A much appreciated cigar hits the spot.

I had a great cigar the other day while driving up to Green Bay. My friend Bill Granger stopped by for coffee and chat and gifted me two excellent smokes, one being the Indian Tabac Maduro pictured here. Sometimes a good cigar tastes even better, because other variables line up to make the context of the experience more enjoyable. This was one of those times.

Because I'd been so busy with work-related stuff I hadn't taken the time to enjoy a cigar for a couple weeks. The day Kim and I drove up to Green Bay was exceptionally nice, with warm, shirt sleeve weather and a bright blue sky. The fact that this cigar was a gift from a friend I hadn't seen for a couple months also figured in. And this was just a darn tasty cigar.

From the very first puff it was delicious, with loads of aromatic spiciness, nuttiness and warm sweetness. It was smooth from start to finish with nary a harsh note, which pleasantly surprised me, as some reviews of the Indian Tabac had me expecting a bit of unwelcome bitter heat as I neared the head.

You'll notice near the bottom of the left sidebar a link for cigarsdirect.com. If you're a cigar afficionado or budding afficionado please check them out. They've got a good selection and provide some great information on the site if you want to learn about cigars. I'll also be adding a section to this site that will be devoted to cigars.

Seeing the cigar photo reminds me...I found a cigar stub in my van awhile back. My first thought was, "Hmm...wonder if David put this here." Don't know anyone else who would do something like that. So, did you?
