Holy Smoke and a Rainy Afternoon

So here we are on a saturated afternoon, pleasantly burning the day away. Weekends are made for unwinding, relaxing and enjoying the finer things. On a day like this, I can think of nothing more than enjoying a great cigar with the rain gently falling from the rooftop.
The smell of Spanish Cedar fills the air with the aroma of a fine smoke shop as I crack the humidor open to make my selection. It takes me back to my first cigar shop experience in Old Town Chicago just off the corner of Wells & North Avenue; for those familiar with the area, you know exactly where I mean, however that's a story for another time.
Padron, Partagas, Avo, CAO, Macanudo, Fuente... So many choices and not a single one would be wrong on a day like this, however the selection needs to be just right. Will an Arturo Fuente Short Story do the trick, or perhaps a classic such as a 1926 Padron Anniversary?
As you can see, I'd like to dedicate this and future posts to one of my true passions, cigar smoking. My future writings will be intended for those seeking thoughtful insight to cigar smoking, techniques, humidor maintenance, reviews, newsletters and general news filtering throughout the cigar world. Should you not enjoy the world of cigars, please don't be discouraged from reading on, you may be able to find insight on what makes life more enjoyable. For me, cigars are just one of the pleasures in life.
So I encourage you to read on, come back, give me your thoughts, tell me your stories and most importantly, don't burn the day away.
