Love reading @Tennesee Dave posts also. Good pics and he loves every cigar he smokes.
Long story on tonight's smoke. Last time I got together with @maverickdrinker he had a handful of unbranded cigars that he thought we should smoke blind with no preconceived notions. Through the first half I had no idea what it was but made bad guesses. About half way through the flavor changes and the a A-ha moment when you taste Partagas. Still didn't know what it was other than a Partagas. When we finally finished he let us know we just smoked a Partagas Grand Reserva. He graciously gave me the few left over that we didn't smoke and I decided tonight was a good night to revisit. Same experience this time. First half is kind of plain and nothing to write home about. Second half is superb. Thanks Art
