Cigars...There not just Cigars!

A little background..... I just moved 8 houses down from my Brother in Law. In the past whenever we would get together we enjoyed the occasional cigar. My B-I-L has never really strayed from that. Id provide the cigars he'd supply the booze and that’s just the way it was. He smoked a cigar to smoke and only had one when I was around.

Since my infiltration into the neighborhood he has now enjoyed many cigars with me, sometime on a nightly basis. He is slowly developing a pallet and has even made a few purchases at the local B&M. During this time I have been introducing some old favorites that I've just plain forgot about.... Hoyas, Arturo Fuente (green band), St. Louis Ray, etc. He has also introduced me to smokes I've never had... SOSA, La Aroma De Cuba and a few others. Some have been great, some not so great. I’m not sure if its the company or my senses taking me back to my former days of cigar smoking, but revisiting these smokes and trying new ones on the blind has been an awesome experience for me. Watching another BOTL grow right before my eyes has been even better.
