Anthony brought home this lovely bottle of Dominican Rum for my woman cave. It's like we have this contest going on as far as who can keep the most liquor in their caves. I have bottles I don't open and he opens all his bottles. There is nothing wrong with that, because liquor was made for drinking.
However, I have opened up the Ron Barcelo bottle of rum. I plan to have it with my cigar this afternoon while I box. Anthony has boxing bags downstairs in the man cave. And on days like this, when I can't go to the gym (the gym closed early) I like to box. And I love puffing on a cigar when I take breaks.
Okay, I can't sit here and tell you I am a woman that knows all you need to know about cigars and liquor. I enjoy cigars immensely. I know a great cigar when I taste one. At some point, I possibly had 60 to 70% of the blends that were considered more in demand or became highly reccomended by cigar smokers.
But over the past few years, I have to tell you, there have been so many new manufacturers, many I have never heard of. And many have good blends.
Within recent years, I have been faithful to only a few blends that I felt comfortable with, or that was within my budget because I enjoy cigars quite a bit.
I can not afford to smoke on two or three $15 sticks a day. That's crazy to me. I don't have it like that. So in order for me to enjoy cigars at length. I have to stay with my budget, or Jose of Don Rigo will send me some of his blends to sample.And maybe I will choose a different cigar if I go to a cigar lounge.
I believe it has been a little over a year since I have been drinking dark liquor straight, rum and whiskeys primarily. I couldn't suggest which cigar is the perfect pair with this spirit. I can tell you this cigar is wonderful and that spirit is excellent. And if you enjoy them both, why not pair them! I do understand however, that if you pair one spirit with the right or wrong cigar, you may lose certain notes or pick up flavors, or certain notes could be even enhanced. But truthfully I am not on that level yet.
I am however, highly experienced in picking out antique and vintage glass pieces. And I have sold hundreds to collectors all over the world.
Sometimes I like to keep it simple. Like today. I am having my Dominican Ron Barcelo Rum, a Don Rigo cigar that is Dominican and Cubano and I am going to box, to start my New Years Eve off.
Hugs to Everyone,
Happy New Year
