It's President's Day and I'm on the beach watching the Men's Downhill at Whistler. And even though only .09 second separates the medal winners, it's not very exciting and I yearn for the days of Klammer and Russi.... now they were skiers!
I decide to break into the black lacquered box of Reserva's that I haven't opened in a long time. When I first smoked one of these back in 2001, I was that impressed as it was extremely mild and somewhat subtle.
The 8 years in the back of my storage in Mill Valley has served them well. They are still shiny, spongy firm and the construction is flawless. I cut with a cat's eye and begin to savor a remarkably good smoke. Still subtle and mild but with and increased intensity in the finish. I'm going to smoke this down to the very end.
