Cigars have been a way of life for me since adolesence. From age 14 to 20 I smoked just about anything I could get my hands on but always thought Cubans were the best of the best. That was until the late 90's and early 00's I started getting bad runs with my cubans and found that to get any good quality like the days of old you had to buy the limitadas. This turned me off. 2 consecutive boxes I bought were too young and I abondoned Cuba all together, convinced at the time there were better non cubans out there. I found many loves in honduras, nicaragua, and the dominican republic. Saddly I found myself only smoking 1/3 of a cigar and never taking the time to sense the pre light aroma, toast the foot, the proper cut, etc. Dont get me wrong I was still very passionate about cigars, but the romance was not there anymore. It was like a married couple that still loves each other but have lost the excitement through to much routine.
Last night the romance returned. After not smoking a cuban in 5 years (except for a few here and there I recieed as gifts) I bought two boxes a few weeks ago out of the blue. Partagas D Limitada and Upmann No. 2's "Cuba is back in my book" The cigars I smoked last night were fantastic. I feel like a cigar smoker reborn. I will still primarly smoke NC's but man it was like falling in love all over again last night.
