Today was a good day
I opened my humi for a way to end it right and staring me in the face was a Feunte Feunte Opus X. I decided it was finally time to lay fire to this most hallowed of cigars.
As I sat down outside to light it I started thinking technically about the cigar. I then decided this was just silly. I will sit down to a technical review with my next X this time I was resolved to simply sit back, relax and enjoy.
As the first few puffs hit my pallet my mind began to wander. It immediatly wandered to my fellow BOTLs here at CP. First I thought about how great it has been these last seven months being able to share my cigar experiences with such a great group of guys and gals.
I then thought about CigarDawg who sent me my newbie bomb, in which was a Centurian Double X that I smoked on my wedding day. This was a great memory, to think, CigarDawg a gentleman who did not know me from any other jack sent me a cigar that made the best (and hottest) day of my life a great deal better by giving me a smoke that tops my list of favorites.
Then I thought of AVB who has given me much advise on spirits and smokes that I will always abide by...though my scotch list still limited
A guy can dream.
Then I thought about a my recent trade with JC (Lumberg) that landed me the Opus X I am now smoking. How great of it was him to offer these to me out of his own collection for a most fair price? Saving me tons of trouble trying to find them on my own and offering two extra smokes in the package simply because that is the kind of guy he is. Thanks JC.
My thoughts then wandered to friends I have locally that I share smokes and conversations with. One of which posts here as SabresFan. A smile crossed my face as I figured the cigar I was now smoking was worth more than his whole stash :sign: . You gotta try one of these SabresFan...
I snapped back for a bit as a man walked up my street swaying from one side to another. Obviously drunk off his ass. It was an awfully chilly PA night to be making that walk alone. I know because it was not long ago I made that walk nightly.
This downer of a thought brought me to the recent events on CP. The bans and the salesmen. Always sad to see people fall from grace but we are lucky to have CoventryCat86, ggeise, and SamClemmons around to sniff out the perp like boys in CP blue. These guys deserve a big ol' thanks, there are many others as well that I know I am leaving out of the enforcement crew.
Many other thoughts crossed my mind as well. mostly entertaining to say the least. It was a great reminder that no matter how stressful life gets we can all take a few moments now and again to think about what we do have and realize the meaning behind it. Great friens, Great familly, great smokes...
Yeah
Today was a good day.
P.S. The cigar was pretty damn good too :thumbs: :love:
