I have been posting for a while, and sometimes I go around and around with one or two of you. It's all in good fun, and I hope that nobody has been offended.
I have been enjoying cigars since around 1990, when I first decided to see what some of my peers who loved wine/cigars were talking about.
I decided to start at the top of the food chain, and drove over to Windsor, Canada to try a few Cubans, and I have been a cigar lover ever since.
It really goes well with the love of food/wine that I feel so passionately. A great cigar also makes one feel a little better, something that I can appreciate.
What is tricky about cigars is that they are so succeptible to condition, storage, temperature, humidity, and then there is the question of the roll, the draw, the size of cut on the cap.
When I get a bad bottle of wine, usually I open another,(of the same wine)and it is fine. With cigars, I find so much variation within a factory, a line of cigars, even within a box of the same cigar.
I have had a cigar and thought "that sucked", then smoked the same cigar again, at one percent less in humidity, and thought "that was great"
I have had cigars where I cut the hole too big, and didn't like it, then cut it different, and did like it.
I know I run off at the mouth and type as if I think I am THE expert on the matter of blah, blah, woof, woof,
but I just can't help but admit that the more ciagrs I smoke, the less I feel I can say I know what the heck I am talking about!
Oh well, I'm through for now. Thanks for reading.
