I remember a time before color TV was invented. I remember a time when, as a rebellious 11-year-old, I smoked my first cigar (I loved the flavor). I remember a time when the world, at least to me, was simpler. Posted in The Lounge by chipc73 on April 21 2024 10:05:40 AM

I remember a time before color TV was invented. I remember a time when, as a rebellious 11-year-old, I smoked my first cigar (I loved the flavor). I remember a time when the world, at least to me, was simpler. Yesterday, a La Aroma de Cuba Robusto took me back to that very time.

Sometimes, cigars can gently provide the smoker an almost magical transformation into an alternate reality; this wonderful stogie did just that. Long-forgotten sensations and impressions from yesteryear came floating back into my consciousness. It was almost as if I was seeing my present reality in black and white. (*Although yesterday was 4/20, I was not smoking anything other than pure tobacco.*)

La Aroma de Cuba’s tagline, “a taste from another time,” certainly rang true yesterday.

Cheers!

Incidentally, the cigar was perfect in every aspect: burn, draw, flavor, strength, appearance, smoke production, cap placement, you name it. Absolutely perfect. If only every cigar were such an embodiment of perfection… we can always hope!
