What makes a good cigar a good cigar?

No harshness or strong earth into the final third. Just amazing. I don't like the flavors to completely change.

But change they did, didn't they? That's what I'd call complexity. They mixed it up a bit as it went along - one, then the other, then another, came to the fore.

When I think "change," I think of entirely new flavors. Huh. Learn something new everyday.

Of course, that's simply my definition. Shilala might disagree completely.

And again, I must restate what is in my tag line. You smoke what your palate likes, and enjoy it. I'll smoke what I like. It may make for interesting conversation, but I am not going to smoke to please your palate, nor should you smoke to please mine.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
