I met him at a friends cigar shop. He is an acuaintance of my friends father and stops in the shop everynow and then to share cigars and stories.
The Cohiba Esplendido is the cigar for him for a couple of reasons. He likes the flavor because he said it reminds him of the cigars he smoked in Cuba in his younger days. He also commmented about the taste of the cigar after it has gone out and has to be relit. He insists that it is a trademark of Cuban cigars, especially the Cohiba, that if it goes out and is relit later, the cigars flavor profile doesn't go bad. He said he can lay one down and come back to it the next day and the flavor is still good. In cigars from other countries, "not so good." Besides flavor and appearance, he says it is the most recognizable cigar from Cuba and he likes the excitement he sees in people when he gives one away.
