Initially notes of dark cocoa and Jasmine tea followed by cedar and sandalwood spice

Lime zest and cardamom appear as I am getting into the middle of the 1st 3rd

What say you X

Finally trying the Fuente x Padron collab

Which to smoke first?

[ReignManDave @ReignManDave]

Started with the Padron

@GratefulCigars @JimLovesMB Now you have to try the mini Basin—The Machete. They come in packs and are usually easier to find.

Great smokes that could use 6 months of age

@WatersSylv60648 Skip the Macallan 25 if you find 30

The 30 is one of my all time favorite drams

Birthday treats for myself

[ReignManDave @ReignManDave]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

@TheSilverLeo When I can’t have a cigar I use these

Helps keep me focused when doing long tasks or I’m playing chess indoors

I passed and got a Byron Anejo instead

@NeatBeginnings @deanasc1 The olfactory threshold is harder to break in higher ethanol solutions.

Sensory receptors get overloaded with the initial ethyl alcohol. It takes longer for the ethyl alcohol to dissipate and allow the brain to conceptualize what we smell.

[ReignManDave @ReignManDave]

@NeatBeginnings Decant for at least 10 minutes

Add water for taste after initial sip

Spend more time nosing than tasting

Most of what is experienced on the palate comes from attuning your sense of smell

Smell is the closest olfactory sense we have to our actual memory

@armondboudreaux Headed up there in July

Beautiful spot
