A Pleasant Morning


Following up on a tip from Keith, this morning I had a Private Stock #11 cigar with a couple large cups of coffee--and I really enjoyed it!

Yes, that sound you heard was me actually enjoying a Davidoff cigar, something that has not happened previously. The Millennium blend I had as my first Davidoff experience was mild and under-flavored--not bad, but there was no way it could justify the $14 price tag for a "short robusto." My second experience was with another Private Stock cigar; again, not bad, but not something I would actively seek out or keep in my humi on purpose.

So, I had a little extra time this morning. Work was slow and it was raining outside. I sat on the front porch watching the rain. It was about 50 degrees outside, just the lower limit for long-term comfort while smoking a cigar (any colder and it starts to really get to you after 20 minutes or so). My coffee is the Trader Joe's Columbia Supremo (gonna miss that stuff when I run out) and I brewed it strong. I had a pleasant time, smoking a fairly mild cigar with a fairly strong coffee; the two complemented each other nicely. I listened to the Blowin' Smoke podcast with the BurghHerfers. It was a great morning...of course, now I have to get to work.
