a strange sensation agains my butt cheeks. It took me a minute to figure out what it was. Warmth. The afternoon sun had actually warmed the porch enough that I could feel it. That’s prime cigar smoking real estate right there ;-)
The Acid was pretty sweet. Very much an after dinner cigar. It was pretty sugary on the outside, but it had enough meaty tobacconess to it I knew I was smoking a real cigar and not some grocery store special. I expected it to get more spicy near the end, and it didn’t so much. It did burn like every cigar should – nice and even. Overall, it’s a bit sweet and mild for my tastes, but right now my palate is rustier than a sewer grate so I need the cigar equivelant of training wheels. I think the Acid Kuba Deluxe is the deluxe version of that very thing.
I’ve been impressed with the cigars I’ve gotten from TexCigars.com, a great place for discount cigars. I’m not talking about the flavor, but the fact that they aren’t so dry they’re tinder or so wet they’re compost. They just smoke well. I’m convinced that even though cigars may sit in my humidor for a while, how they come from the supplier has a big effect on how well they smoke.
I’m afraid to make predictions, as both the weather and my schedule have been very unpredictable. But since I’ve got no travel planned, no relatives coming for babtisms, and have no furniture projects underway, I think I can safely say I may experience an increased probability of having an opportunity to possibly enjoy another cigar tomorrow night. God, I sound like an economist.
