Early Friday Evening smoke. Paul Garmirian Gourmet Series Connoisseur 2013 Symphony 20...6x52.
Held off on smoking this excellent cigar that WNYTONY had so gracously sent me until I could be certain of an uninterupted lenght of time to enjoy it.
Had a hunch that this could be an exceptional cigar, one that would reward one smoking slowly whilst paying attention to what was on offer.
Right from the start there was an awareness of 'something' out of the ordinary,a unique quality maybe owing to the age of the tobaccos used in the blend.
Fir, very glad I set aside the time giving this cigar the attention deserved.
Thanks again, TONY.

5-Vegas Gold Toro with coffee light. This one's misbehavin' a bit but still ok.
@allusred mentioned waking early feels like you're stretching the day, amen to that and wish that I could do so more often.

Have you smoked the San Cristobol Del Sol? Lucked out finding some of these favouites. Any 'take' on the San Cristobol blend?
Will do Tony! ThxQuote:

Had it resting for at least 18 months and I think I have another plus 2 of whatever this is not (natural/maduro).
Thx Pete! And I sure will.Quote:

Knew Rob Levine (Holts/Ashton) pretty well in the day, good guy. I bought cigars (retail) from them for several years and I tried (and liked) San Cristobal. The Old Henry was a good value made by Pepin Garcia too I believe. Rob knows cigars and is one of the best connected people in the industry so their marques like San Cristobal are very good indeed.

More important are the points that you described because all the 'leather' in the world is subject to what you said, if it's not burning well or falls apart it's immaterial.
