I’m a man of many vices and I’m O.K. with that – I make an effort to moderate my less than FDA approved indulgences. That said, tonight’s other new feature is a chronicle of my “dirty” cigar hobby. It’s true, in this day and age of anti-all-things-tobacco – I enjoy a good cigar.  I’ve never done any illegal narcotics, nor have I ever been a cigerette smoker or binge drinker, so this is my one real bad one. Let’s enjoy it together, shall we?? ;)

Tonight’s volunteer from the humidor is a Trinidad Lonsdale.

• Trinidad Cigars
• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
  
• Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf
• Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian

What started out as a light smoke has quickly and enjoyably evolved into a very rich and spicy treat. This one has been in my stash for a while, a gift from my sister. I’d never smoked a Trinidad before, so not knowing what to expect, I’d left it be for a few months.

It’s a perfect stick for tonight – super easy draw, great flavor and not an obnoxiously long commitment of time. I’ll enjoy this one here in my office as I watch the sun setting outside my window.
