The Locations
After living over half my life in the USA, today is the day I finally become a US citizen. Prompted by the upcoming Presidential elections and my desire to vote, I passed the civic test, took the blood test and dressed up in my best suit to join 2,000 other folks to be sworn in.
A big part of the ceremony is the announcement of countries. As each country is announced (in alphabetical order) those present from that country stand and receive applause. The most people that stood were from China. There were 6 of us from Australia. Only 1 person from Sweden.
After the ceremony I registered to vote and we were off to the Big Four to celebrate with a glass of champagne.
The Smoke!
This is somewhat a sweet and rich smoke. The size is very comfortable and the draw
is ok.
The taste is above average but not great. Surprising given the hoopla around this cigar in the UK.
