Salad Sunday Stretches...

It was a fine winters Sunday noon today with the rays beaming through the woods onto our deck. This was the invitation to cheat any cold feelings by taking the table outside and enjoy a salad. Candice suggested a cigar and I didn't contest. Opening the humidor this Montecristo Especial no.2 jumped out and ran towards the tuna garden salad.A light pleasant smell of fine cedar (no doubt influenced by the humidor) and a perfect pre-lit draw with similar tastes to the smell. Once burning, it had a really soft wood with some kind of lingering nut (the taste of the skin on an almond).

This soft wood complemented the flavours of the salad and not overpowering. Great match with the feta cheese and avocado.

Even the ash resembled a flawless pack with delicate and fine looking burnt tobacco leaf.

The flavour maintained the same the whole way through and maybe only gearing up slightly in the last third with some passive kick to assist with the peppercorn I bit as a finished my meal.

Overall, this is a top cigar shared with the beautiful model pictured. The experience left me with one final impression... The healthy cigar that demanded a send off stretch.

  1. those jeans sure look tight in that pose. hopefully not the reason why you are "puckering up" ;-)

    really like that roof behind though, is it some kind of cupola?

  2. I would say yes, the jeans aren't quite the yoga pants I needed and I would say yes to the cupola thought. It's a domed roof living room with shingle tiles (that desperately need renovation to stop leaks) and a few groovy pains of glass on the sides with a spiral staircase in the middle.

  3. *panel or pane but the glass is not very painful as it is currently positioned.
