Enjoying a cigar on a cool evening! 14 year aged tobacco

This may have happened to you, but I'm a big, big fan of the AVO Syncro Nicaragua, in almost all vitolas available, whenever I see one I'll get it and love every drag I take out of it. And with such a high esteemed blend, I came to think AVO made good cigars and tried a bunch of what they do... and hated every one of it.

The Heritage is one more in that list of cigars I didn't enjoy. It lacks the strength of the Syncro Nicaragua but makes up for it with blandness and nicotine intensity. I'm sure this is my take and not a lot of other people's one, since the cigar is still a best seller, but though it has decent notes of brown sugar, nutmeg, chocolate and licorice, most of these felt under a cover of chalk and the mix of low flavor intensity and high nicotine strength made it a cigar I couldn't enjoy (I bought a 5-pack and they were all similar).

Opposite this one was the Calazan Reserva Exclusiva, my least favorite Calazan, mostly because it has a strawberry jello aftertaste I can't get over with. Hoping two wrongs made a right, I went ahead and just endured this pairing. I wouldn't recommend the cigar or the rum, but together... let's just say I temporarily forgot about it for a while and just enjoyed the occasion, if not the components.

Hadn’t had one of these since maybe last summer and it’s definitely singeing my nostrils

What a Pair

First time trying this ADV blend. I usually have whiskey with just about any non connecticut cigar and coffee or a light beer with a connecticut. So this pair of a dark stout is not the norm for me.

But wow. I mean this is a good cigar and a good beer - but holy cow they are both elevated by the partner.

The Blue Eyed Jack is an old baseball glove. Leather and oil smoke. Impeccable construction and draw. Ive had this lone single buried in the humidor for a little over a year.

The beer is coffee and dark chocolate and my goodness do they compliment each other.

This san andreas wrapper and beer combo makes me think i need to try this beer with the next padron 2000 maduro (if you know you know) out of the box in the humidor.

Anybody else drink beer and or dark beers with cigars? Might become a more regular pair for me.

Going with something more or less easily accesible for my Stateside friends. The Don Carlos is one of my favorite lines from Arturo Fuente. I'd put the Añejo first, but coming really close is the Don Carlos, probably in all of its vitolas. I had the pleasure of having one yesterday after a very, very long day. And though I usually try to avoid hard liquor on Mondays, by 4pm yesterday I knew it was going to be required later on.

The notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, sunflower seeds and cedar are strong in this one and it just cements my liking for them, especially when paired with barley whiskies, and this Bothan, very available in Total Wine, is a sherry-influenced Scotch from the Lowlands region, not very complex, but also not very expensive and a great way to spend a Monday night.

Rainy season in the Philippines is coming so when I smelled that rain It was like taking a whiff of pure eucalyptus oil on my reptilian brain.

I just wish it was a Toro and not a robusto.

Google Maps to Wild Bills took me to Clawson instead of Madison Heights but I scored this lineup. A lot of these just aren't available in Canada and if they are the price tag has more zeros than my report card.

The opus X 20years after a 70+ week of work driving across this country I busted this out to try for the first time. It was amazing and is now my favorite cigar. Smooth as silk I am amazed how they slight change in the leaf of the wrapper and the blend made this cigar I want a box now asap! It vitola was a father and son if your interested in that and I paired it with a Hennessy xo. Definitely try this one if you you see it pick it up I will anytime I see it, box buy on sight. Peace

Doesnt include my singles desktop humidor.
