Sometimes it just pays to sit quietly and contemplate “life”. A cigar helps put things in perspective. These are marvelous premium aged tobacco flavor bombs.

Casa Magna in size Churchill -  great way to spend a morning. Strong coffee pairs well with the heavy leather and earthy notes.

Warped Cigar Co. Chinchalle in Robusto. It’s worth the hype - definitely an amazing ultra-premium cigar. Caramel, vanilla, and a hint of coffee. This is a great cigar.

I bet the view of the lake is very nice with the colors in the trees now.

Absolutely Les! Like many mid-Atlantic states, fall in Virginia is beautiful. The lake is just the icing on the cake. I sit out and just watch nature unfold. Beats living in the congested DC burbs.

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Not really Jabber - it’s been sitting in my humidor for about two months just to acclimate it, but no aging to speak of.

A good choice. The Chinchalle is a medium body Dominican filler cigar. Not overwhelming at all. Not sure what your tastes are, but this cigar would pair well with an Irish coffee, or a french style rum.

If your palate gets overwhelmed with a very harsh aftertaste and/or a burning sensation, then you may be smoking the stick too fast. If the ember gets too hot it will burn too quickly and too harsh. Rule of thumb is to take a strong puff of the cigar once every minute to keep it from overheating and to not overwhelm your taste buds.

That’s a general rule - some cigars I smoke faster, but always try to pace myself.

This is very important in pipe smoking as well. How a pipe is packed has alot to do with that.
