Daily Cigar

My wife and I went for a walk with the kids the other night. it was the best sort of summer evening. Warm, breezy, and early enough in the season that bugs are just starting to exist again but aren’t much of a bother.

When she asked if I wanted to go, I almost said now, but then I realized it was a perfect cigar smoking opportunity. The breeze would keep smoke at bay, and for whatever reason walking enhances my enjoyment of a great cigar.

I hustled to my humidor, and picked out the shortest stick I had - a Perdomo. I believe it is what they call a Phatom size in their Estate Seleccion Vintage 1991 series.

All I can say is YUM! that sucker was awesome! I’m a bit predisposed to like cigars that are shaped like me - that is, short and fat - but this ‘gar burned like a champ, with very tasty and plentiful smoke. It didn’t get bitter or wood-smokey near the end. In fact it’s about the only cigar I’ve smoked yet where I could have burned my fingers if I’d been just a little distracted.

Going to have to find more of these guys…my usual vendor of great cigars cheap doesn’t seem to have them.

I met a local guy on one of the cigar forums, and today we met up at a local cigar shop. It was a very new place, and as a gift the local gave me a number of cigars (yay!):

• A Domingo - the local house brand.
• A Sancho Panza
• A Torano
• A Perdomo
• A San Cristobal (a @#$^$% Cuban!)
• A Comacho SLR
• A Bolivar

The Domingo was pretty good. About like the Consuegra (Ok, I smoke them a lot because they were cheap ;-) but perhaps not quite as smooth. Hard to say. I think it would be a great $2 cigar if it didn’t cost $4, but there’s no telling what some age might do. I have no idea - I haven’t done this long enough, but a very recurring piece of advice is to let cigars age if they’re rough.
