 Yesterday I stopped by the Famous Smoke Shop cigar store to have a smoke and watch the first of the two NFL division championship football games. Before I head for the store, I go through this ridiculous process of choosing "what would be a good cigar for today?" I must inspect at least a dozen or more cigars from each of my three humidors until I've found the right one. Sometimes too much choice can be a problem.

Today I want to digress from the usual cigars-oriented content.
Several months ago I began reading the "Memory of Fire" trilogy, Eduardo Galeano's fictionalized history of Latin America. Beginning with Columbus's discovery of what is now Haiti, year-by-year it meanders through five centuries of what might best be described as perpetual turmoil.

 Last weekend I joined the regulars in the Famous Smoke Shop cigar store for a Rocky Patel Cigars event. One of the featured cigars was one of Rocky's latest creations, the 1961 series, which he introduced at IPCPR New Orleans last year. Rocky's production manager, Shawn Bussler was kind enough to treat me to a Rocky Patel 1961 Toro which weighs-in at 6" x 52. And it really has some weight, too, being very solidly packed, while allowing an easy draw.

 There was a lot of chatter on Facebook, the cigar community sites, Twitter, et. al. last week about what cigar smokers were going to smoke on New Years Eve, or New Years Day. Several customers in the store also asked me what I was planning on enjoying, and to my surprise, it wasn't the cigar I ended up smoking. Of course, if you read the title to this blog you already know, and to tell the truth, I don't know if I could've come up with anything better.

 I hope most of you had a chance to enjoy some special cigars on Christmas. I had to wait until the day after, but it was worth the wait. I received a sample of the Davidoff L.E. '09 702 Toro earlier this year, when they debuted. I figured there was no use waiting any longer to smoke it, and it did not disappoint. The 6 5/8" x 48 vitola sports a stunning, flawless and dark Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper that surrounds a perfectly balanced blend of Piloto Cubano, Olor and San Vicente Dominican tobaccos.
