Oct 19th 2011 - Camacho Pre-Embargo

Today's cigar is the Camacho Pre-Embargo which only comes in a 6x48 vitola. The Camacho Pre-Embargo features a 1999 Vintage Jamastran Corojo Wrapper and features fillers that include authentic pre-embargo Cuban tobacco. The Pre Embargo is one of the greatest cigars I've ever had the pleasure of smoking. From the classic Cuban tastes to the light spice this medium bodied cigar is a pleasure. I chose this to be today's cigar because it was on this day in 1960 that President John Kennedy signed into effect the Cuban Embargo. While Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States the Camacho Pre-Embargo is fully legal to buy and mixes tastes of what cigar were like then and what they've developed into now.

Oct 7th 2011 - Cohiba Siglo VI

Today's cigar is the Cohiba Siglo VI coming from Cuba. The Siglo VI comes in a 5.9x52 vitola. This cigar is a smooth full flavored pleasure that reviewers say is sweet and spicy with an excellent aroma. I haven't had one of these yet but was gifted one a few months back as a congratulatory cigar after I got engaged. Which brings me to why this is today's daily cigar. Exactly 1 year from now I will be marrying the love of my life and this will be the cigar that I enjoy on my wedding day. I'll be smoking this beauty while wearing my tuxedo t-shirt after becoming the luckiest man alive.
