Last night I have my first cigar in about a month. I had been sick for two weeks in august (stomach virus, then a terrible cold) followed by buying and moving into my wife and I's first house. I spent the last two week tear up carpet, painting, unpacking, etc.

Last night I finally found time to sneak away from helping out with the house and have a cigar. Not only was it my first cigar in a long time, but my first cigar in my backyard. Man is it nice to relax on a patio outside and smoke. I was used to sitting on a small stoop outside my apartment to have a cigar.

I had a Matasa 30th Anniversay that I got from a BOTL on the board, and had been saving. It was an excellent cigar, great flavor and construction. A cigar that I will remember for a long time, as I finally got to celebrate my new house.

Anyway, just wanted to share one of the best cigar experiences I've had yet.
