breakfast.
That looks delicious. I really wish I could join you. Month-end is just too crazy. I'm glad there isn't a jam today to distract me.
after I get my sauce started I may try the Havana Soul TD sent me. the history is interesting:
Although it has been recreated and re-blended several times, it still comes across as a premium example of a medium to full Nicaraguan cigar.
The first version was a collaboration between Mitchel Hirsh and Don Pepin Garcia. It was blended and manufactured by Don Pepin Garcia, at the El Rey de los Habanos factory in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami, Florida. It was well-acclaimed and very popular. However, that cigar was discontinued in 2007. In 2010, Rocky Patel reintroduced the line, and despite its success, ended production within a relatively short period of time.
Finally, (I believe in 2015), a collaboration was born between Mitchel Hirsh and A. J. Fernandez, using the same blend and tobaccos from the original production. This modern Havana Soul is produced at the Tobacalera Fernandez factory, located in Esteli, Nicaragua. I've never had one of the original DPG version of this cigar, but I can't imagine it could be any better than the newest incarnation.
