El Martillo (My Boxing Name)
Please allow me to endulge...I thought of you all this evening and simply wanted to share this:
So my lovely esposa Cubanita (cuban wife) is out tonight celebrating the birthday of one of her girlfriends who is moving away from Miami. I, thankfully, was excused from the festivities.
I was sitting on my back balcony overlooking downtown Miami and Brickell, from my penthouse on South Miami Beach, and it was pitch dark at about 6:45 p.m. (damn time change is still driving me crazy). I decide to place Godfather I in the dvd (it looks simply AMAZING on my new...yes, I have to boast a little, Pioneer 50" Plasma). I ventured towards one of my humidors where I grasped one of my just received Gurkha 1940 pre-embargo 100% pure Cuban tobacco cigars (double corona). I have been waiting and waiting to try one as, when I first received the two boxes, I had a major cold and painfully abstained from smoking. So tonight was the night.
It came with the traditional shaggy foot, and immediately I was reminded of mi abuelo in Las Villas, Cuba who used to smoke cigars just such as this. I carefully rolled it between my thumb and fingers and inhaled deeply. Then, time to light up. For this, I opted for cedar strips. Why? Who knows, but I did anyway. The smoke that has been carefully waiting for 63 years to emerge finally did so. It was spectacular.
Gentlemen, and, of course, ladies...this was one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. I simply cannot express that enough. It was truly unbelievably delicious. I stepped out on to my front balcony to gaze at what little I could see of the ocean in the dark night and slight overcast, and decided to ignore the Godfather for the time being in lieu of some Jose Cura cds (although it was a split-decision for Beny More).
Everything simply came together and all elements combined to form one perfect session with this outstanding cigar. I cannot wait to enjoy the others (two boxes of double corona and one box of robustos). I also picked up a box of the 1958 Pinar Serie B Rothschild, although I am a bit guarded as to how it will be given that it is only 50% cuban, with 50% Dominican. Anyway, we shall see.
Sorry to go on for so long...I simply wanted to share this moment with those that I know, or at least imagine, can appreciate it and share in my happiness.
I hope all of you are well and enjoyed the recent Halloween festivities. Take care friends.
