My Quest for my "Perfect Morning Coffee Cigar"

A beautiful weekday morning here and I had a little bit of time to enjoy a coffee and a smoke, so I reached for what is becoming one of my favorite little coffee cigars, a Davidoff Winston Churchill Belicoso.

I find these to have a wonderful flavor, and the perfect size for this purpose and I just love the band on it also. My grandmother was from a British colony, and she loved Winston Churchill. I share her fascination with WSC, and also being an avid reader on history, I think that all lends itself to me liking this cigar even more.

Have a great Friday all!

My box of Curivari Reserva Limitada Cafe Petit arrived yesterday and I had to try one today. It is a beautiful sunny morning here in Ohio, with the temperatures in the mid 60s.

My first impressions after lighting this cigar up was that it might be a little bit too full-bodied for me as a morning coffee cigar. I got some pepper notes right off the bat, and as I continued to smoke it, they calmed down within the first 1/3 of the cigar and it had a nice, full flavor throughout. After a while, I did start to get the coffee and chocolate notes the other reviews note. One reviewer I saw, noted that this cigar was “meaty and savory”, which I also think describes this cigar well. It is definitely stronger than the other morning Cigars I’ve tried, as they have tended to be more on the mild side, and this one is listed as more medium to full bodied, which I believe is accurate.

Overall, I really enjoyed this cigar and how different it was compared to the others I have tried recently with my morning coffee. I do think because of the strength of the cigar, coffee is the perfect pairing. I will keep these little powerhouses on hand to have with my morning coffee on the patio, after a hearty breakfast, as I did today.

Thank you so much for the suggestion, and introducing me to this wonderful little cigar. It was a nice change of pace from the others I have enjoyed recently.

Make it a great day all!

This morning we decided to stop in Cincinnati at a nice local cigar shop, while on our way home from spending a couple days on the Bourbon Trail in Louisville, Kentucky. We stopped at Creekside Cigar in Maineville, Ohio, a suburb if Cinci, which is one of my absolute favorite cigar shops.

This shop is on a wonderful property with a picturesque setting, overlooking Bear Run creek, which is a feeder creek of the Little Miami River. They always have an amazing cigar selection, are the friendliest staff and they also have some of the best coffee you will ever have the pleasure to enjoy.

After perusing the humidor, I chose a Valacari Lumineer, which was a new stick for me. Being a Toro size, it is not necessarily the same size of coffee cigars that I have been smoking, but it was a beautiful day at 75 degrees and I had some time to enjoy it.

The Lumineer was a truly wonderful cigar, and paired great with their coffee. These are not necessarily easy sticks to find, so while it will not find its way into my regular coffee cigar rotation, it was a wonderful cigar and I appreciated the opportunity to enjoy it in the delightful company of my wife and our friends.

Happy Labor Day ladies and gents. I hope you all find some time as this weekend draws to a close for some rest and relaxation.
