myriad of the mundane

8.27.2006

found out just how overrated cubans are. it was a good cigar but i've had much better for far cheaper than the market value of the stogie.
it had a spicy start which mellowed out to a forgettable middle section but culminated in a finish that redeemed the cigar with its toasty nut and coffee body and hints of exotic flowers. even so, i put it down more quickly than most cigars i've smoked because it just wasn't a great experience.

  • I'm surprised it wasn't good. Maybe it was an old one that hadn't been properly climatized. And...it may have needed the best Cognac to go with it. I'm just sayin'...

  • sumo, yeah, maybe. but it was sitting pretty at 70-73% relative humidity for about a year and a half. it should have been way better. i'm glad i smoked it now and didn't wait for 10 years or something, geez. but it would be great with some good alcohol, lol.

    and ash, cool! i know something new about you.

  • marvelous! i could have sworn i told you, since we have had many a conversation about colorado and all that. anyways, are you making it to bumbershoot? or is your poor college student funding going to hold you back from that endeavor? :p just kidding.
