The Breath Thread

TheBeard and I smoked five cigars between us last night (we puff-puff-pass a lot). Afterwards he had such tasty "cigar mouth" that I threatened to roll up his beard and smoke it.

Don't know what it was about the sticks we herfed down that had that effect, but kissing him had this really intense "good tobacco and cedar" taste and smell. I'm not generally a fan of any type of stale cigar aromas on clothes or hair; once the leaf is smoked the oils degrade pretty rapidly and change their taste profile. But apparently some cigars work better than others for leaving a nicer smell, at least in the short term.

If you are curious about the lineup, it was a Tat SW Maduro, a Tat Petite, a Gurkha Titan, a Rocky Patel 1990 and a Diablo. Rob got a lot more of the first Tat than I did, and I got a lot more of the Gurkha and the Rocky.
