Puffed on the Tabacelera 1881 Perique cigar this morning, while putting trash out, sat on porch for a while, really smooth smoke, but too cold and windy, cut it and will finish in better weather.
Warped La Hacienda, again, with coffee. Not a great pairing since the rich, dark cocoa notes of Community coffee clashes with the citrusy, sweet dried-fruity notes of the cigar. I feel this stick is best enjoyed sans a beverage.
Just finished a NUB 460 Maduro during my evening commute. I don’t smell the car note, but my wife drove my car one day, and she complained that the car smells bad. That was after a week since I had smoked my last cigar in the car. I took note of this - I will smoke in the car only occasionally in the winter, but today was part of that “occasionally”
Confession, getting lazy in my old age, cigars are easier, no packing, wind on porch plays havoc with the pipe, and I like those cigars. Who would have thought! Favorite so far Oliva Master Blend 3.
