Today, September 19, 2007, I turned the big 3-0. To celebrate I pulled out the big guns....a Swisher Sweet.
:sign: Just kidding.
I smoked my first WOAM, one that was so generously gifted by a botl here (you know who you are! Thank you!) and it was from 2001!!! It was mildly toothy and sparkled with plume. The oilyness was a thing of beauty. The prelight smell was fantastic and the light was amazing. This cigar was so smoothe. I paired it with a small snifter of Remy Martin XO. That was amazingly smoothe as well. The WOAM yielded no burn when expelled nasally. My pleasure meter was pegged. I was enjoying this so much, I couldn't read the book I brought out with me. Even the ash was sparkly which I have never seen before. The taste is what I would describe as deep and rich, with a short finish and a mild and delicous aftertaste. I am not great at describing flavors but I would say cedar and coffee. I have never had a cigar aged for almost 7 years. It was enjoyment of epic proportions. Nubbed it.
A personal reflection:
In 30 years of life, I have learned some things. I have escaped drug addiction. I have escaped a beautiful woman who was the devil in the flesh. I have had 4 years of marriage to a wonderful woman. My wife almost died giving birth to our 1st son. They are both alive and well and I am the father of a beautiful boy. I will jump out of a perfectly good airplane one day. I believe in gun control...make sure you hit what you're aiming at!
In 30 years of life, I have learned...
...my body can't take what it used to
...you don't have to be drunk to have a good time
...whatever political party you vote for, no one is ever totally right
...having a good cigar to me is stopping to smell the roses
...mortgage is a necessary evil
...taking time off is just as important as working more to make a little extra
...marriage is great if you wait for the right person (but I didn't say easy)
...though I have talents, skills and knowledge, I am not better than anyone else
...a beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout
...that there is a difference between confidence and arrogance
...that I have much more to learn
...that there is a God and He has been much more generous to me than I deserve.

True. True.
