San Cristobal De La Habana - El Principe

Finally my semi flu had gone just in time for a weekend cigar. Had this one in the morning after waking up and seeing the epic sun rise knowing it would be a warm winters day. Made a coffee and got a book ready to enjoy all three. I won't bore with long ideas about this cigar but thought easy draw, smooth velvety tastes and picking up notes of walnut in the beginning and cocoa near its end. It didn't keep a long ash but did burn consistently not going out once. ( 2-5min breaks) Total time of morning bliss was around 25minutes along with 2 long blacks, 1 chapter of Isaiah and ubber amounts of sun made this a perfect experience. Coffee compliment? Definitely
