Popular Post Chas.Alpha Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted June 13, 2021 This is the 1st time I have opened the box of ‘66 Fundadores. These were gifted to me by Fidel Castro himself, after President Lyndon Johnson appointed me as special envoy to Cuba with hopes that I could negotiate an understanding between his administration and the Russians, Chinese and Cubans. I was only four years old at the time. I have paired this with a healthy dram of 240 year old Scotch Whiskey, the cask of which is in the cellar of Balmoral Castle. Her Majesty regularly checks on it for me. It was given to my great-great-great grandfather by the King of Scotland! I hired the world’s most acknowledged expert to sample the cask, (with Her Majesty’s permission, of course) and he agreed that this was the finest and most rare Scotch whiskey on the planet. What a fine weekend this is turning out to be... As my wife brought me my morning cup of tea, I asked her if she would mind if I spent the weekend at the penthouse beach condo. She asked if I was bringing my “assistant” Sophia along. I answered in the affirmative and asked if it was ok. “Of course” she replied. “I love when you spend long weekends at the beach with Sophie! It gives me a chance to scrub the floors, wash the windows and do your laundry without interruption. I live to serve my Man!” With some haste, I call my chauffeur Harold and tell him to pick me up at the main house. “Will we be picking up Sophia?” he asked. “No, she’s already at the penthouse.” After a long swim on my private beach, Soph and I head up to the penthouse. My chef Lisa prepares us a fine supper of Albino Lobster and Komodo dragon tail, with fresh vegetables and a light cream sauce. While Sophia changes into “something more comfortable”, I wander out to the palatial deck overlooking the ocean, to light what must be the rarest cigar on the planet. Immediately, I am struck with overwhelmingly pleasant flavors of nuts, cinnamon and light baking spices. The 240 year old Single Malt only enhances the experience. Truly the cigar of Kings and Royalty. Halfway thru, facing East watching the sunset from my private villa in Florida, the cigar slips out of my fingers and drops to the ground some 12 stories below. As I reached to grab it, my elbow smashes on the balcony rail. My eyes close tightly from the pain... When I open them, I am sitting in my garage, with a smoldering cigar in the ashtray. It isn’t a ‘66 Fundadores. My mouth is no longer filled with the pleasant notes of a fine puro. More like a viscous oil after poking my head over a vat of boiling roofing tar. It is one of the sample blends that we picked up in Nicaragua to make a house stick in Tampa. This isn’t the blend we were hoping for. The 240 year old scotch has turned into a warm half-empty can of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Sophia? Well... 😔 6 24
