RASS (EPM NOV 18) VVRW#1

[Akela3rd]

Much needed day off after 12 straight days at work, chores done and the sun is out at last. Time to settle down with an old favourite cigar and Rovelli's latest book on the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics.

The RASS is the last from a box that has been generally very good. This example looks good, feels good and with a V cut, draws perfectly. Mild to start but lovely and smooth with a slight fruity tang which lingers in the mouth. Very slight spice giving the general impression of apples cooked with cinnamon, but without the exact flavour of either. Of course, this is my observation of my interaction with the cigar and therefore there are waveforms (psi) that are relational to both my smoking of the cigar and separately, to my observation of myself doing so. I digress.

It's a good choice for a warm (12°C, again, relative) afternoon and the first third slips by beautifully in the same mildly fruity way.

Second third and a distinct change to a more woody and earthy profile, like a mild Partagas D4. Still a little sweetness behind it though no longer the fruit.

Into the final stretch and the wrapper has dried and flaked a little. Still good flavours of wood and a return to the deep, dark fruit (a friend sent me a message unrelated but mentioning blueberries, maybe she's entangled...).

Becomes unmanageable so I give it up...reluctantly.

An excellent way to spend an hour.

Cigar - 8/10

Book - |A)X|OA+|B)X|OB)

Haven't been a big fan of them really. They are certainly good, but to me, not as good as I would think for as popular as they are.
I still keep some on hand usually though

I just had the same happen from an RyJ Romeo #1 tubo. Kept at 65%RH. 
May I ask how yours was stored?

Thanks

Nothing unusual 62-3%/17°c ish.
It happens occasionally and I'm not one for over-analysing so I just put it down to the combination of a cool breeze and warm sun accentuating a minor flaw somewhere.

@Akela3rd where did you get a copy of that? My pre order says it isn't released until may 25.

I keep everything at 65% and 68 degrees steadily and occasionally have it happen too

Waterstone's books online, Amazon have it but they've decimated bookshops so I don't buy from them. I'm in the UK and it was released here 25th March.
Lovely book, his usual mixture of hard theory thrown in with personal, philosophical and historical perspectives.

Hey - that's a pretty funny comment about not over analyzing things from a guy who reads -- Rovelli's latest book on the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics.  Love it !

Yeah, I know, I did wonder about that myself briefly.
That's the dichotomy of our macro view of the world and the micro reality behind it all. And I, like Rovelli himself and all those theorising about QM, still don't understand it!
