Being sort nice for late October in Ohio, I decide to fix the siding on my garage and do some general chores around the yard the other day. My wife was playing hookey from work and her and my daughter were busy making pumpkin cookies. My goal was to finish my tasks and enjoy an afternoon smoke while they both napped.
Cigar: Anejo No. 46 5.625 x 46
Since my daughter and wife decide to take a nap I had some alone time and decide to smoke something a little nicer to enjoy a pleasant afternoon. Eager to relax I decided to skip lunch, yes this is fore-shadowing.
Pre-light; Wrapper was perfectly dark and had a subtle texture to it. Well constructed with no soft spots or large veins. A quick snip and pre-light draw was somewhere between sweet cocoa and leather.
First-Third: A toast of the foot and we were off and running...coughing??? Initial puff or two were extremely harsh. I have not smoked a ton of Anejos, but the few that I have were never like this. I decide to purge and give it one more shot, things quickly settled down.
After about 10 minutes cigar was smoking like a champ, tons of smokes and flavor as well. I detected leather/earthy notes with a moderate amount of sweetness. Draw was just about perfect.
Those flavors stated to about the halfway point and then a roast coffee and cocoa took over. Cigar burned well, and I was really enjoying the low 60's temps and my Siberian Night beer. The cigar started to heat up a little bit at this point, but I continued to smoke it to the nub.
Having killed an hour and half or so I decide it was time to make lunch. As I went in side I was struck with the urge to sit down. Sitting quickly turned into cold sweats and the need for crackers. Not much was helping so I went horizontal. Sprawled out on the couch I closed my eyes trying to figure out what happened. I am talking full on buzz; light headed, tummy churning, green looking, dead fish buzz.
After some time the nausea passed, I counted my blessings for not yarping and made a note on tasting card to "eat before smoking."
