The occasional clove cigarette is just TOO GOOD

[Guitar Woman]

I know this thread is about cloves but I am going to treat it like a smoking thread and brag about my cigar, because it was good.

Well, uh, my cigar was good. Romeo y Julieta Churchill, lasted about an hour and sort of tasted like how sun-baked leather in old pickup trucks smell. That might sound nasty, but for me, it's one of those weird, soothing smells that you don't get to sample enough. Like fresh cut grass or a charcoal grill warming up. And it had a lovely spectrum of other subtle flavors that my palate is not sophisticated enough to dissect. I don't usually smoke cigars, so I don't really have a basis for comparison, and more accomplished snobs might think it's a bad smoke, but I liked it.
