Now there's a coincidence. I haven't had time to sit down with a good cigar in a couple of months. But yesterday we had a nice warm day. My wife and I took the dog out for a hike in the American River canyon. We picked up some steaks on the way home and sat out on the deck with a martini to watch the sunset.

I thought, "This is a perfect time for a cigar"

By pure chance, I ended up choosing a Fonesca. It was a small ring gauge cigar that was probably only 5 1/2" long. Yeah, it was a good cigar. I really enjoyed it.

I haven't had a cigar in a while so I didn't feel like having a strong cigar or a heavy maduro. This cigar was exactly what I needed. I noticed more of a nicotine hit than I'm use to, but it was a pleasant side effect withe the vodka martini I was having. It started out mellow but the flavors really got good about half way down. I smoked it almost to the last inch before it strted getting harsh.

Yeah, that little Fonesca was a darn good cigar.
