"I smoked a fabulous La Fontana Friday Night!"

"Cigar smoking is not just a hobby. It’s a lifestyle in the fine art of relaxation and celebration."

Congratulations Ms. Cigar Woman, 2008!

My year of 2007 represented a huge transition for me, first came a Life in Transition...Cigar Anyone? next came the encouragement of my readers, the acknowedgment of my web sites, and then finally the comfort and confirmation that I was a worthy member of the Sister of the Leaf....

I say that to say this.....

Ladies of the cigar world, I'm here to stay and here's your Sunday morning Cigar!

Who's smoking what and what's everyone been doing....

A few things I read and liked this week.

And what would a Sunday with the Cigar Woman be without the fellas at Stogie Guys!

Guest Quick Smoke Por Larrañaga Petit Cetro en Cedro.

"....The flavor evolved into a soft, well-blended mix of caramel, cedar, tea, and smoke. This profile lasted throughout the 45-minute cigar, with the sweeter flavors most notable during the middle part of the smoke, and the final few puffs leaning more toward a dry, woody taste."

B. Brown from Providence Rhode Island submitted this Guest Smoke and gave this popular cigar a Buy Verdict.

I smoked a fabulous La Fontana Vintage on Friday. This premium sweet tipped cigar was everything expected from the world famous Camacho brand! La Fontana Vintage is surprisingly mild and maintains a very rich flavor. This type of characteristic is rare in such a full bodied cigar.  Taken from another review on La Fontana Vintage:

"Another unique aspect about this cigar is the sweet head that comes from a sugarcane gum that is used when applying the cap to the golden Connecticut wrapper. This sweetness is strong at first to take the edge of the first few draws from the cigar, but as the cigar settles, so does the sweet taste on your lips. When La Fontana Vintage hits full stride it becomes very complex and very pleasant. This blend debuted in 1993 and has since been very popular, appealing to a wide range of cigar enthusiasts."

I shared this cigar with my friend who is not a cigar smoker, but she enjoys my journey on the occasion - the sweetness and friendly smoothness of this cigar enticed my friend's smoking experience! This cigar is definitely one of my favorites and I will  keep a few handy in my humidor.
