A Drawer Full of Options...

My Sparsely Filled Humidor

Look at that selection of smokes! I know it isn't the best stocked humidor, but it is MY humidor, and not too bad for a poor working stiff like me!

I am contemplating the next review... and I think the CAIN "Daytona" is gong to win. Since I read about the CAIN I have been eagerly awaiting the perfect time to sit and enjoy this 100% ligero cigar. That time is is quickly approaching! Saturday or Sunday for sure. Thanks to the great guys at the Cigar Cave for this one!

since I have started writing these reviews, I have been reading a lot of cigar reviews. It is funny to me the "complex" flavors that many reviewers seem to taste in their cigars. My flavor palate is not nearly so discerning. The flavors that I most taste in cigars are spice (especially with the dark maduro wrappers that I seem to prefer), wood (cedar and oak), coffee and tobacco... (go figure!) But what I tell all my friends that don't regularly smoke cigars try several, smoke what you like and don't worry about whether or not the industry considers it an award winning smoke.

What I look for when I peruse the humidor at my local cigar shop is a well formed, dark cigar that is firm to the touch (no overly hard or soft spots) and a "warm" inviting smell. Yes, I like to smell a cigar before I buy it which is difficult with some of the cellophane wrapped sticks you get today.

So what's in that meagerly stocked humidor you ask... well there are a couple Undercrowns (one of my faves), a CAO Sopranos (limited edition), an Acid Toast and a few others... missing from this photo is my all time fave the Cohiba Black (I have one left, but it was still in my travel humidor that I took playing golf the other day...).

As you go into your weekend, stop by your local cigar store and pick up a stick, something you would not normally try and enjoy!
