April 2006 BoM
Yesterday was a really nice day, finalizing the granite counter tops, looking for sinks to go with it, you know how it is sometimes. Then back to the house to just enjoy the rest of the day. Later it was pizza and drinks with Cindy, her parents, her son Anthony and his girlfriend. Just sitting around on the patio enjoying the evening and the company of nice folks
life doesnt get much better!
Anthony and I decided we needed to celebrate his recent birthday (26 years and counting) so we set up our smoking area at the other end of the patio so as not to bother the non-smokers. A couple of comfy chairs, an Ashton ashtray, and a nice stone top table to set all our stuff on, then it was time to select the perfect smoke for the evening. As youd expect, the Aristocrat humidor still is well stocked, so we didnt have an easy time selecting the perfect smoke. However, in my extreme wisdom, we decided to burn a couple of April 07 PSD4s. Id had one recently and they were smoking very well, and its hard to beat the flavors when paired with Makers Mark. So thats exactly what we had to drink a couple of clips with the Palio cutter, and a torch light later and we were well on our way!
Guys, we have said many times on this board that a good cigar is a great thing to enjoy, and even better when you are smoking with friends. Sometimes, the experience is just topped by something you cant quite put your finger on, and this was one of those times. Anthony and I had smoked a couple of times previous, but this was just a great evening for some reason. We had time to sit by ourselves and just shoot the breeze and enjoy the cigars we talked about a lot of stuff, some deep conversations, some not so deep. Hes a fantastic young man and a joy to be around.
Now, was this the best cigar Ive ever smoked? Thats not really the question, now is it? Was this a cigar Ill remember for a while? Id just bet it is
