Did you enjoy a cigar today?

Feel free to post anything unrelated to wet shaving or men's grooming (I.e. cars, watches, pens, leather goods. You know, the finer things of life).

Red Dot toro: Red Dot has a filler blend of half Jamaican and half Nicaraguan
tobaccos with a Nicaraguan binder. The wrapper is a choice of a natural
Ecuador Habano or a maduro Costa Rican which results in a mild to medium bodied cigar.

Davidoff Winston Churchill Commander - one of the very last NCs I've got in my humi, and also one of the best I remember smoking:

It has been several years since I have smoked cigars but the weather here in south Texas has inspired me to sit on my screened in patio and enjoy a nice bourbon and a cigar. Today at 5:00 pm it is 82 degrees with a nice southeast breeze. Beautiful weather!

I’m enjoying an H Upmann toro blended by AJ Fernandez and rolled in his factory in Nicaragua. As far as I know, this is the first Upmann produced outside Cuba or most recently the Dominican Republic. This is truly an excellent cigar. Construction and draw are perfect. The flavor is medium strength with tastes of pepper, leather and spice.

Of course, the Very Old Barton’s bourbon adds to the enjoyment. An hour well spent.
Best regards,

Basil,

Thanks for sharing this, I really appreciate it.

Bourbon and a cigar used to be a daily custom for me at the end of the day but ever since the doctor put me on this blasted blood pressure medicine I can't have either anymore. So it's nice to live variously as they say.

Enjoy!

Chris
