The holidays are coming and that means the year is almost over. At this time we always reflect upon the past, but also the present and future of our lives. We think about how life was when we were young, tell our loved ones stories from decades ago, and remind ourselves that the loved ones we have lost are symbols of what is inevitable. This is the time to be thankful for what we have. It is important to be happy, relax, and possibly even gain a pound or two over a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

I am currently smoking a rather nice AVO No. 2. With an even burn, this guy is dependable. In a daze, all I can think about is how many cigars have I had over the years? How many life-changing experiences have I encountered while (or even thanks to!) smoking? I am relaxed by the cigar, but saddened by the fact that I can never have a conversation with my grandfather over a cigar anymore. Cigars are hourglasses for relaxation; you must stop and think about things when smoking. Lighting a stogie is like telling everyone, nicely I would hope, to just back off for an hour or so.
My point is that this cigar made me think about the cigars I have had over the past 12 months. What ones did I love? Which ones did I forget? A note: I am no professional when it comes to describing cigars. I do not follow when some people discuss the first third of a cigar tasting like chocolate and spice with hints of vanilla bean and citrus. What I can do is tell you if I actually liked the cigar. I think that is more important, but maybe that is just my opinion.
The first cigar I am thankful for is the Arturo Fuente 8-5-8, a milder cigar that is quite spectacular. Smooth and nutty, I was sure to have quite a few of these guys resting in the good old humidor. They are also great to give away as gifts or to share due to their versatility. It fits just about every palate!
A second trusted pal was the Oliva Serie ‘O’. In hindsight, I am not sure why I only smoked a few of these this year. The whole time I smoked it, I felt like I was in heaven. With a great draw and even burn, this delicious cigar was worth every penny.
The Padilla 1932 is another important, classic cigar to mention. It is a new one for me; medium-bodied with a smooth smoke. It also had a nice burn all throughout smoking. Not much else you need in a cigar, right? I’m sure if I counted how many of these I had in the last year, it would be in the hundreds.
And last—but not least—is the Rocky Patel Sun Grown. This is one of my most trusted go-to stogies. I have never had a dull experience smoking one of these cigars.
Well, my AVO is about ready to be nubbed. I hope you all have a wonderful, happy holiday season of warmth and relaxation—and don’t forget to have a couple of stogies every now-and-then! Good health, good company, good food, and great cigars are all I could possibly ask for at this time of year.
Salud!
