Default so I once thought it was a good idea

To introduce a friend of mine to Zaya. He is an Irish/single malt guy usually.
He liked it.. And several other sipping rums he has "experimented" with me over the last year or so.
He Christmas smacked me with a bottle of the latest Trini version last night, with a couple nice etched Zaya glasses in a gift pack. Completely unexpected, we had just gone over to his house for a short notice impromptu dinner and he did what he called the "Wisconsin Reveal."
He came upstairs holding a box... covered with a flannel shirt, told me that "This is what is called the Wisconsin Reveal," pulled off the shirt like a stripper in a hurry for a date and wished me a Merry Christmas.
That puts the K in Klassy for me.

While I don't think he will ever smoke more than the very occasional cigar, it's nice to share a passion for the other finer things in life with a good friend.

It doesn't matter what. Sharing a passion for the finer things in life with good friends is one of life's many blessings.

I agree with this! Every time I try a new cigar that I enjoy I immediately think through my like-minded friends to figure out who else would enjoy it and when I'll be able to see them next.

A recent bottle of Trini Zaya? Do your thoughts echo mine that I told you yesterday?

I love Zaya, both old and new!

I still have several bottles of the Guatemalan variety.
