...you hit perfection. Those perfect aromas, perfect burns, perfect flavours capping off a good day in work*....Life affirming cigars that make this hobby of chasing and tasting the burnt compounds of fermented cuban tobacco leaves, just...*worthwhile* in the grand scheme of the universe.
Epi #1, LUS ABR 10 courtesy of our host. Just magnificent. Creamy sweet "oreo cream", nuts, toasted brioche, "cafe au lait". Paired with a simple but delicious Aberlour 10. Today was a good day. I'm on a high. I laughed out loud when I tasted this one. The dog was giving me strange looks. It's like stealing and not getting caught, marrying the woman out of your league, getting 10 McNuggets in your box of six...The rest of the box has been hit and miss. This one...well, superlatives can not do it justice. Unbeleivable and I hope there are more. All is well. What a lucky sod I am with my lot in life, sitting here in peace and safety and good health, enjoying a bloody great pastime.
*the engineers have been struggling with a problem for days. Product not shipping. Pissed off salesmen and customers alike. Among the 100 other things I needed to do, I decided to step in and get involved. Asking a couple of "right" questions and asking for a few focussed tests to be done got to the root cause quickly and my suggested fix worked. Sometimes you get lucky. Experience brings a bit more luck. Salut everybody, salut.
