when someone you've yet to meet - gifts you with package of cigars
Just because....
he's your brother of the leaf, his generosity exudes from his character - a man who receives pleasure from his random acts of "bombing" his brothers and sisters...
and he is one of the Men who Love Us!
Thank you brother....
Now let me tell u the story of a Nub Habano and Damsel....
A part of every woman feels the desire to escape... just to slip away when no one is watching - just for a little while, go undercover and "Incognito" - then when the resurrection has completed, she must twirl back to the world of her being. Her tranquility and "Me" time, barely accomplished - if only the clock would stop. And much too soon, she is thrust back into the reality of life.... time never stands still ... she begins again...
Last Saturday was a day and a half for me, busy as could be, seemed as though everyone and their mother wanted a piece of my attention...
and attention I gave. In the back of my mind, slip away was tugging at my patience... and yes - the Nub Habano was calling out to me! And when the time was right - away I went, slip away time!
I received a "hit" from one of the brothers at Cigar Live, and he was so kind to send me a my very first Nub Habano - my choice of smoke for the "slip away moment". Its pre draw had a nice sweet fruity sense to it - which immediately caught my attention. A fruit and nut chocolate bar came to mind. The foot of the cigar toasted up nicely, and its first draw was clear with a billow of white smoke. As I smoked through the first third, a peppery tingle on the tongue with a slight reflection of spice on the lip, a very distinct difference from the Cameroon I thought. It could have been because the Cameroon was my first experience with the Nub family, and from its first draw, I was hit with the "whoa" factor. Up until this point, the Habano was a more delicate experience for me. Its flavor of licorise, pepper and spice - mildly sensed, and not as complex as its brother the Cami.
It wasn't until the half way point, I was hit with a "ya better stay seated" buzz - the Nub was on! Known for the solid ash, I managed to do the Nub dance and stood my cigar on its feet - no wind, but just as I went to take the shot the batteries went dead!! Dang, foiled again....
The ash held up all the way to the final moments when it finally fell itself. The change up in the last leg of this cigar was like magic - Sam, u sure knew how to make an enthusiast slow the smoke down some!
I absolutely love this cigar, and without a doubt, hands down, another Lady's Nod for the Nub Habano. Not only is this an easy laid back smoke - its just fun! Okay, so what's next ....
Damsel....
