Montecristo Cigars

    I would like to take this time to ask any of you good readers out there about your favorite Scotch whiskey.  Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know.I spent some time at a workshop a few Saturdays ago owned by a friend of mine who is a great carpenter.  At 2:00 PM every Saturday he shuts everything down and gets the scotch out, lights up a Cuban cigar and kicks back for the rest of the afternoon.  I should go over there more often than I do but after my last visit I’m going to make more of an effort.  That day he pulled out a bottle a fine fine single malt.  This one was Aberlour A’bunadh from Great Britan, a beautiful reddish brown color and was smooth as silk.  we paired it up with a Montecristo A.  This is quite a large cigar, a gran corona with a 47 ring gauge and talk about a match made in Heaven.  It wasn’t as strong and powerful as, lets say, an Edmundo but was almost 2 hours of fun and entertainment.  A wonderfully earthy tasting cigar, slightly herbal and creamy.I’m thinking that next Saturday will be a fine time to stop by again!!!!!
