A Moment of Silence

Yesterday afternoon, I lit up a stogie poured myself a Glenfiddich Whiskey and then logged onto my laptop to stream in the Cigar Dave Show.

Cigar: Cojimar NU Orange with Tequila LiqueurMade in Dominican RepublicSize: 5” x 42 I did enjoy this cigar as a breakfast smoke with my cup of black (no cream and sugar for me) coffee while doing some administrative work on my laptop.
