I love cigars! Been smoking for 7 years now, but this very forum has enriched my knowledge and love for cigars. There was a time where I could be handed any cigar at any time. This was a time when any romeo n julieta or montecristo from the bnm or even gas station felt like I was smoking amongst royalty. I didn't know how to cut or light a cigar properly. I was with buddies who didn't either, but we felt like we ruled the world. There is something special about holding a lit cigar among brothers that is so ritualistic.
Fast forward... me and the boys still love our cigars some have developed our tastes better than others but the time spent together is the same, late nights, bbq, fires, talking about life, family etc. Cigars amongst brothers are really what it is all about.
Why am I ranting, well I am currently smoking a cigar gifted to me by a fellow brother who likes to remain unnamed. He will know who.he is he graciously sent many cigars to this newbie who I hope he knows is very blessed by such gifts but this cigar is an ihavana aguila. This cigar is.so simple yet so complex it brought me back to the early days of smoking any cigar but is so subtly complex that it is as Amazing as my first cigars with friends and as wonderful as the next I will share among my most seasoned botl.
Some of u are saying wtf is abjd. Some might remember poor solicitation that made u angry and others might remember good trades and passes. I am not one to.chime in much on the banter but I love trades, bets, and passes.
Here's to.remberering why we all come here to.bs! Cheers fellow BOTL!
Ps. This may very well be my epitaph, getting married next week!
