Cigar Memories vol. 1

One of the best things I find about smoking is the memory with each stick. I'm going to take the time to share a bit of what I enjoy and some memories I have with a particular cigar.

Today's selection will be the Isla del Sol by Drew Estate. 

An amazing inexpensive cigar. Flavored with a taste of coffee , it's a dream. If you like sweet then this is good for you. 

I remember the first time I was told about this smoke. An asphalt guy pulled in puffing on it and was excited to tell me, "dude you have to try one! Here's the band. It's a $23 cigar a buddy gave me cuz he owed me money ".  

Needless to say I wasn't going to pay $23 for a cigar.  However when I found myself in a local shop and saw the price point under $5 I had to jump at it. And I'm glad I did. 

Another memory was smoking in a cemetery overlooking the Pittsburgh skyline.  My wife practicing yoga at the top of the hill and me smoking something glorious.  A beautiful view on a beautiful day with a beautiful woman .  

One of my fondest memories was the only time I've actually sat in a cigar lounge. I was enjoying my trusty Isla del Sol and watching Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Such an awesome experience to get the finish of the cigar as the nazis melted on screen.  I found myself in an incredible state of euphoria.

So there's a few of my fondest memories with one of my go to sticks. I hope you get to try one if you haven't already.  Follow me on twitter @cs_bones
