This was my first Monte A. I never had the time to smoke one while Dad was here so a while back I decided that the first night he was no longer living here, whatever the reason, I'd smoke one and reflect on the time we had. Well, he actually hasn't been here for like a month and a half but things were kind of up in the air and we have finally resolved where he'd be going. Today I picked him up at the nursing/rehab facility he's been at and took him to his new home. It's actually a house in the country where a lady takes care of elderly people. She and her daughter are RN's. He's got his own room and will be getting home cooked meals and a lot of one on one attention. It's a bit further away from me but only about 10 minutes from my sisters house so she'll be visiting nearly every day. Dad's still wants to come back to my house but I think he'll adjust there once he gives it a chance.
As for the evening and the cigar...........perfect! A cool clear night and 135 minutes of smoking pleasure out on the deck. I really enjoyed this cigar. It burned well and was very smooth all the way through. I smoked it down to about an inch.
Tonight is kind of the end of a chapter for me and I couldn't think of a better way to reflect back on it and get ready to start a new one.
