The wife and I go to Cabo every year (for the last 8 years) and this particular vacation week always falls on her Bday and this year especially (our 1 year anniversary year).
Since Cabo got hit hard we changed our location to Cancun. We had only been there once before a couple years ago and it was a work thing for her so it was meh.
This trip was awesome dn this particular day (10-14) was an epic cigar day for me. Here is the breakdown of the day...
I woke up at 5am. Very unusually especially when on vacation and having stayed up late the night before. I finally roe out of bed at about 6am and decided to watch the sun come up while enjoying a smoke. I grabbed a Padron 1964 Anniversario Pyramid. This was the stick that started it all for me and it was a long overdue reunion.
It was awesome to reminisce on the memories of what got me started, the trip I was on at the time, the friends I made AND to watch the sunrise wake up Cancun.
That afternoon after some pool and ocean time I went back up to smoke cigar #2, a Liga Privada T52 Belicoso. This was so different than the Double Corona I had a few weeks ago. After smoking this stick I am looking forward to more as the previous just didn't seem worth it but this one was on a different level.
If you wonder why I smoke on my balcony vs downstairs by the pool... this is why...
That late afternoon we decided to go find the one place that had consistently good reviews for cigars in Cancun and a place that had a reputation for their Mojitos. Since the closure of Hemingway's in Cabo we have not had a Mojito that could even come close. La Casa Del Habano delivered on all that was needed and then some. The wife left me there while she went to the mall. This is where I decided to have a Cohiba Siglo IV and enjoyed one hell of a Mojito made by none other than "the Mojito Man".
The Cohiba did something very interesting. With a few inches left I heard a pop and felt a snap. The wrapper split down the middle. I was close to the end so it wasn't that big a deal and I was having fun and enjoying some conversation so it didn't matter.
The wife got back and wanted something mild and tasty. The cigar lady put her into a Montecristo Joyita. I also enjoyed one after my Cohiba. Wow... tasty little devil!
I also like to smoke with the wife when she's willing to join me. She enjoys it but usually leaves me to it alone because she knows its my time to relax. This time we had a blast with a tasty smoke, a great mojito in a great place with some fun people. The below pic is David "Mojito Man" Torres.
That evening was capped off with the best CC in the world (IMHO), a Montecristo #2. By the time I got to this smoke we were both so happy and mellow that we just sat up on the balcony in the dark, listened to the music from downstairs, talked about what a great day it was and turned in when the smoking was done.
The wife was happy, I was happy, there was not a bad smoke had and it was a day for the memory books for sure.
