Welcome and Introduction

I established this blog as a personal journal of my experiences with cigars. During the past two years, I have become quite the fan of cigars, and have come to really appreciate the subtle nuances and flavor profiles created by the different manufacturers.

Similar to wine, the tobacco leaf is a vessel that carries extensive flavor profiles depending on the soil, sunlight, fermenting and other post harvesting techniques as well as the complexities it takes on when blended with other leaves from different species, regions or location on the tobacco plant itself.

I invite you to come with me on this journey as we explore the enjoyment of cigars. I have documented in photographs some of the cigars I have already enjoyed and will try to avoid using stock images instead using my own as taken when I enjoyed a particular smoke.

I will probably be a little bit biased on here citing cigars that I enjoy, sometimes I may write about the same cigar more than once, but within the confines of a different setting. And speaking of settings, I think they play as important a role as the cigar itself. A mediocre cigar enjoyed with a group of friends I feel beats out a top rated cigar smoked alone, so will try to include the who, what, when, where and why of what I smoke, and hopefully inspire you to venture out and try some of my recommendations as well.

I invite you to utilize the comment section to offer your thoughts and feedback, and of course never hesitate to offer up a suggestion of a cigar you have smoked.

Let's start out on this journey together, and pay special attention to those times that present themselves to sit back, relax and enjoy a great cigar.

Welcome and enjoy!
