What makes a good cigar a good cigar?

That'd be an original release Padilla Achilles. He tried to get all that were left. If he's nothing, he's passionate about what he likes.

Back to the topic, I find a good cigar: burns well, has a likable flavor, changes a little throughout, and is thoroughly enjoyed with good company. I can smoke a so-so cigar with friends and it takes on a very sweet and enjoyable flavor. What's a steak without a hot baked potato, a fresh salad, some warm bread, and a glass of iced tea?
