I became a cigar geek only four weeks ago. My wife and I are full-time travelers - we've been exploring this great country for five years in our motorhome. Today I had a rough one. It didn't start well and I'm not proud of the way I handled a few challenges. But tonight we're in a campground in Kentucky and I sat outside in a camp chair and lit a Oliva Serie G Toro while I watched the sunset over a bean field. Three fingers of Makers Mark and a cigar had me unwound. My thoughts on the Serie G;
This is my current baseline to compare all smokes with. Great smoke, mouthfuls of mild to medium flavorful smoke. Nothing really stands out - spice on the retro and a little maple in the last third, but fulfilling always. Two re-lights in the last 3rd that I blame on me trying to cone the ash. Love it. 110 minutes of relaxation, didn't want to quit.
Cigars are a new experience for me, but I'm finding it worthwhile and I'm looking forward to learning and finding new favorites.
