    Paint a Picture for us all

    Let's try this...
    Recently, I was pondering my favorite tastes and aromas in cigars. Then I started thinking, "how do you explain that to somebody?" I will start us off. I love tasting and smelling chocolate, coffee, cream, red pepper, salt, cedar and leather. So how do I paint somebody a picture of what that's like?
    Picture this: You are sitting in a library of sorts, let's say your own. You sit in a fine leather chair in a cedar-lined room. You have as refreshments, a cup of Italian espresso and cream, and a chocolate bar. Not just any bar, a 75% dark chocolate bar, with sea salt and red pepper pieces. You nibble at the bar, and chase it with a sip of the espresso and cream.
    That's how I'd describe the combination of tastes and aromas that I love in a cigar. And if I ever found a stick that had all those together? I'd go bankrupt buying them all. Anybody else want to try this exercise?

    My idea of exercise is dragging a deer out of the woods until I can get to it with the 4 Wheeler or tractor...You don't want to smell me then...
    Like my father before me, I will work the land,
    And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.

    For me, Fall is my favorite time. Sitting outside with the smell of dry leaves and that aroma that fall gives when things are shutting down.
    A nice Maduro and some Bourbon just seem to complete it.
    Couple of things I've learned. I like good Bourbon and hate wet toilet paper.

    Let's try this out..

    Sitting outside in front of a fire on a cold night, but kept perfectly warm still. Thick, chewy, creamy and flavorful smoke all around me.

    I'd try it, but you already did it for me. Nicely done.
