Memoirs of a Cigar

I guess you could say I’m a ‘new-wave’ cigar smoker. I sit on the beach listening to the weekly DJ Tiesto Podcast with my Girlfriend and our dog. I watch the sunset while I sip on a “Tinto De Verano”(a refreshing mix of Red Wine and Sprite) which literally translates to “Drink of the Summer”.

As for the cigar, it’s called El Rico Habano, and it’s a beautiful Maduro made by, and produced in, the same place as La Gloria Cubana. I picked up several El Rico’s when I visited their factory store “El Credito” in Miami’s Calle Ocho District this past Christmas.

This El Rico Habano has a 54 inch ring gauge and is about 7 inches long. It’s amazingly smooth, and I’m loving every bit of it. It’s everything I had hoped for, and exactly what I had expected from the folks who make La Gloria Cubana.
